Up until now, it was all but confirmed that The Flash will be Ben Affleck’s last appearance as Batman, but a new leak claims to reveal how he could return following the film.
Insider KC Walsh recently had this to share about the upcoming DCEU pic:
The movie isn’t, it sets one up at the end, this is the Batfleck scene that people are referencing, it sets up Crisis https://t.co/eg3wkBHYcM

I’m not going to spoil it but it involves Batman https://t.co/3Ni4KsbjlE

It sounds like it’s referenced but not explicit, I.e Iris remembers Barry and Batman and Barry discuss him having traveled through time before, there are no direct references, no Knightmare universe, nothing specific outside of those discussions https://t.co/nvgnJ3BRdy

Batfleck is still very much done with DCEU, but leaving the door open for him to come back during a crisis event if he wants makes sense, but I’ll take the L https://t.co/2eTBerj9hK

So, it sounds like Big Ben may be done with the DCEU for now, but if he ever wants to return one day, The Flash has included a little tease for how it could happen, and it involves the Crisis on Infinite Earths event.
