Ben Affleck will return as Batman . The popular actor and director will once again don the Caped Crusader suit in the upcoming Flash movie, according to Vanity Fair. So get ready, because this news is sure to spark another heated debate between supporters and opponents. But whatever anyone says, Affleck will be Bruce Wayne again.
Ben Affleck returns to the role of Bruce Wayne
Throughout the history of film and television, we've seen many actors portray Batman , but not all of them fit the role of the Dark Knight equally well. For many, Christian Bale has been the best , thanks in part to the much darker and more mature approach seen in Nolan's trilogy. Conversely, Val Kilmer and George Clooney have been among the weakest.
Ben Affleck for his part has suffered a bit of everything. For many, his role did not quite convince in any of the films in which he participated, both in which he was alone and accompanied by other DC superheroes. However, there were also those who were satisfied and to this day they still think that he simply lacked another opportunity to show that he can be considered one of the best Batman in history.
If this is the case, if he really needed a little more screen time embodying the role of Bruce Wayne, the billionaire behind the Batman costume, now he'll have the opportunity. As Vanity Fair has reported, after reading the script for the new Flash movie, Affleck has agreed to reprise the role.
So, barring any unforeseen circumstances—which we hope will be the case—a film will be released in the summer of 2022 in which Ben Affleck will not have the main role, but will have an important part in the story starring Ezra Miller as Barry Allen , or as many know him, The Flash.
The Flash, what we know about the movie
This film will be directed by Andy Muschietti, who is quite excited about Affleck's return. According to him, the popular actor and director hasn't received the recognition he truly deserves. So, having him back is not only a great opportunity for that, but also to give the film greater depth and a stronger connection. After all, the Flash we saw in Justice League is the same actor who shared the screen with Ben Affleck. Therefore, there was no other possible combination of actors to give the film the coherence they're looking for.
Despite everything, it seems there will be surprises. Michael Keaton will also appear due to the crossover of alternate dimensions. How and when this will happen is still a mystery, but if you're a fan of the speedy superhero's adventures, you'll be interested to know that it will be an adaptation of the 2011 Flashpoint series.
In short, Ben Affleck is returning to the role of Batman in The Flash movie, alongside the same actor who played the speedy hero in Justice League . So, whether you like it or not, he'll be there. What do you think? Are you excited about his return, or are you completely indifferent? What new Batmobile will we see this time?
