MICHAEL KEATON RETURNS (or at least in discussion) AS BATMAN

[Dk1201]

Yeah by the time they got Spidey into the MCU there had already been two other iterations. So Iron Man having more of a role than J. Jonah Jameson or Norman Osborn was not as big a deal.
Ezra or no Ezra is another issue. The Flash has never had his own film at all when just almost every Marvel and DC superhero has.
Sure if you wanna get more of Flash world watch the tv show but its meant more for an epic blockbuster movie. I mean if Ant-Man can have a movie mostly to himself unfair to Flash.
If Keaton as Batman was a surprise cameo in a post credits scene that would be more appropriate.
Or just change the title.

there were 3 flash movies... from the 90's tv show

Btw I always thought that Flash show could very much fit in the same universe as the Burton Batman films. Elfman's score surely helped.

 

[J.Drangal]

Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne in his car, shooting for Flash movie.

I'm not sure if it's the pic of Keaton on set photoshopped into the car, or if the car is photoshopped around the pic of Keaton on set. Mh... So many mysteries surrounding that movie already.

 

[chamber-music]

The early nineties Flash show seemed heavily inspired by the Burton Batman films. It certainly could of fit alongside Burton's Batman.

Without a doubt.

But an MCU-style, modern day Flash solo film, we’ve never had that.
Its not that I have a problem with this film, no way, it’s just kinda unfair to Flash for it to be called The Flash. Just combine the logos Muschietti has been teasing and rename it Flashpoint.
Then do a different movie called The Flash with all the rogues, Jay Garrick, Wally West, Max Mercury et al.

I hate to say it but a Flash movie without shaking the batman money maker just wont make the kind of money DC needs. sorry

 

[Captain Tired]

Be cool if they could somehow get DeVito back as the Penguin, if only to awkwardly shoehorn in this Other Guys reference:

Barry: And why the clues about peacocks? Why the constant references to flying...
Bruce: Let's just settle this, Barry. Peacocks don't fly!
Barry: They fly. They fly just a little bit...
Bruce: Bah! About as much as a...Penguin!

Then they should change the title.
Ant-Man can make enough $ for Marvel without the Avengers showing up. Dr. Strange doesn’t need them either. Flash is no different.

 

[emielaen]

Changing the title to Flashpoint won't do anything to make it less "unfair" to Flash, which I don’t agree w anyway. Flash is more than likely driving the entire plot. It's his story. There being supporting characters doesn't change any of that, regardless of who they are.

Audiences being excited to see Batman in a Flash movie doesn’t harm anything, at all lol

Cap and Thor didn't mind guest stars in their movie when it was all said and done I think.

 

[REDophile]

It doesn’t harm anything, no, there should just be a separate movie called The Flash if this is more about Michael Keaton Batman and less about The Flash family.

Why are we jumping to it is all about Keaton as Bats?

The leaked teaser thingie literally has the main actor talking about The Flash and what his powers etc. are gonna be like... And yeah they mention Batman and other goodies in the movie but it isn't seeming to be sold on Keaton's appearance by that teaser.

 

[emielaen]

Why do we think it's more about Keaton exactly? Because people are interested in his involvement, or just because he's in it? Is the original Flashpoint story more about Thomas Wayne than Flash?

 

[Sawyer]

I love people complaining about how this thing is shaping up when Captain America: Civil War had literally every character in the MCU aside from Hulk and Thor.

 

[Filmfreak]

I'm not complaining but to be fair that is not the best of comparisons. Civil War was the third Captain America film, while this is the first Flash solo movie.

 

[REDophile]

Exactly. Doing a straight up Flashpoint movie is more appropriate for a sequel. Thor had his own movie with a post-credits Avengers teaser. Keaton should just be that much maybe a little more. Or change the title. Otherwise its insulting to Flash to be calling it The Flash.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Please bring in Ms. Pfeiffer !!

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Did Bats have a new costume in that leaked concept art?

 

[super85]

I think the leaked stuff is Still on Reddit.

Looked like the concept art had taken images from Batman Returns and used them in the art.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Please bring in Ms. Pfeiffer !!

She is now in London to shoot Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Although I don't think she'll be allowed to hop between sets thanks to COVID.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

Still a very beautiful woman.

Meow!

Still gorgeous!

I think yes and no? They are using a lot of Returns images for the concepts but the full-body photo looks like Batman has pouches on his belt and not the 89/returns style.

Curious if those Kingdom Come rumours turn out to be true....
