Speaking on Michael Rosenbaum’s podcast “Inside of You,” the superhero actor admitted that he would regularly argue with a school friend that Superman was far superior to the Flash.

Gustin also noted that he would have never turned up his nose at playing the Flash or another superhero. “I don’t think I also was, you know, at the time like ‘Oh, I’d rather play Superman or Batman,’ because I never thought I’d be any superhero,” he explained.
As evidenced by his t-shirt in the photo above, Gustin still proudly displayed his love of Superman while promoting “The Flash” at Comic Con. However, he certainly ended up finding common ground with his character, who was fawning all over Oliver Queen and the Arrow when he first turned up in Starling City. “I love that the character, himself, is kind of a fanboy … I relate to that.
