The Flash will see Ben Affleck reprise his role as The Caped Crusader, and it will also see Michael Keaton’s iteration of The Dark Knight return. It’s highly likely that the film will, like No Way Home, deal with the concept of a Multiverse.
Hence, Smith urged DC to take a leaf out of Marvel’s book and bring Bale into the film as well:
If they want to do a No Way Home, though, they better bring in Christian Bale as well, though,” Smith added. “If I’m them, I’m backing a money truck up to Christian Bale’s just begging to get him for two minutes so we can have our own No Way Home.
Spider-Man: No Way Home delighted fans by uniting Tom Holland’s Spidey with previous incarnations of the character, as portrayed by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. Smith is clearly hoping DC fans can have a similar moment of experiencing multiple Batmen on the screen at the same time.
However, given that The Flash is now in post-production, the chances of a Christian Bale cameo are very unlikely. Directed by Andy Muschietti, The Flash will be released on 4 November.
