I certainly don’t like the idea of a Bruce Wayne who banged Batgirl. It’s especially weird in the DCAU, because he knew Barbara since she was a kid.

The one thing I’ll say that I’m still somewhat curious about regarding this film is how they’ll explain bringing back Quaritch and Grace.

Judging by the Michael Keaton news, and the fact that the movie division at WB were apparently the ones who requested the Ezra Miller cameo, it seems like that was supposed to be a cross promotional tie-in.

For God’s sake, leave TDKT out of this! I don’t want to be forced to accept the idea that TDK exists in the same multiverse as the Arrowverse. Besides, that would be a huge slap in the face to what Nolan’s vision was. Also, why are people suggesting that Michael Keaton playing Batman again wouldn’t be a draw?

Does anyone suppose they would be willing to acknowledge the fact that Michael Keaton’s Batman not only killed people, but actually seemed to enjoy it to some degree?

The MCU is technically supposed to take place in the same multiverse as the various comic continuities, so I guess they could potentially do something cute with that.

I still remember when everyone was baffled by the announcement of a Joker standalone origin story.

I just think that if they’re gonna do this, they might as well have not even bothered with the Matt Reeves/Robert Pattinson movies.

I still don’t understand the love for Batman Beyond.

I’m fine with that, although it really seems like this might cause people to pay less attention to Robert Pattinson’s movies.

We can have Mr. Freeze as the spider head, just like in the DCAU!

People don’t care about George Clooney’s Batman, though.

So, they’re sort of doing Flashpoint, but they’re going with Michael Keaton as Batman because that has more marketing appeal than Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Batman?

I can’t imagine we’d actually see him suit up and fighting bad guys. He’d probably just serve a mentor role, like in Batman Beyond.

Well, I suppose the Arrowverse already established that the Tim Burton continuity is part of the same multiverse as the DCEU, so this isn’t unprecedented. They just better keep the Nolan Batman universe the hell away from this. I don’t want the Nolan trilogy to be part of some multiverse.

I know WB is the same studio that planned on releasing a Justice League film just one year after TDK, with a completely different Batman, but at this point, doing something like that seems like it would be excessive.

Here’s something I’d be real interested in knowing; if this movie is supposed to be based on Flashpoint, and is meant to serve as a reboot for the DCEU, what exactly would WB hope to accomplish from that? I get that the Snyderverse was a huge mess, but I was under the impression that WB had already pretty much abandoned the interconnected universe approach, outside of keeping several of the actors from the Snyder era. The only real reason I can think of for why they’d go through the trouble of doing an in-universe retcon is if they want to eventually have Robert Pattinson alongside Gal Gadot and Jason Momoa, but I was under the impression that Matt Reeves’ Batman was supposed to be a stand-alone trilogy. Plus, if they intend to use this movie to explain why Ben Affleck is now Robert Pattinson, then why is it being released after the Matt Reeves Batman movie?

Sure, he’ll most likely get an executive producer credit, since he was The Who came up with this particular incarnation of the Flash, but executive producer doesn’t mean much.

Is Snyder involved in this movie?

Are there any palindrome dates in 2021 where they could release this?

I know that he was supposed to be in the movie back when Rick Famuyiwa was attached.

I see my comment was deleted. For the record, it was just a joke. It wasn’t meant to be taken seriously.

It’s called staying on the side of caution.

Unfortunately, that’s not how the Internet operates in a post-MeToo era. Once the Internet hears something scandalous about a person, the immediate assumption is that the person is guilty. The Internet in general thrives on cancel culture. It’s the bread and butter. Twitter is the most egregious example of this, but the problem is prevalent for the rest of the Internet as well.

It sure is nice to see that Twitter is still being Twitter...
