Ever since it was announced that upcoming DC Universe film The Flash (2023) would feature more than one version of Bruce Wayne/Batman, fans have been wondering whether the film will be the Dark Knight’s answer to Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021).

And when the first trailer premiered online a couple of months ago, it seemed as though the film really is shaping up to be exactly what we’re hoping for, as it revealed two versions of the caped crusader, one in Ben Affleck’s version from Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), Suicide Squad (2016), and Justice League (2021), and the other being Michael Keaton’s version from Tim Burton’s Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992).
Since then, fans have been wondering what other past-versions of Batman will show up in the film, including Christian Bale’s Dark Knight. But unfortunately, it would appear that The Flash won’t necessarily be DC’s version of No Way Home, as Ben Affleck recently revealed that he doesn’t have that much screentime in the film.

And whether or not we’ll get to see any other version of Batman show up remains to be seen. It’s worth remembering, though, that this is a solo Flash movie first, and one that’s also designed — as revealed by new DC Studios’ co-CEO James Gunn earlier this year — to “reset” the DC Universe, thus starting a new continuity titled “Chapter One: Gods and Monsters”.
But either way, a new “TV spot” for The Flash finally unmasks one of its versions of Batman. While this is fan-made, it’s still great to see the Dark Knight in question without his cowl! Check it out below:

While we already saw the “Batfleck” unmasked in the first trailer, it’s great to finally see Michael Keaton without the cowl. We knew it was him in that original trailer, of course, but it’s nice to get an idea of what it’s like to see Keaton’s Bruce Wayne and Batman sharing the screentime!
Now check out the official trailer for The Flash below:
