I read that post out of the corner of my eye at first so I was really disappointed to discover that it is not, in fact, a Kate Beaton Batman movie

This would actually be good so DC would never do it

Yeah, the Batfleck Batman is supppsed to be partially inspired by Dark Knight Returns.

Every live-action Batman since Keaton, with the potential exception of Clooney, has been partially inspired by DKR.

Keaton is apparently signed on for Flashpoint as Batman but I hadn't heard about a solo film. At this point though I'm going to assume every DC property is on the table but won't actually believe they're real until we have a trailer

There was an article a few months ago saying he was signed on for a batman beyond show on hbo max, but I'm starting to think that might be a fever dream.

The amazing thing about Batman Beyond is how it's origin story just the DCAU team figuring out how to make diamonds from coal with the mandate of the network being "Make it like Pokemon and Power Rangers"

The two minute trailer was overall more fun than WW1984 at least.

As far as I have read future WB film Batman projects are:

The Batman (Matt Reeves and Battinson, not a part of the DCEU, new continuity)

The Batman spin-off TV show (will follow a corrupt cop in the GCPD during Batman's first year, will be the same Batman as Battinson so not in the DCEU, but I guess it might not actually feature Pattinson in the role as I imagine Batman will be rarely seen)

The Flash film (will feature Keaton Batman and Affleck Batman thanks to multi-verse stuff)

Neither Keaton nor Affleck will have any solo films as far as I know, but if the Snydercut injects new enthusiasm into the DCEU (somewhat debateable at this point due to the polarization of Snyder's work) then perhaps they might court Affleck to come back for future DCEU projects. Walter Hamada said in an interview recently that there is going to be two Batman series running at the same time. What he means by that is unclear, certainly Battinson is one, but the other...?

What does that make Robert Pattinson, or Ben Affleck? Alternate timeline Batmen? And if so, what does that mean for all the other characters Batfleck interacted with, like the entire Justice League?

Is this just DC's way of saying "Yeah everything we've made has been absolute poo poo, including stuff that hasn't even been released. DO-OVER TIME!"

Battinson seems to be aiming for more of a Year One vibe so he’s probably technically the same one as Keaton, but still very weird news.

The way it's being reported is that Keaton will be the "main Batman", so I don't think this is DC secretly backdooring old Bruce Wayne in for Batman Beyond (unfortunately).

Battinson is a "stand-alone" Bats, kind of like the Phoenix Joker. Keaton's apparently replacing Affleck as the connected universe Bats. Probably write out Affleck in the Flash movie (if that ever happens).

Could be they're going for a Douglas/Ant-Man situation where a younger actor is Nightwing or something?

I thought the Rob Pattinson movie was going to be the same movie Ben Affleck was gonna be in before he quit. Did the whole project get scrapped?

I think it technically is the same project, just originally it was Affleck starring and directing... then just starring and Reeves got attached... then Affleck dropped out and they pivoted to Pattison and a younger Wayne.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

The only way it makes sense to me is they're trying to lay claim to the Burton Batman films as the history of the DCEU and so the grizzled tired Batman Affleck played in BvS was supposed to be that guy an dnow maybe there's a small time jump since Justice League or something? And then yeah you'd introduce Nightwing or Red Robin or the Hood or someone to replace him?

I dunno.

They're so messy.

From the Batman on film story about this, it sounds like Flashpoint is his gonna gently caress with the universe and replace the Affleck Batman with the Keaton version via multiverse poo poo.
