Warning: Major spoilers for The Flash.
speed Shows different parts of the DC multiverse in the final act, but leaves out one of the most famous and successful Batman versions: Christopher Nolan’s the dark Knight trilogy of works. Following the DCEU’s failure, the DC multiverse is undergoing a restructuring to make room for the DC universe, and director Andy Muschietti has helped with that transition. speed.Although still part of the DCEU, the adventures of Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) speed It will be key to transitioning to the DC universe and understanding how the new DC multiverse works.
speed The audience is reunited with Barry Allen, who discovers that he can use his powers to travel back in time. Barry decides to use them to go back in time and save his mother, and despite his success, he doesn’t go back to his own timeline but instead lands in a place where no super, superman exists. Humans have never been to Earth and Bruce Wayne also looks very different. Barry’s superpowers also allow him (and audiences) to get a glimpse of the multiverse, including cameos from previous versions of Batman and Superman, including the Iron Man version. never appeared. However, there is a notable absence speedMultiverse Ending: Nolan’s Version of Batman
The Flash appears in almost every Batman movie era
Glimpse of the Multiverse speed It was overwhelming, both for Barry Allen and the audience, as most of the episodes were fast-paced and mostly a CGI version with no dialogue for the characters. speed Contains two versions of Batman: Ben Affleck from the DCEU and Michael Keaton from Tim Burton Batman And Batman is back!. Affleck’s Batman is Barry Allen’s rational voice in the first act. speedwarns him of the consequences of using his ability to time travel and calls on him to help save the city once again.
On the other hand, Michael Keaton served as a mentor to Barry and his 2013 version. Keaton’s Bruce Wayne explained the multiverse to the Barrys and returned to help them rescue Kara Zor-El, restore Barry’s powers, and confront Zod and his men. In the third act of the film, Barry watches as the multiverse begins to collapse on its own, revealing alternate timelines, thus revealing variations on DC’s greatest heroes: Batman and Batman. Superman. speed With a cameo from Adam West, it was Batman’s first time on the big screen, and eventually came as George Clooney’s surprise cameo in Joel Schumacher’s Caped Crusader batman and robin.
However, speed Does not include all of Batman’s big screen releases. The latest version of the warrior in the cap is Matt Reeves’ version of Robert Pattinson Batmanlives in a universe different from the DCEU, even though it should theoretically be part of a multiverse. Val Kilmer’s version of Schumacher batman forever doesn’t appear either, which seems strange speed Versions of Keaton, Kilmer, and Clooney are distinguished. The most absentee is Christopher Nolan’s Batman by Christian Bale the dark Knight In the trilogy, he is completely absent and there is no mention of his universe, even though he is one of the best Batman versions to date.
Why Nolan’s Dark Knight Doesn’t Appear in The Flash
speed Introduces the most famous versions of Superman in its multiverse scenarios, including the one that almost happened but never happened (Nicolas Cage’s Superman), but when it comes to the multiverse tower of Batman, it missed the most successful Version. While it’s odd not to see Bale’s version of Batman, it makes sense that Nolan’s universe wasn’t acknowledged in The Batman. speed.Nolan’s the dark Knight The trilogy stands out for its darker and more realistic tones, especially compared to Schumacher’s fake version of the Batman movies and Burton’s dark but still comic style. Batman And Batman is back. Well, Nolan’s version of The Dark Knight won’t match the Dark Knight’s tune. speed Regardless, his guests will feel uncomfortable.
Another major reason Nolan’s Dark Knight wasn’t included speedThe multiverse is due to the expectations it will create. By having Barry land in a different timeline from another Bruce Wayne at the end of the film, speed In fact, this is the final appearance of Ben Affleck’s Batman, and with Keaton’s Batman having been killed in the final battle, there should be no further discussion about their future. batman and robinbut that is unlikely to pique interest in his return, but the same cannot be said for Bale’s version.
Bale’s Batman in speedeven if it’s brief, will look forward to the 4th the dark Knight The studio most likely won’t commit to shooting the movie. Nolan’s “Dark Knight” trilogy gives Bruce Wayne/Bale’s Batman a perfect ending by playing dead and living a normal life with Selina Kyle far away from Gotham, but it also makes Robin Bruce with a package for John. Blake takes him to the Batcave. Dark Knight 4 does not occur and appears in speed would create false hope that he and Bale will return as Batman at some point in the current DC multiverse.
Even The Flash knows Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy is untouchable
As interesting as watching Bale’s Batman or referencing Nolan’s Batman the dark Knight trio in speedThe production team made the wise decision not to include them. Will not only make the dark Knight part of a trio speedThe multiverse creates unattainable expectations, but messing with Nolan’s version of the Batman universe could land Warners in a lot of trouble.
Nolan’s film quality, tone and story the dark Knight The trilogy makes it the best adaptation of Batman, Gotham City and its citizens in the history of the Caped Crusader, making it unshakable. The team behind speed There’s definitely this one, and it’s obviously messed with the dark Knight A trilogy will pose problems the studio can’t handle, and ultimately, it’s not worth it just for the nostalgia. to the end, speed Good job leaving the company by Christopher Nolan the dark Knight Christian Bale’s trilogy and Batman are outside the multiverse and don’t need to merge at any point.
