“[Curran] has a big speech in that scene.
No spoilers, [but] it’s a very intense moment in his relationship with the Flash.
You’ll see throughout the episodes how Despero tests Flash in various ways.

This is one of those moments.
That’s what makes it so pivotal.
“Be careful what you see,” he says with a laugh.

“Your eyes can sometimes deceive you.”
This isn’t a guy who just stands there and talks for five episodes.
You’ll see him using some of his familiar powers from the comic books.

This is not exactly the Despero that you might know from the comics, or theJustice Leaguecartoon.
Not only that, but Wallace believes Curran’s performance also brought out the best in the entire cast.
“Tony’s the nicest guy ever, but he doesn’t mess around.
Two amazing performers giving just incredible, incredible performances in two really special roles.”
Of course, Despero isn’t the only bad guy in “Armageddon.”
“What happens when you have one bad guy?
Well, bad things happen.
What happens when you have more than one bad guy?
