The Flash movie - Batfleck Returns There's been several threads in the past regarding the DCEU so I figured why not make a new one to discuss what will hopefully be an upturn in quality going forward. So, it's been confirmed that not only is Ben Affleck returning to his role as Batman for The Flash movie but we're ALSO getting the return of Michael Keaton as Batman. In the same movie!! Michael Keaton apparently has a multi film deal to essentially be the DCEU version of Nick Fury so he can mentor Batgirl and appear in Flash sequels. Ben Affleck will likely only be appearing in an extended cameo to set up the whole time travel storyline but it's still nice to see him back. According to rumours on the internet, the story goes that The Flash will go back in time to the early 90s to save his mother but accidentally crosses over into Tim Burton's Batman universe where he encounters Michael Keaton. Upon his return to the present, he finds himself still in Tim Burton's universe where Bruce Wayne is now retired but acts as his mentor going forward. If that is the direction they're going then I'm fully on board with it. Especially if they bring back the Danny Elfman Batman theme. There's also been a bunch of hints that other characters from past DC movies could appear so fingers crossed for a short Christopher Reeve Superman cameo. I don't normally like the idea of digitally recreating dead actors but I'd be ok with a fly-by appearance from the real Superman. | |

It's based on the alternate timeline "Flashpoint" story from 2011. | |

Hope the OP is ok with this.I figured it would be ok since we are on the subject of Batman already.

Thanks to the idiots at WB, the DCEU is fucked beyond repair. | |

Thanks to the idiots at WB, the DCEU is fucked beyond repair. Not necessarily. I mean it's POSSIBLE that The Flash movie could be used as a sort of reset for the entire DCEU so they could pick and choose what worked and ignore what didn't in future movies without having to worry about affecting the continuity. The multiverse idea is good for that. Now, I have zero confidence in WB that they'll actually pull it off but technically speaking, it could be fixed. Even though, as you say, it probably won't be. After all, this is the company who ruined their Superman series by firing Richard Donner, ruined their Batman series by firing Tim Burton and ruined their own DCEU by firing Zack Snyder, hiring an outside editor to edit the final cut of Suicide Squad, completely botched the Justice League movie and thought it would be a good idea to release that horrible Shazam movie. So yeah, they'll probably fuck up The Flash as well but on the off chance that they don't, it has the potential to be at least an entertaining movie. Plus, with Michael Keaton coming back we're one step closer to that live action Batman Beyond movie I've always wanted. | |

And let's not forget about the folks over at the CW for fucking up DC as well (And when I say folks I'm talking about Greg Berlanti) |

I don't like either but then I don't really like the character in general. The movie suit looks like a dodgy Iron Man costume and the tv show one looks like some guy wearing fancy pyjamas. The concept art they showed from the upcoming solo movie looks better though. | |

Exactly, what's up with that. Movie one is just horrible |

. The TV show Flash has gotten better over the yearsThe rumor is that Ben Affleck's Batman will die in the movie -probably to save the day. 99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment | |

Yeah and I'm betting it's that new suit which allows him to travel back in time to meet Michael Keaton. Because superhero logic. Then, once he's crossed over to the Burton universe he either stays there or Keaton travels back with him to the "Snyder-verse". When Keaton was just in talks for the role, word was that The Flash would be stuck in the Burton universe but who knows how true these rumours are. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. An interesting quote I seen from the director suggested multiple Batmen other than Affleck. So we know about Michael Keaton but I wonder if we'll get cameos from anyone else? Val Kilmer, perhaps? I know he can't speak anymore but he wouldn't have to if it's only a short cameo. Or they could get Kevin Conroy to dub him. I imagine Clooney is probably out given how utterly terrible he was though. Christian Bale probably wouldn't be interested and honestly, I wouldn't be interested in seeing him back either. Maybe Pattinson could cameo though to tie in his movie with the multi verse thing they're going for. The DC FanDome thing had clips of all sorts when they were discussing possible cameos. Watchmen, Superman even that Keanu Reeves Constantine movie I forgot existed. Just as long as they don't forget that they're making a Flash movie and instead stuff it full of cameos. | |

Kinda sounds like those bad CW crossover episodes which is more about cameos than story |

If the Snyder cut is popular enough. Affleck might want to reprise his role and come back with a justice league 2. (It all depends how popular the Snyder cut becomes. I myself think it will be good and not great. Which is a step up.). Affleck could still die in the flash movie because we don't know when in the time line Affleck went to another universe. Which means Affleck could still be batman in justice league 2 if need be. OR Keaton moves to the Snyder universe and mentors a new batman or Nightwing. I believe Keaton has a multiple movie contract. Which means that Keaton moves to the snyder universe more apt to happen. Which means we get Nightwing! [Edited 8/25/20 22:24pm] 99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment | |

What do you all think of the new Batman game called "Gotham Knights"? Here is a link for the trailer https://youtu.be/IhVf_3TeTQE I haven't played a Batman game since Arkham asylum because those games are a bit too difficult for me and i get stuck at certain stages but i might give this one a shot.The thought of playing as knightwing is very cool to me. | |

I loved the Arkham games. They were some of the first games I ever played but like you, I found them to be quite difficult in places. Even on the easiest difficulty setting. I don't like the look of Gotham Knights though. Admittedly, I don't know much about it but it looks like one of those multiplayer games. My brother works for a video game company and he sends me loads of free games. One of them was a game called The Division 2. He told me I could play it all single player so I tried it but I hated it. Yeah, it's possible to play it by yourself but you'd want to be some kind of videogame professional to stand a chance. That's the same vibe I get from Gotham Knights. Which is a shame because I'd like to play a whole game as Batgirl but if I'm being punished for not playing with other people then I'm not interested. There was also a Suicide Squad game announced. And that looks even worse. | |
