There's more to the upcoming episode than Bruce Wayne's appearance since it has also been revealed that Christine Baranski will return to play Leonard's mom, the great Dr. Beverly Hodstadter. John Ross Bowie will also be back as Barry Kripke, and Wil Wheaton will appear to portray himself.
Finally, there's Sara Gilbert, whose role is Leslie Winkle, Leonard's former flame. Although there are no details about the upcoming episode's plot, it is rumored that Winkle's return may cause some issues between lovebirds Leonard and Penny (Kaley Cuoco).
Leonard went looking for love when he first broke up with Penny in season 3, and while the man is now happy, Winkle's return might fuel some fire from the past that was supposed to be long forgotten.
It is also rumored that Sheldon will finally pop the question to Amy (Mayim Bialik) during his birthday party. Sheldon's proposal has been hampered due to some unfortunate events in his relationship with Amy, but fans have long been requesting for an engagement between the two.
None of the rumors are sure to happen since no synopsis has been revealed by CBS, but it is expected that Sheldon's party will be a blast.
The 200th episode of "The Big Bang Theory" will air Thursday, Feb. 25, on CBS.
