THE FLASH: Ben Affleck Spoils A Major Scene Involving His Batman And Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman

Ben Affleck has shared details of a major scene in The Flash involving his take on Batman and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, which may or may not feature in the theatrical cut of the movie...

Ben Affleck will reprise the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman for what will likely be his final time in The Flash, and the actor has once again spoken about suiting-up as The Dark Knight and doing what he considers to be his "best work" as the iconic DC hero.

Affleck readily admits that the sequence he outlines is a bit spoilery, so be warned!

During an appearance on the Smartless podcast, the Air star praised the film and reiterated that he feels this is "the best shit he's done" as the Caped Crusader.

"I don’t wanna give a spoiler, but it was a scene where I get caught, I get saved by Wonder Woman during a conflagration with some bad guys," he said. "And she saves me by– I mean, I’m sure the spoiler, DC assassins are gonna get me, but […] she saves me with the Lasso of Truth. And so what happens is that Batman divulges some of his real feelings about his life and his work... I was like, 'Wait a minute, I got it!'"

Could Affleck be having second thoughts about leaving Batman behind?

Last we heard, both Gal Gadot and Henry Cavill's cameos were cut from The Flash, so unless things have changed, there's a good chance this scene won't even appear in the finished film.

"Directed by Andy Muschietti, The Flash features Barry Allen traveling back in time in order to change events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to help. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian…albeit not the one he’s looking for.

Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?"

The Flash is produced by Barbara Muschietti and Michael Disco, with a screenplay by Christina Hodson, an a screen story by John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein and Joby Harold, based on characters from DC. Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Double Dream/a Disco Factory production of an Andy Muschietti film.

The Flash will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures and is set to open in theaters in North America on June 16, 2023 and internationally beginning 14 June 2023.

I very much enjoyed Affleck's Batman/Bruce Wayne. No problem saying so.

@MosquitoFarmer - that warehouse scene in BVS is still my favorite hand to hand batman fight in live action form.

@Ryos - it’s the best scene in all the Snyderverse

@ShamusG - The Smallville fight was sick too. A dream come true for every DBZ fan.

@Ryos - It's basically Arkham City come to life. You know that area, right by the church, where there's like, 20 thugs congregating, you glide right into the middle of them and you can easily get a 70+ or more combo. That's the warehouse scene. That's how awesome it is.

@Spawnnn - I still preach Snyder as being the only director that could probably pull off a live action DBZ film to this day. Just give him a decent writer and he's not a half bad filmmaker.

@MosquitoFarmer - You know the saying 'Never speak ill of the dead"? I'm really beginning to understand it in regards to comic book movies.

I loved Ben Affleck as Batman. And George Clooney was hands down the best Bruce Wayne.

Those movies and franchises are now dead. And in their death I find my love for them. Affleck did a fine job as both Bruce Wayne and Batman.

@Ryos - I have to say, the scene of him as Bruce Wayne running into the debris and saving that little girl and he stares up into the sky with all the rage in his eyes. To me THAT was Batman.

@Mosquitofarmer - He was the best live action Bats and Bruce IMO. How I wish he had better material to work with.

@JonAwesome - the only thing I thought could be better in that scene was if he did a more acrobatic jump roll to save the girl. That would be awesome, like, he's BATS. But yeah, cool scene.

@MosquitoFarmer - movst of BvS is actually very good. It was just too crammed, too long and too soon.

@MosquitoFarmer - I dont think anyone dislikes Affleck's Batman in BvS and ZSJL.

@thewanderer - I dont think we will, if The Flash is a massive hit, they are keeping Ezra, he is the youngest of the group.

I really hope we get a Batman/Wonder Woman romance in the DCU like we got in Justice League/Justice League Unlimited

@KaptainKhaos - as long as there is no Bruce Wayne/Lois Lane fanfiction that made him the babydaddy and Superman a cuckhold
ObserverIO

@KaptainKhaos - Maybe they'll do that Tom King story where they both get trapped in an alternate battle dimension for hundreds of years together. You can't tell me they didn't get to know each other intimately while they were there.

@JFerguson - snyder plans right there. We dodged a bullet, in the end.

Both Gal Gadot and Ben affleck were miscast in the DCEU. It is time to put that era to bed. Hopefully when the studio is sold next year they will bring back the only inspired casting which was Henry Cavill as Superman.

@Forthas - nah, I liked Affleck. Him and Cavill were great IMO.

Gonna miss him as Batman, but I'm glad he's happy with what time he got in this one.

I actually am gonna miss Ben as Batman. The material he was given was poor and the Batsuit was always ill-fitting in my opinion, but there was always a sense that he had potential to do the character justice if given the right circumstance.

Glad he decided to return for these final few DCEU movies just to round off his run as the character.

"That movie is really good and it's my best shit I've done as Batman"

Wouldn't we all really like to See Gadot go full krav maga and beat the living sh!t out of Affleck?
