‘You wanna get nuts? Let’s get nuts,’ the actor says as an aging but still tough Bruce Wayne/Batman in a trailer for The Flash.
Michael is reprising the role some three decades after he last appeared as the caped crusader.
Stepping back into the character was emotional for the versatile star, according to The Flash director Andy Muschietti.
‘When he arrived to the set, the Batcave was already finished and it was lit and everything,’ the director told Variety.
‘He stayed like this [eyes wide] for a while. I didn’t want to interrupt him. I just wanted for him to take it in. Who knows what was going on there? But something was going on there.’

The proud grandpa even asked the director to take a photo of him in the bat suit for River.
‘It was funny because at one point during the scene where we shot him in the full suit, he was like, “Can you take a picture? It’s for my grandson,” Muschietti said.
‘It was one of those moments where he really showed something was inside that was very emotional.’
Ben Affleck, 50, will also appear as Batman/Bruce Wayne in this epic adventure that crosses the multiverse.
‘I did finally figure out how to play that character [Batman], and I nailed it in The Flash’ the Oscar winner told The Hollywood Reporter.
‘For the five minutes I’m there, it’s really great. A lot of it’s just tone. You’ve got to figure out, what’s your version of the person? Who is the guy that fits what you can do?’
