Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton confirmed to be playing Batman in The Flash Movie - What does this mean for The DCEU?

So I just watched The Rhythm Section but it was pretty dull so I wanted to talk about something that is actually interesting and really crazy. I mean the rumour of Michael Keaton reprising the role as Batman for The Flash Movie has now been confirmed by the films director, but in even more crazy news is that after reading the script Ben Affleck has agreed to play Batman too in this film and I was wondering what this news means for not only this film but future DC films. 

This film will embrace the multiverse

We have seen in The Flash TV Show how fun it can be to embrace the multiverse and see different characters in different lives and jobs and this film will do it too. With two actors playing Batman it is clear they will come from different worlds and that can bring some fun interactions and possibly lead to more of this in future projects. 

The Flash and Batman get to continue there development 

I know Justice League got some well deserved criticism but one thing I really enjoyed was the mentor relationship between Affleck's Batman and Ezra Miller's Flash and I am glad to see that continue and really progress in this film and maybe even before. 

Will we see more of Ben Affleck in the DCEU

For a few years now we have heard that Ben Affleck was done with the character of Batman, but it is encouraging that he agreed to take this role after reading the script. It could mean that if the scripts are still good then Affleck might be up for playing the character for longer times ahead. 

Could this lead to a crossover between the film and TV universe

Recently during The Crisis On Infinite Earths Crossover we saw Ezra Millers Flash and Grant Gustins Flash meet up in The Speed Force, proving that these two exist in the same multiverse which means that as slim as it is who knows maybe we will see more of these types of crossovers in the future. 

Overall

Overall, this is exciting news and also has me more interested in The Flash movie. I am excited to see Affleck and Keaton back as Batman and wonder what their future could be in the universe.
