Interesting. So they scrapped the Flashpoint Batman being in the new one and are trying to replace it will the Keaton Batman? I'd watch.

This is clearly a joke and the websites that don't report it that way really seem to be getting to stir up shit.
And for people who don't know...
In the comics, the Flashpoint leads to Bruce being murdered in that alley and his father becoming a much more lethal Batman, so this would fit with the BvS role.
Lmao that's some strong clickbait. He's clearly joking but they just paint him as an asshole lol.

He was joking about it in a nice way, but rumors are that his Flashpoint Batman was dropped and they are pursuing Keaton. He doesn't seem upset though. Seems its w/e for him.
He played Bruce Wayne in two really old Batman movies from like 30 years ago called Batman (1989) and Batman Returns.

To be fair, I'd rather see JDM as Thomas way e Batman somehow folded into the universe than Keaton
It feels like there's two different types of Multiverse concepts here. The first is where you have multiverse but through a single interpretation and continuity, like a multiverse where something in the timeline we already know to exist is altered, so say DCEU's Bruce Wayne dies as a kid and DCEU's Thomas Wayne becomes DCEU's Batman instead which sounded like the original pitch for Flashpoint and what was done in the comics? The second is more fanservicey like what if Michael Keaton's Batman from the Burton universe met Ben Affleck's Batman from the Snyderverse so all the Batman and DC media we consume is canon and actually could be linked? It sounds like they're settling on the latter, minus Affleck appearing because it will be Keaton interacting with Ezra's Flash. Unless the casting is just a nod to the past and Keaton is supposed to be recasted older DCEU Bruce and not Burton's?
I dunno but from a writing perspective the first concept sounds more interesting to me but the latter will definitely hype people with nostalgia and generate way more revenue just by having Keaton reappear in the trailers. Though I have a gut feeling that Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness will take the opposite approach and show us alternate MCU scenarios rather than tying in with Fox or Sony Marvel movies. I'd love to be wrong. Either way it's exciting to see CBMs tackle multiverses no matter which approach is taken.

Thanks, I had totally forgotten about that for some reason :)
