A new set of The Flash movie Batman leaks has seemingly confirmed the appearance of Ben Affleck’s DCEU version of the Dark Knight, last seen together with Ezra Miller’s Flash in this year’s Zack Snyder’s Justice League. It’s long been reported that The Flash movie would supposedly have both Ben Affleck’s and Michael Keaton’s Batmans, but up until now all the leaks and official pictures have only shown Batman 1989 and his Batmobile.
What do The Flash movie Batman leaks show?
It was confirmed last year that The Flash movie would have both Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton returning as Batman, but after that point, all the various set photos have shown every other person in the movie — including Sasha Calle’s new movie Supergirl in full costume — but not Ben Affleck’s Batman. For example, director Andy Muschietti teased Flash, Supergirl, and Michael Keaton’s Batman, but not Ben Affleck’s. Now, thanks to some leaked set photos, the DCEU Batman has been confirmed — complete with a sleek new Bat-bike.

There’s even a video of the new bike in action on the streets of Glasgow, which is doubling for either Gotham City or Central City. It may not be Ben Affleck himself in the costume as it’s likely a stunt person, but the outfit looks a lot like the tactical Batsuit seen at the end of Justice League. Hopefully Andy Muschietti will release a tease soon.
We were hoping to see the Batmobile when we first learned about the chase scene, but the Batcycle is a pleasant surprise! #TheFlash #TheFlashMovie

Elsewhere in DC Comics movies, The Suicide Squad is out this week with the mind-controlling alien starfish Starro as the main villain and a planned HBO Max spin-off series in the works for next year based on John Cena’s Peacemaker. Speaking of Supergirl, there is concern amongst fans that her movie may be a mid-budget streaming exclusive feature alongside Batgirl and Blue Beetle. And as for Batman, there’s the new movie coming next year with Robert Pattinson featuring The Riddler as the main villain.
