Ben Affleck Returning as Batman in The Flash!
Before you get all excited, the return of Ben Affleck as Batman won’t happen until 2022, with The Flash movie. Read on since Ben Affleck will return as Batman in The Flash movie…
CelebnMovies247.com reports, that the Argo director’s brooding Dark Knight is coming back for one more movie, with Affleck agreeing to return as Bruce Wayne in the upcoming big-screen version of The Flash.
As many were happy to hear that Ben Affleck resigned from The Batman solo film following intense discussion that Ben didn’t play Bruce Wayne correctly.
Now, the news that Ben Affleck is returning for one more film, The Flash movie, which is planned for release in summer 2022, will feature fast-moving hyper-hero Barry Allen, played by Ezra Miller.
NOTE: This news does not disrupt The Batman film starring Robert Pattinson, who remains the future of the franchise.
The upcoming Flash movie will be breaking the bonds of physics to crash into various parallel dimensions, where he’ll encounter slightly different versions of DC’s classic heroes.
It’s an adaptation of DC’s 2011 Flashpoint series of comic book crossovers, directed by Andy Muschietti.
Muschietti said in an interview:
His Batman has a dichotomy that is very strong, which is his masculinity—because of the way he looks, and the imposing figure that he has, and his jawline —but he’s also very vulnerable. He knows how to deliver from the inside out, that vulnerability. He just needs a story that allows him to bring that contrast, that balance.
Affleck got the script at the end of last week and agreed this week to join the project.
The director added:
He’s a very substantial part of the emotional impact of the movie. The interaction and relationship between Barry and Affleck’s Wayne will bring an emotional level that we haven’t seen before. It’s Barry’s movie, it’s Barry’s story, but their characters are more related than we think. They both lost their mothers to murder, and that’s one of the emotional vessels of the movie. That’s where the Affleck Batman kicks in.
Muschietti went on to say:
I’m glad to be collaborating with someone who has been on both sides of the camera, too. He understands.
Affleck won’t be the only Batman making a comeback; a few more of the alternate-dimension heroes who turn up in the Flash movie will be figures we’ve seen before.
Michael Keaton’s Batman from the 1989 Tim Burton film is also set to appear in what Muschietti said was a “substantial” part.
