The Flash: Ben Affleck’s The Dark Knight seen on motorcycle on set of DC Film
A video clip of someone resembling The Snyderverse Ben Affleck depiction of Batman on the set of The Flash riding a Batcycle has broken the Internet.
Ever since The Flash began principal photography in Leavesden, England, the UK at one of Warner Bros. Studios in April of this year, the WB and DC Films have been subject to numerous leaks on the set of motion pictures DC’s favorite Scarlet Speedster. Most fans privy to the recent plans happening behind the back lot of the Burbank, CA-based media complex are aware of multiple Batmen – one of them spotted apparently – was one played Ben Affleck.
As revealed by Comicbook.com, a Batman that very much appears to be the Batfleck version of the character was seen riding on a Batcycle within the status of Glasgow, UK, which is supposed to double as Gotham City in a video post on Twitter. The tweet from the poster was labeled as follows:
"“Meanwhile, #TheFlash movie’s filming is at full steam in #Glasgow, and many locals are registering what seems to be #BatAffleck’s #Batman going for a ride in #GothamCity in #TheFlashMovie – while real #BenAffleck’s in a ride with #JLo somewhere else haha.”"
Is Ben Affleck going to be in The Flash movie?
While fans speculated this is the Batfleck version of the Caped Crusader on the Batcycle – which to be fair – there is some evidence to suggest this due to the Batsuit design and the vehicle sharing many of the aesthetics and elements to The Snyderverse, the reputation nonetheless is that the rider of the Batcycle is actually a stunt double, presumably for Affleck.
