Admittedly, was surprised how much of Keaton as actually THE BATMAN we seem to be getting in this film.

More or less figured he would be BATMAN BEYOND Bruce Wayne…but these leaks seem to show Old Man Bruce is still fighting the good fight.

I do hope they toss a nod to Michael Gough’s Alfred… “Alfred is my family” great line from Batman ‘89. That whole quick dinner scene with Him Bruce Vickie is very simple and charming.

@IronGenesis - apparently the plan is this will serve as sort of a batman 3 for him then he'll just be Bruce Wayne helping other heroes

@Origame - His Batman is in his last years (even older than the character was in The Dark Knight Returns). He might suffer a broken leg or a stroke that forces him to retire permanently at the end of the movie.

As for Keaton himself, he's clearly in great shape for someone who is almost in his 70's.

The movie might be called “the flash” but tickets will be bought by fans of the Michael Keaton Batman so I hope he has a big role in it.

The first ever Flash movie, and the only things I'm mildly excited about so far are a new Supergirl and a 30 year old Batmobile.

It’s Spider-Man!

@micvalpro - Would be so cool if they could arrange a kind of Rutland parade thing between this production and Spider-Man: No Way Home/Doctor Strange into the Multiverse of Madness.

Besides the thematic similarities ( nostalgic multiversal reprisals of classic cinematic cbm performances), look at how many actors these productions might have in common:

Michael Keaton (Batman/The Vulture)
Ben Affleck (Daredevil/Batman)
Michelle Pfieffer (Catwoman/The Wasp)
and probably way more that I can't think of right now.

I guess I’m the only super excited for this.

It’s number 2 behind The Batman for me.

@wondermanohwow - If the spider was black it'd be great, but it's too similar to the Iron Spider suit.

What if Val Kilmer's Bruce Wayne is the villain in this, as the Red Death?

Anyway, I do wonder who the second idiot is. Can see it be any protegee of Keaton's Batman, but could also be Wally West (who I wanna see become the main Flash).

@bkmeijer - As good as that sounds in theory, I highly doubt it. I just saw a movie with him called The Cake. Much to my chagrin, it wasn't about big booty women. Despite that fact, it also turned out to be a horrible movie.

Anyway, he looks and sounds rough post laryngectomy. I really fear for what his role is going to be like in Top Gun II.

@inkniron - yeah, thats true. I'm kinda hoping he gets better, because I always enjoyed Kilmer.

Could we see a Thomas Wayne version. We have seen Thomas Wayne in the DCEU. Jeffrey Dean Morgan briefly played the role in Batman v Superman and has said he is open to reprising the role.

The "mystery" character is clearly...



...get it...MYSTERY character!

I think the three biggest reveals for me were:

1. It's a Justice League movie. Obviously not what we would expect out of a movie called 'The Flash', so why call it that? Why not call it FLASHPOINT, because...

2. It's actually Flashpoint. Flash changes the timestream after saving his mother (Muschietti already revealed this) Flash ends up a Wayne Manor ending up teaming up with a grumpy, more grizzled, darker older Batman, gets his powers back, they go rescue Superman/woman/girl from her underground prison, save the world and reboot the timeline. Which brings me to...

3. Sasha Calle is playing a gender-flipped Flashpoint Superman CONFIRMING THE SCRIPT-LEAKS once and for all! As if the said leaks being taken down from Reddit and set-pics confirming Keaton in a post-Flashpoint world weren't proof enough.

Which also means 4. This movie restores the DCEU/Snyderverse!

You good with that, Spider-fans?!

@GwenLantern - having Calle's Supergirl in the same world as Keaton's Batman feels off to me. She's obviously related to Cavill's Superman (because of the suit), so by extent I associate her with Affleck's Batman too.

As much air punching alpha males that's gonna result in, I do like the idea of Calle's Supergirl being a gender-flipped Kal-El though.
