Against all odds and with divided opinions, Ben Affleck will put on the Batman cape once again to play the masked superhero in the movie about the character of The Flash, which is being prepared by Argentine director Andy Muschietti, the director of “It” (2017) and “It Chapter Two” (2019).
Vanity Fair magazine said that Affleck will join Michael Keaton, another actor who played Batman in the past, to jointly bring this superhero to life in a Warner Bros. film that will try to bring the idea of the “multiverse to the big screen ” of DC Comics.

In this “multiverse”, different superheroes and villains can appear in different plots, worlds and temporal realities that coexist within a large narrative framework. This “multiverse” allowed the authors of DC Comics to play with greater flexibility when it came to fiddling with the characters, who could appear in different narrative lines and under different attributes, without losing the illusion of coherence of the whole.
Thus, in this film about The Flash, starring Ezra Miller, different versions of Batman on the skin, at least for now, of Affleck and Keaton. “Affleck’s Batman has a dichotomy that is very strong: his masculinity, because of his appearance and imposing figure (…), and that he is very vulnerable,” Muschietti said.
