Part 4/9:
Producer Barbara Muschietti highlights the emotional connection between Affleck's Batman and Barry, pointing out their shared trauma—the loss of their mothers—which offers a poignant narrative thread. This emotional core may offer fans a fresh lens through which to view Affleck’s Batman, setting this iteration apart from previous portrayals.
The Significance of Affleck’s Return
Interestingly, Affleck received the The Flash script only recently, at the end of last week, and decided to join the project shortly thereafter. This swift decision hints at both strong motivation and enthusiasm on Affleck’s part, especially given his previous reservations about returning to the cape and cowl following the difficult production of Justice League under Joss Whedon.
