The Flashhad Ben Affleck reprising his role as the Caped Crusader once again, although potentially for the last time.

To date it has garnered multiple controversies and hate for something or the other, making it one of the most controversial-afflicted films.
While the film has been somewhat performing well on streaming platforms, fans once again have found something to hate about the film and this time is something to do with Ben Affleck’s Batman.

Just 15 minutes into the film we witness Batman fighting off some bad guys and falling off a bridge, and Wonder Woman comes to their rescue. Just as Bruce Wayne and the guy are about to fall off, Diana Prince throws down her legendary ‘Lasso of Truth’ and drags them up to safety. As Wonder Woman turns to Batman and tells him.
“And you are welcome.”
While Batman has been acting all sheepish with the Lasso on his hand, he replies,
“My ego is far too big to say thank you to someone. I developed this all-powerful persona to compensate for my childhood trauma”
And just prior to this scene, Batman acts all sheepish as he mutters a‘Hey’to Wonder Woman with a huge smile on his face. These scenes have been interpreted asBen Affleckportraying both theJosstice League(aka Joss Whedon’s Justice League) version of Batman. While others called him out for playing bothZack Snyder’s Justice LeagueandJosstice League’sBatman.

Fans’ Reaction To Ben Affleck’s Batman InThe Flash
While mostly there have been light-hearted funny reactions from the fans regarding Ben Affleck portraying bothZack Snyder‘s Batman andJosstice LeagueBatman, there have been a certain group of fans giving him a hard time. They have been calling the scene cringe and insane. This is how some of them reacted,
While the movie is a hot mess, I did find it at least entertaining. However, that bridge scene made me literally cringe. I’m surprised Affleck even agreed to do it. It’s really bad in just about every way possible.

My thoughts exactly. I almost even got misty eyed at the second photo.

100%! The movie felt butchered to match the tone of Josstice League 🤦♂️

Agreed 100% It was cool seeing Gal and Ben reprise their roles, but the change in characters was so different it felt jarring and pretty much ruined the movie for me, the whole opening act was garbage, I actually didn’t mind the middle of the movie, then the ending sucked!
— Andrew J Wooster (@ajwooster)July 09, 2025
Totally agreed. This is one of major reasons for ne to hate this movie.

While Ben Affleck considers the scene his best piece of acting as Batman, fans think otherwise. Nonetheless, seems likeThe Flash‘drama’ is a never-ending saga.
