The Batman on the right makes me so angry! Look at Ben, just standing casually in broad daylight in a terrible costume with the facial expression of a quip artist. Just awful.

For his role as Batman, Michael Keaton was asked to reprise his role. As per the veteran actor. the script was too tough for him and thus, he had to read the whole script thrice to understand the complex storyline ofThe Flashas revealed byThe Hollywood Reporter.
“I had to read it more than three times to go, ‘Wait, how does this work?’ They had to explain that to me several times. By the way, I’m not being arrogant, I hope, about this. I don’t say it like, ‘I’m too groovy.’ I’m stupid. There’s a lot of things I don’t know about. And so, I don’t know, I just kind of figured it out, but this was different.”
Well, whatever the case may be,The Flash,starring Ezra Miller and Michael Keaton received a rating of 6.7/10 on IMDB and an average of 63% on Rotten Tomatoes. The 2023 film is available to stream on Max in the U.S.
