The Flash was a much-anticipated movie, especially due to the return of Michael Keaton as Batman. However, after the box office disappointment, Keaton’s future as the Caped Crusader is uncertain. Original plans included Keaton’s Batman appearing in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Batgirl, and a potential Batman Beyond movie. While Keaton filmed roles for Aquaman and Batgirl, he was cut from the former after DC Studios decided to reboot the DCEU. Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav made the controversial decision to scrap the near-completed Batgirl movie rather than releasing it. Keaton himself admitted to not having watched the final version of the movie, leaving his future as Batman uncertain. The Flash did not live up to the expectations of being the ‘greatest superhero movie ever made,’ resulting in mixed reviews and disappointing box office numbers. Despite this, Keaton’s portrayal of Batman was well-received by fans and critics alike.
