Bale’s Batman was part of a realistic and grounded universe, which might not be a good fit for the fantastical, multi-dimensional story being told in The Flash. Furthermore, Bale has previously stated that he would only return to the role if Christopher Nolan, the director of the Dark Knight trilogy, was involved. Nolan has not been involved in any DC-related projects since producing 2013’s Man of Steel.
