Ben Affleck is suiting back up as Batman for The Flash; however, his role may be smaller than anticipated.When Affleck first played Batman in Batman v Superman, fans were excited to see his take on the iconic hero. However, Batfleck would not last long. After 2017's Justice League, Affleck stepped down from the role and the planned standalone Batman film, seemingly ending his tenure as the Caped Crusader. Fans were thrilled when it was revealed the actor would be back in the role for The Flash, but a new rumor suggests his role is merely a cameo.RELATED: Fans Call on the New Warner Bros. Discovery to #MakeTheBatfleckMovie

Blogger KC Walsh tweeted on Wednesday that fans shouldn't expect too much of Affleck in The Flash, explaining that the actor only filmed for approximately a week. If true, this would indicate Affleck's return as Batman is only as an extended cameo.

This comes on the heels of fans calling for Warner Bros. and DC to #MakeTheBatfleckMovie, the second attempt fans have made at trying to get an Affleck Batman movie made. A fan campaign was initially launched back in April, before the AT&T and WarnerMedia merger in May.

Affleck did return for some additional photography for Zack Snyder's Justice League, which aired on HBO Max earlier this year. He also returned to film scenes for The Flash, alongside former Batman Michael Keaton. As The Flash producer Barbara Muschietti previously explained, "Right now he’s in a place where he can actually enjoy being Batman. It's a pivotal role, but at the same time it's a fun part."

As it stands, The Flash is set to mark Affleck's last turn as Batman. Chances of Affleck's Batman joining his former Justice League co-star Ezra Miller for more than a few minutes, however, seem slim.

The Flash is directed by Andy Muschietti and stars Ezra Miller as the titular hero. The film is expected to dash into theaters on Nov. 4, 2022.
