After the trailer of 'The Flash' was released in the Super Bowl, it became the most influential movie trailer during the Super Bowl. WB also began to seize the opportunity and started some very "illogical" promotions. For example, there have been rumors recently that Batman of all ages will appear in ‘The Flash’. Is it going to be real?
In addition to Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck who are confirmed to appear in the movie, rumors say that Christian Bale, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, and even Adam West's version of Batman will all appear!?
While some of those actors never made it back in reality, like Val Kilmer, who has been battling a throat cancer diagnosis since 2015, and Adam West, who died in 2017.

As such, their Batman cameos will likely use footage or voiceovers from their past appearances in the role, giving them time to shine in a new batch of heroes. But if they do appear in the new movie, he'll be emotionally bombarded with classic moments from the past while the story explores alternate futures and realities.
But for someone as recent as Christian Bale to take on the role, the odds are probably highest, especially since Bale is still in superhero movie form after appearing in ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ (2022). He also has the top-rated Batman movie, which would make him one of the favorites to return to the DCU, and fans will surely be delighted to see him in the dark knight uniform again.
DC Studio co-CEO James Gunn pointed out on social media that the new Batman will be played by a younger actor in the future.
‘The Flash’ will premiere in theaters on June 16.
