Ben Affleck officially gave up the cape and cowl of Batman a few years ago following several films in the DC Cinematic Universe and backed away from also directing a solo Bat flick under fears it would trigger drinking issues he was dealing with. Now fast forward to this week, as we learn that Batfleck will rise for another role but he will not be the only big-name actor returning to be the Dark Knight. 

The upcoming Flashpoint film will see the fastest hero in the DCU, the Flash speeding through multiverses that allow us to see multiple versions of the same characters. This allows Ben Affleck to portray Batman along with Michael Keaton who is also reportedly locked in for the film. Beyond the Trailer’s Grace Randolph breaks it all down in this video who also gets a scoop on Affleck possibly sticking around for more with the character on the HBO MAX streaming service. 

This is a huge weekend for DC Comic fandom as tomorrow (August 22nd) will see the big-budget streaming event DC Fandome which will see big reveals about upcoming movies and TV shows including a looking into Wonder Woman 1984, Justice League: the Snyder Cut, and much more.
