Christian Bale's rejected The Flash cameo rumor clarified by further comments
We wouldn't have blamed him

UPDATE: Those Christian Bale cameo rumors about The Flash have been ꦕclarified in some further comments.
A viral clip from Kevin Smith on his podcast Fat Man Beyond suggested that Bale had reportedly refused to cameo as Batman in The Flash. "I'm sure [Warner Bros.] wa𒀰s asking Christian Bale fo⛦r months and months hoping he would break down and he was like 'no,'" he says in a clip. "So [Warner Bros.] was like, 'let's pivot, let's get another Batman,' and they just grabbed George Clooney."
. "It was just conjecture, not inside information."You can see the fu🌸ll discussion in his podcast on . You can hear them talkin🌞g about it at around the 44:50 mark.
What’s missing from♑ this Fat Man Beyond clip is when I said “I think there’s a world” and “It feels like”. It was just conjecture, not inside information.Here’s an act﷽ually credible @THR article by @Borys_Kit about how that cameo was shot 6 months ago: //t.co/Ox72UJ6LXJ //t.co/yYFX9l01Gf
The movie predominantly features Michael Keaton's Batman (which we still think♛ is so very awesome), Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne, and includes a cameo from another Batman, George Clooney, at the very end. After Barry Allen single-handedly destroys the time-space continuum (albeit wiꦉth good intentions), he seemingly puts everything back together... or so we think.
At the very end of the ꦆfilm, Bruce Wayne comes to visit Barry. But instead of Affleck, Clooney appears, and Barry is baff♚led. Originally, had suggested that the plan was for Bale to walk out of the car at the end – not Clooney.
It's unclear why Bale, who played the caped crusader in three films didn't reprise the role – but we don't blame him. "If Chris [Nolan] came to me and said, 'I've got a new story,' I'd be interested. But other than that, I don't think so," the actor previously told His most recent superhero venture was playing Gorr the God Butcher in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Thor: Love & Thunder.
