be a big draw. Most liked him as Batman but I don’t think he connected to audiences the same way Christian Bale did. Keaton was pretty overshadowed by the villains 

Lol, Bale's Batman was overshadowed by the villains.

I don't think the thinking is that Keaton is going to be a draw. They want a DCEU Batman now that Batfleck is out, but they don't want to compete or take attention away from Battinson. They need to establish a new DCEU Batman and do so without him having his own movie, and that's going to be a lot easier to pull off with Keaton, who everyone seems to at least like in the role. This way they can have a great actor in the role, not take any hype away from Battinson (a 70-year-old, probably retired/retiring mentor figure and a 30 something, newly-established Batman aren't really comparable) but can still market it as a Batman and Flash movie.

Why do they need Batman in the DCEU in the first place?? These films are barely connected as is, having Battinson off doing his own thing won't affect anything else.

Still the only decent cinematic Batman so far. Unless Adam West counts, he was great too.

Spoiler

3/3 of DC’s most globally successful movies this century have been Batman related, I can sort of understand why corporate would want to shove Batman connections into everything.

Aquaman made more than any Batman movie globally

Yeah, I deliberately avoided nominal highest-grossing since it’s a 20 year period. TDK obviously is the most successful peaking at #4 WW. I think TDKR making 7th and Joker blowing the R record away by such a margin round out the top 3. Aquaman would be next though.

Let's not forget that Keaton back and muktiverse approach means that Bale CAN someday return if they somehow convince him. Maybe even Nolan's version of Robin. 

 

There's just a lot of options on the table with them doing this. Think that's what excites me the most. 

 

Also, the big one... Halle Berry's Catwoman! 

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?

I don't want to accept that anything movie related exists in the same "multiverse" as the Arrowverse. As far as I can tell, that Ezra Miller cameo was some non-canon easter egg.

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.

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

Who doesn’t like cyber punk and a Clint Eastwood style Bruce Wayne?

Exactly.

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.

According to Griffin Schiller (The Playlist), Michael Keaton will make just a cameo in 'The Flash' + introduction to 'Batman Beyond' in 2023. He didn't accepted yet because he wants Tim Burton to direct.

 

I don't know where he said this but I think it was in a poadcast.

If they’re going to make a 70 year old Michael Keaton wear a Batsuit, I would hope for his sake that it isn’t as bulky as most of the previous ones.

Surely it has to be for the next Thor movie?

Making Bale the DCEU's Batman would kind of nullify the ending to TDKR, but it makes a shit-ton more sense than bringing in Keaton

Well, Bale is in Thor, so... if there’s teasing in a way which could just be that, it’s probably just that.
