There is no doubt that the great claim of the movie The Flash is to see Michael Keaton reprise his role as Batman more than 30 years after his appearance in Batman Returns.
Adapting the popular Flashpoint saga from the comics, the plot of The Flash will show the consequences that take place when Barry Allen decides to travel to the past to save his mother, changing the entire timeline as he knew it..
This will make us not only see Michael Keaton again, but also have the Batman of Ben Affleck in the film that will turn the DC universe upside down and will justify the significant changes that the new DC universe that James Gunn and Peter Safran are making.
“Flash will reset a lot of things, but not all. Some characters will be the same and some will not.Gunn came to explain about the future of the DC Extended Universe.
Not every Batman movie will have a place in James Gunn’s DC Universe
In view of the return of Michael Keaton as Batman, there have been many fans who have wondered if other iterations of the popular character of the comics could appear in the future.
Although everything is possible in this crazy plot of multiverses and parallel realities, James Gunn is very clear about which Batman we will never see in his new DC Universe: George Clooney’s.
Absolutely not.

“Absolutely not,” Gunn responded on Twitter to a fan who asked if it was true that George Clooney was being cast as the new lead Batman for the DC Extended Universe.
In view of this, another fan wanted to clear up his doubts and asked the director if the Batman of his DC Universe would be an actor who had previously played the character or if, on the contrary, it would be a completely new actor. Gunn’s response was most clear.
New actor.

“New actor,” James Gunn commented, making it clear that The Flash will be the last time we see Ben Affleck as Batman. At the moment he has not confirmed if they already have someone in mind to assume the role of the Dark Knight.
After several modifications of dates, it seems that finally The Flash movie will be released in theaters on June 16, 2023.. Do you want to see Michael Keaton as Batman again?
