I'm all for a recast if we can't keep Affleck. Don't wanna see any other character as Batman just yet. We just got started with the guy.

Perhaps a Flashpoint event ****s up the timeline and it results in a younger Bruce.
Flashpoint alters timelines, resulting in a new personal history and not a new biology. It doesn't make people younger or older, and if it did, it would affect more than just Bruce Wayne.
Well it kinda made everybody 10 years younger in the comics lol
I don't think it did. Not really. Some were meant to be the same age while others weren't. Bruce remained older with much of his history intact, for example. One of the reasons Flashpoint was ultimately poorly received was because it was a logistical mess, unevenly applied. And, as you point out, if it did have a youthful effect, it would logically apply to more than just one character. I believe the way Flashpoint was supposed to work in the comics wasn't that they were made younger, but that we were watching them from a new start in their lives. In the CW Flash's take on Flashpoint, ages didn't change. It would be a convoluted and nonsensical method to explain a change in Bruce, in my opinion.
I think 10 years younger was the deal though. I remember I kept hearing about it. Some characters historyw ere changed, and some were kept, but I remember hearing that no matter what history, everything was contracted into a 5 year span. Obviously something like Batman's history would be super convoluted, and it essentially meant he went through 3 robins in the span of 5 years. That issue was never really addressed until Rebirth where it was touched upon but never explained fully.
I guess what I mean to say is that it's not just an aging trick. It changes the entire world. It's not like Bruce would be 10 years younger in the same world with the same friends and history. The whole world would be, for lack of a better word, ten years younger. It's too complicated, and the New 52 doesn't exactly illustrate its success as a device, and so it would be a risky and drastic mechanism to use just for an alleged Affleck recast. I think...hope...they'd avoid it.
i know its a fiction & all that , but you just cant throw out another actor to play the batman on this Dceu universe , like nothing happened
