Ben Affleck Will Return as Batman in The Flash

As Matt Reeves revealed the logo to the upcoming The Batman, major news regarding the upcoming Flash film has been revealed first by Vanity Fair.

Academy Award winner Ben Affleck is coming back for one more film, with Affleck agreeing to return as Bruce Wayne in the upcoming big-screen version of The Flash, Vanity Fair has learned.

Director Andy 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.”

“I’m glad to be collaborating with someone who has been on both sides of the camera, too,” Muschietti said. “He understands.”

The Flash movie, which is planned for release in summer 2022, will feature fast-moving hyper-hero Barry Allen, starred by Ezra Miller.
