Ben Affleck will don the cape and cowl once again, returning as Batman in Ezra Miller’s “The Flash” for Warner Bros

. He told the magazine that Affleck got the script last week and agreed this week to join the project. Affleck starred as the Caped Crusader in 2016’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and 2017’s “Justice League.”

“The Flash” will feature Miller’s Barry Allen appearing in parallel dimensions and meeting different versions of DC’s heroes. Michael Keaton, who played Batman/Bruce Wayne in Tim Burton’s 1989 pic and returned to collaborate with the director in 1992’s “Batman Returns,” is also due toAffleck had been planning to direct and star in a standalone Batman film for Warner Bros., but stepped down from helming in 2017, handing over that job to Matt Reeves.

Muschietti, who directed the “It” movies for Warner Bros., praised Affleck’s take on Batman: “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.

“He’s a very substantial part of the emotional impact of the movie. The interaction and relationship between Barry and Affleck’s Wayne will bring an emotional level that we haven’t seen before,” the director said. “It’s Barry’s movie, it’s Barry’s story, but their characters are more related than we think. They both lost their mothers to murder, and that’s one of the emotional vessels of the movie. That’s where the Affleck Batman kicks in.

I can't decide which Batman I am least interest in, another pointless turn with Ben Affleck or the needless version with Robert Pattinson.

If the word 'underrated' needs to be described in picture then show them a Ben Affleck picture as Batman. He honestly wasn't bad at all as predicted. A decent farewell to him is overdue. Good to have him back one last time. Batman

WTF DC? Why do you have two of everything? Two Batman, two joker, two suicide squad. 😔 for once do something good.

Didn’t Ezra get fired for assaulting a girl in public ?

im readyyyyyyy

What if..... SnyderVerse on hbomax

BenAffleck you deserve this!!! That's amazing!!

I guess the snyder peeps are the only ones who care.

DC is destroying Marvel lately ....

God, hasn’t 2020 been hard enough?

Kindly stop using the same Batfleck picture.

This is like a bad break-up
