THE FLASH Hot Toys Figure Offers Best Look Yet At Ben Affleck's New Batman Costume And Batcycle

A new Hot Toys figure for The Flash reveals our best look yet at the Batsuit which Ben Affleck is going to don in what will likely be his last time playing the DCEU's Caped Crusader. Check it out here...

For a time, it looked like Ben Affleck was well and truly finished playing the DCEU's Dark Knight. The actor had been set to take the helm of The Batman, a movie which was set to pit Bruce Wayne against Deathstroke; unfortunately, Joss Whedon's Justice League soured Affleck on the role. 

Fortunately, he was convinced to return to shoot a handful of additional scenes for Zack Snyder's Justice League, with that seemingly opening the door to The Flash and a cameo role in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (with the eventual plan being to put "Batfleck" front and centre in Crisis on Infinite Earths).

Affleck has since made his lack of interest in working with DC Studios and James Gunn clear, and we expect The Flash to be the last time we see him don the cape and cowl. Now, our best look yet at his latest Batsuit - and Batcycle - has been revealed courtesy of a new Hot Toys action figure. 

Is this the greatest design we've seen on screen? That's largely subjective, but it's a striking take...which is only expected to have a few minutes of screentime! We'd argue that it's a little busy, though the armour makes the hero look suitably formidable. 

Take a closer look at Affleck's Caped Crusader below.

Worlds collide in The Flash when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the 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 turn to.

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 movie stars Ezra Miller, Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon, Ron Livingston, Maribel Verdu, Kiersey Clemons, Antje Traue, and Michael Keaton.

The Flash races into theaters on June 16.

Hilariously bad headsculpt (clearly they had no rights to use Affleck's likeness) and suit design as well.

Every time Affleck says he's done with Batman...

Is that extra armor over his already bulky costume?

BvS perfected the suit and they refuse to use it again.

@kazuma - Infuriates me to no end. That suit was perfect.

@Steel86 - Legit my biggest gripe with the current era of comic book movies. They constantly feel the need to change suits every movie. Like, make a good and keep using it.

@kazuma - Toys.

@kazuma - His main suit in BvS was the best live-action suit so far, IMHO of course.

@RolandD - True but there is a very easy solution to that. Batman in particular has no powers as an superhero. He wears alot of specialty suites and that can easily be what they do in the movies. One standard then add ons instead of new suites every movie. Shoot he had 3 different looks alone in BVS.

The design could've been better. The JL cowl just sucks in comparison to the BVS one, and those hexagons just look ugly.

Why does his mouth look like Napoleon Dynamite’s in that sculpt with the teeth?

Terrible suit design.

Thank God they are rebooting. I just hope they will go comic accurate and stay that way.
The closest we got was the Batman suit from BvS, but the rest of that movie was tripe:

Hopefully, as Pattinson continues to go from a figure of vengeance to a figure of hope, we might get the ol' grey and blue color scheme down the road.

Who's likeness did they use, cause that is not Ben Affleck, even when he was puffier during the Justice League reshoots.

That is one UGLY suit !

WTF?! Ben Affleck must not have given any rights to any of these figures. This plus the Mcfarlane figures look nothing like him. Why even make them?!

Ahem ...

"OVER-Designed."

Too busy when this was perfection, even if the movie wasn’t.

@RolandD - Only annoying thing about this one is Snyder's weird obsession with Big Bulky Boiz. Batman is far too thicc here, for a character who's supposed to move and leap about it doesn't make sense.

100% best Batman live action suit otherwise.

@RolandD

I’ll do you one better:

@SeanMPC - I can’t argue with that but I like the suit.
RolandD
RolandD - 6/1/2023, 3:15 PM
@regularmovieguy - I like the way it looks and it is closer to the Batman I grew up with but it makes more sense to go with black, blending in with the shadows, maybe looking a bit more intimidating.
