When Mirror Master and his sidekick used their mirror tech to create fake Flash's to commit crime, the real Flash turns to Batman for help. Running all over Gotham until he finds the Batcave.

Flashpoint[]

When Barry realized that everything has changed for the worse, from preventing his mother's murder, he goes to find Batman. Hoping that Bruce would be able to help him figure out what is happening, with him being the world's greatest detective and a friend, but the Batman Barry meets in the Flashpoint paradox wasn't Bruce but a darker version of Bruce's father, Thomas Wayne. Barry knew about the night Bruce watched his parents be murdered right in front of his child self, and that is how he came to realise that Bruce was the one to die in his father's place. He tells Thomas that his son is alive in his original timeline and undoing the damage to it would bring Bruce back. Which it does and Barry shares what happened in the Flashpoint timeline with Bruce, along with giving him a latter from his father. Bringing Bruce to tears as he reads it and thanks Barry in his own way.

Unlike the original comic and animated film version of Flashpoint, that have Barry teaming up with Thomas Wayne in Bruce's place, the 2023 The Flash film has the Barrys teaming up with Bruce in the altered Flashpoint timeline. That has Barry meeting three different versions of Bruce, due to the changes made to the time stream and universe in the film.

BatFlash is one of the ships involving Batman and the Flash, but because they both have canon love interests, that the two men are shipped with the most, it draws focus away from BatFlash. With the early years of DC animated adaptations having little interactions between Bruce and Barry outside the comics, it has BatFlash be over shadowed by the DCAU ship between Bruce and Wally West. From them being the first Batman and Flash to appear in the same animated series and universe. Due to the nature of the ship's title, some have confused BatFlash with FlashBat (Bruce x Wally) of the DC Animated Universe. That has Wally West serve as the Flash of DCAU in Barry's place.

Thanks to DC related medias like the DC Extended Universe, it has allowed BatFlash to gain a few more supporters. Even though there wasn't much interaction between them in the Justice League film, there was plenty in The Flash film. Despite the fact it had Barry meeting three different versions of Bruce, as DCEU prepares to rewrite it's film universe by recasting the main characters.

On AO3, BatFlash is the sixth most written ship in the Justice League (2017) tag and second most written in the The Flash (Movie 2023) tag. There are currently 190+ written works.

Trivia[]

  • Both of their hero journeys began with the murder of their mothers when they were young.
  • Earth-52 has its version of Batman and Flash fuse with one another, from when Flash refused to give a darker Batman Speed Force powers and their battle ends with the two being forcibly fused into one being. Allowing Bruce to gain Flash's powers and a corrupt connection to the Speed Force, like he wanted as the Batman/Flash infused villain, Red Death. As for Barry, his consciousness became trapped within Bruce's body, unable to stop Bruce as he uses his powers to harm people.
    • Barry regains control of his body from Red Death when he gets hit with positive energy. The Batman who Laughs, however, knew that Red Death would betray him and his army of evil Batmen and set countermeasures for when it happens. Like having him be killed by the positive energy Red Death was got hit with, and allowed 52 Barry to regain control from 52 Bruce, hours later.
