Ben Affleck's Batman is about to embark on his last hurrah, and with it comes a stunning new Batcave that has been unveiled in the final trailer for The Flash.

Fans have eagerly anticipated this moment, and the anticipation grows as they catch a glimpse of the striking new Batcave design in The Flash's recently released trailer.

In this sneak peek, we are treated to Bruce Wayne's fresh Batcave, featuring a cutting-edge setup where Jeremy Irons' Alfred communicates with Ezra Miller's Flash.
Hovering above the Batcave is the Flying Fox, the three-story airplane introduced in Justice League, which once again finds itself in the heart of the action as Batman descends onto the streets on his motorcycle from the impressive aircraft.
The aesthetic of Ben Affleck's new Batcave marks a departure from the corporate-inspired designs seen in Zack Snyder's films, as it harks back to the traditional comic book look.
While Batman v Superman showcased a Batcave reminiscent of a parking garage with visible complex structures above ground, Justice League took it further, transforming the space into an opulent corporate building rather than the iconic Batcave we know and love.
Unfortunately, fans will only get a fleeting glimpse of Ben Affleck's final portrayal of Batman in The Flash. The actor's screen time as the Dark Knight is expected to be limited to around five minutes before Michael Keaton's Caped Crusader assumes the mantle.
However, this planned transition was in the works even before James Gunn and Peter Safran joined DC Studios and announced the Brave and the Bold reboot. As early as January 2021, reports indicated that Michael Keaton was set to replace Affleck in the DCEU.

In an unprecedented move, The Flash will treat audiences to the sight of not just one but two distinct Batcaves. Alongside Ben Affleck's Batcave, fans can revisit Michael Keaton's superhero headquarters as the Multiverse storyline unfolds.
Keaton's Batcave design draws inspiration from Tim Burton's iconic Batman movies, presenting a fresh and unique take on the Dark Knight's lair.
DC has made it a deliberate choice to tailor each Batman's Batcave to reflect their character and the tone of their respective films. As the cinematic universe expands, viewers can look forward to exploring Robert Pattinson's Batcave in the highly anticipated sequel to The Batman, scheduled for release in October 2025.
Furthermore, with a new Dark Knight set to emerge in the undated Brave and the Bold film, an entirely new lair will be unveiled, adding another layer of excitement to Batman's world.
With the release of The Flash just around the corner, fans are eagerly anticipating the cinematic spectacle. Slated to hit theaters on Friday, June 16, 2023, the film marks the end of Ben Affleck's memorable tenure as Batman and serves as a gateway to new adventures within the vast DC Extended Universe.
