Affleck’s Batman is Barry Allen’s rational voice in the first act. speedwarns him of the consequences of using his ability to time travel and calls on him to help save the city once again.

Batman And Batman is back. Well, Nolan’s version of The Dark Knight won’t match the Dark Knight’s tune. speed Regardless, his guests will feel uncomfortable.
Another major reason Nolan’s Dark Knight wasn’t included speedThe multiverse is due to the expectations it will create. By having Barry land in a different timeline from another Bruce Wayne at the end of the film, speed In fact, this is the final appearance of Ben Affleck’s Batman, and with Keaton’s Batman having been killed in the final battle, there should be no further discussion about their future. batman and robinbut that is unlikely to pique interest in his return, but the same cannot be said for Bale’s version.
Bale’s Batman in speedeven if it’s brief, will look forward to the 4th the dark Knight The studio most likely won’t commit to shooting the movie.
