THE FLASH: Ben Affleck Is Officially Returning As BATMAN In The 2022 Movie

f*** YES

He won't have a lot of screentime but hopefully that leaves the door open for an evantual standalone Batfleck movie

So do we get George and Val back as well?

Starting to venture into CW crossover territory here.

The DCEU is a total mess.

He's in kind of rough shape after the throat cancer. Would be in better had he taken proper treatment ASAP.

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

If the Pattinson one is a success – which would lead to a sequel – wouldn't that kill any chance of a batfleck movie?

 

[Say Hey Kid]

He's 48 years old.

 

[kihei]

Hollywood's principal character flaw in action: lack of imagination.

 

[HolyGhost]

The DCEU is a total mess.

understatement

 

[KallioWeHardlyKnewYe]

**fart noise**

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Zero duces given

 

[NyQuil]

I actually think he's not bad as Bruce Wayne.

It's just that they can't get their shit together collectively as a movie universe.

How many different Jokers and Batmans are we running here?

 

[Power Man]

And they are adding Keaton

 

[Jussi]

And I doubt either will be wearing the cape in it.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Lol, might as well digitally re-create Adam West's batman while they're at it. What a bunch of goofs.

 

[Burnoutboi]

The DCEU is a total mess.

Hey, let's not spend any quality time building a character up before jumping straight into a massive, multiverse spanning ensemble. Brilliant, DC!

I don't mind the Batfleck. I also don't blame him for bailing on the clusterfluck that happens with DC in the background.

 

[The Shadow]

Yawn

 

[x Tame Impala]

Is this just for Flashpoint Paradox?

 

[Jussi]

Is this just for Flashpoint Paradox?

Probably.

He's gonna get paid for a cameo role basically it looks like, can't fault him for that. DC on the other hand.

 

[archangel2]

curious to know if he is doing because he wants to do it or because he would need to repay the money he was paid to do a stand-alone movie. He had quite the hissy fit when he was told he would not be directing it and everytime it came time to shoot, he headed off to rehab

I didn't necessarily dislike Affleck as Batman. The problem was DC trying to catch up with the MCU and put all their heroes together before we got any of their backstories. It would have been like Marvel going from Iron Man to Infinity War. Had they actually not tried to "race" Marvel, I would imagine they would have gone with someone younger for Batman.

It was so obvious and short-sighted.

Basically they got greedy and decided to play catch up right away.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

I like him as an older, more jaded Bruce Wayne/Batman but the films thus far hasn't done him justice.

 

[Roo Returns]

(This is partially satire so don't take it too seriously) I think they should really force anyone who wants to make a major superhero movie to take a test on the characters and get license. It should be at least as difficult as a state test.

Too much over saturation. The characters aren't special any more. How many Batman-related shows are in circulation now? Stop and let it breath.
