Leaked photos from The Flash reveal Ben Affleck will suit up as Batman in the film.
Although Ben Affleck himself isn’t in the pictures, it’s his version of the Dark Knight.
The images confirm my scoop on Syl Abdul’s Geekosity Live! YouTube show from June 22.
I broke that Ben Affleck will wear the Batman outfit in the movie.
A recent online rumor said that Ben Affleck will only appear as Bruce Wayne in The Flash.
That is inaccurate.
The pictures unveil Ben Affleck’s Batman upgraded suit.
There are also shots of his new Batcycle in a chase scene (See below).

Some have speculated this is from the opening of the movie.
However, insiders explained it’s from the latter half of The Flash.
Initially, on March 26, I leaked that Ben Affleck’s Batman would perish in The Flash.
That death was an integral part of the current WarnerMedia regime to kill the Snyderverse.
In other words, Ben Affleck’s ultimate sacrifice would erase Zack Snyder’s DC movies from canon.
However, sources later revealed that was changed. That’s no shock as The Flash underwent directorial and screenwriting shifts.
On July 19, I learned that The Flash‘s villain would make an attempt on the life of Ben Affleck’s Batman.
That Flash foe is none other than the Flash himself from Michael Keaton’s universe.
Insiders I know continue to claim that Ben Affleck does live at the end of the film.

Nevertheless, other outlets claim the opposite, echoing my original piece from March 26. (Of course, they never give credit.)
As excited as the fans are to see Keaton and Ben Affleck again as their portrayals of Batman, concerns rise to the surface.
WarnerMedia’s public divorce from the Snyderverse sounded cold and offensive.
Could The Flash be the final nail in the coffin?
I heard that The Flash is not a funeral for the Snyderverse; moreover, it’s a celebration of DC past and present.
The movie will pay homage to everything from Greg Berlanti’s DC TV offerings to Christopher Reeve’s Superman films.
There are going to be notable cameos and Easter Eggs.
Could The Flash unite a polarized DC fandom or pull it apart even further?
Time will tell if The Flash is a movie DC followers will speed to or run away from.
