Y'know, the more nostalgic part of me thinks that if WB could pry themselves away from their deep love affair with darking and grimming up the rest of the DC Universe to match their Batstandards just long enough, "Batman Beyond" would be the ideal opportunity to bring Burton and Keaton back together. The decidedly more outlandish super-or-otherwise-non-human villains of Terry McGinnis' rogues' gallery (not to mention the production and costume design) would be a playground for Burton's visual tendencies, not to mention it offers a story that would probably be right up his alley - what happens when Batman can't put on the suit anymore? Also, Keaton's old enough now that you could just give him a little more gray, a stipple-and-stretch and a cane to suitably age him to where Bruce Wayne would have to be, AND he doesn't even need to put on another heavy rubber suit - even if there were a compulsion to put him in some elaborate exosuit for a climactic showdown (like in that one episode with the sad blue-collar guy fawning over Inque), they could just mo-cap it onto him like the Kryptonian armor in MOS or Yellowjacket in "Ant-Man".
A Flashpoint movie way, WAY down the line would be awesome and with that, a Flashpoint Batman would be fantastic! I wouldn't mind a spin-off solo movie if it's done well enough.
