Christian Bale Batman (The Dark Knight) will appear in The Flash (2023)? Huh, is that right? How do you mean?
Before I start the discussion, I just want to remind you that this whole discussion is just a fan theory aka my opinion. So don’t believe it 100% right away, okay?

Keaton Makes You Forget Everything
Surely many of us have watched the latest trailer for The Flash DCEU movie. Well in the latest trailerTrailer adalah cuplikan singkat dari sebuah film yang dirilis sebagai promosi sebelum film tersebut tayang... More we see the appearance of 2 Batman. The first DCEU Batman, Ben Affleck. Secondly the first modern Batman who for me remains the best Batman actor of all time, Michael Keaton.
When we see their performances, especially Keaton’s, we can’t help but be moved, happy, and nostalgic. I immediately screamed as loud as possible when I saw the scene. Luckily the neighbors didn’t bang on the door.
I was so excited that I forgot other small scenes that actually also provide mysteries/teases that are no less important. Well two of the scenes shown but have important teases are, Batman riding his motorcycle or Bat-cycle.
Christian Bale’s Batman to appear in The Flash?
Now at first glance when looking at it, we assume that the Batman riding the motorcycle is Affleck or Keaton.
But for some reason when I go back and analyze everything again, I think that one or even both of these scenes were not done by these two. Rather, one or both of them were done by Christian Bale’s Batman.
The question immediately arises, does Christian Bale’s Batman appear in The Flash?
Based on Screenshot 2 of the Motorcycle Ride Scene
You might be asking. Why do I have this opinion? There are two reasons. First and simplest, take a look at the two scenes featuring Batman riding a motorcycle in the trailerTrailer adalah cuplikan singkat dari sebuah film yang dirilis sebagai promosi sebelum film tersebut tayang... More.
Okay maybe the first scene we can say it’s Affleck. Because we see the shape of the ears of his costume. The ear shape of the costume does look like it belongs to Bat-fleck.
But take a look at the second scene at 1:54, which shows Batman and his Bat-Cycle from a distance. It’s not clearly visible. But somehow I’m sure that if not Keaton’s Batman, then Bale’s.
Okay maybe for this first argument it’s still not too strong. But there is a second argument that can strengthen my theory regarding Christian Bale’s Batman appearing in The Flash.
Only 2 Live-Action Batmans Ride a Batcycle
That’s right. If you may remember, in all the modern live-action Batman adaptations (Keaton-Pattinson), there have only been 2 Batmans riding Batcycles.
The first is Bale’s Batman in The Dark Knight where the motorcycle is called the Batpod. Second is Robert Pattinson’s Batman aka Battinson in the movie The Batman (2022).
Now this fact is coupled with the appearance of the motorcycle design in the second trailerTrailer adalah cuplikan singkat dari sebuah film yang dirilis sebagai promosi sebelum film tersebut tayang... More scene which looks exactly like the Batpod design. Indeed, it could be that the appearance of the design is a form of homage (homage). But it could also be Bale riding.
Or this could be the scenario. The one riding the Batcycle is Batfleck or Keaton. Well Batman Bale came but he could have died at the beginning. Then in his honor Batman Keaton or Affleck rides his Batpod.
It’s up to you if you think these possible scenarios seem far-fetched. But yes, once again everything is: FAN THEORY.
So for sure, let’s just wait until The Flash airs on June 16, 2023, okay?
