There is a meta-human crisis on planet earth and Barry Allen aka ‘The Flash’ is transported to another timeline to save his mother. Finally, the Scarlet Speedster will be seen in a stand-alone film. Since the past few months, DCEU has been in constant flux due to new leadership and the revamping. David Zaslav has taken over the role of CEO after the Discovery and Warner Bros. merger. After Peter Safran and James Gunn became the CEOs of DC Studios, they released a new slate for DCEU projects.
DC Studios ‘The Flash’ has already gone through a gamut of troubles. It was primarily due to the legal troubles that the protagonist Ezra Miller went through. They have had many criminal charges and allegations in the year 2022. They were also accused of grooming a trans-activist and hitting a woman in Hawaii. However, after a long wait, it will finally be released in June 2023. There are many twos in the film, and one of the Batmen is none other than Michael Keaton!

Michael Keaton Will Be Seen As Batman After 30 Years With ‘The Flash’
The DCEU is looking promising with its impressive slate! Though there have been some sacking like that of Henry Cavill, the future of the DC Extended Universe looks promising. The second theatrical release after ‘Shazam! The Fury of Gods’ will be Andrés Muschietti’s ‘The Flash’.
The story will take place with Barry Allen going to a different timeline to save his mother’s life. While doing so, he gets trapped in a dimension which threatens the lives of humans on earth with the return of General Zod.
The film will see the debut of Kara Danvers aka Super Girl, a new era for the Superman franchise. There are duos in the film due to the changed timeline. So, we will see two Barry Allens and two Batmen. In 2022, Robert Pattinson sketched Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman’.
Now, Ben Affleck will be featured in the new film. He first appeared in ‘Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice’ in 2016. But, there is another actor who will be reprising Batman’s role. Michael Keaton will wear the cape again after 30 years. He was last seen in 1992’s ‘Batman Returns’.

Ezra Miller was last seen portraying Barry Allen in ‘The Flash’ in 2016’s ‘Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice’. There were plans to have a stand-alone film for the character. It went on floors in 2021, but in 2022 the film was affected heavily due to Ezra’s controversies.
They were arrested in Hawaii in March twice. One for ‘disorderly conduct and harassment’ and another for ‘second-degree assault’. The film was tainted and there were widespread reports of replacing him. However, now after the trailer, we will see Miller sketch the character. Despite heavy criticism, audiences and fans are excited to see the film just for Keaton’s Batman.
It’s SO COOL seeing Michael Keaton’s Batman do things that weren’t possible when he played the character 30 years ago. #TheFlash pic.twitter.com/EAE0hV8Emq

The Ezra Miller of it all is so problematic. And I don’t even know what to say about that anymore. But wow. It’s so wild to see Michael Keaton as Batman again. pic.twitter.com/OV94gYbJVJ
