Part 2/9:
Ryan from Arcade Outpost kicks off the discussion with enthusiasm over the news that affirms Ben Affleck's reprise of Batman alongside Michael Keaton's more seasoned iteration in The Flash. The confirmation comes from a Vanity Fair article, citing The Flash director Andy Muschietti himself — marking a significant shift in the ongoing narrative about Affleck’s involvement in DC projects.
This return is particularly notable because it signals the continuation of Affleck’s version of Batman, first seen in Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman and Justice League. Not only does this renew interest in Affleck's portrayal, but it also adds complexity to DC's multiverse approach.
