Ben Affleck wants to know again. Together with Michael Keaton he is supposed to breathe life into Batman again in "The Flash".
Ben Affleck (48) returns as Bruce Wayne alias Batman. Fans can look forward to a cameo of the Dark Knight in The Flash's upcoming solo adventure of the same name, according to "Vanity Fair". The US magazine quotes director Andy Muschietti (46): Batman is "a very important part of the emotional impact of the film".
What exactly does he mean by that? Bruce Wayne and Barry Allen, who is behind The Flash, played by Ezra Miller, 27, would interact on such a deep level that it would create something "never seen before". "It's Barry's film, 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 film. This is where Affleck comes in as Batman." , explains Muschietti. A week after receiving the script, the actor agreed to be part of the film.
Jumps in time make the encounter possible
"The Flash" is supposed to take place in multiverses, which enables characters from separate DC universes and different times to meet. If the report is to be believed, several Batmans will exist at the same time. Not only Affleck is returning, Michael Keaton (68) should once again be seen in the role of the Dark Knight. The premiere of "The Flash" is planned for June 3, 2022 in the USA.
