'The Flash' gets July 2022 release date, Andy Muschietti to direct

[MartyMcFly]

This from collider which they pulled from the wrap:

The report notes that conversations are in very early stages, and the actual size of Keaton’s role is up in the air. But essentially, the actor’s presence is a way to introduce the idea that there is no “main” DC Universe, just many branches on one tree. So the same universe that saw Keaton’s Batman do battle with Jack Nicholson’s Joker exists, as does Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy universe, as does the universe in which Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) became the Joker, etc etc. Reportedly, Keaton’s presence won’t at all effect The Batman, Matt Reeves’ upcoming film that sees Robert Pattinson putting on the cape and cowl.

I was a fan of the cartoon growing up and still don't get why theres no interest in making a Batman Beyond movie. That and Silver Surfer for me

Kinda ironic the day Joel Schumacher dies, it’s announced Keaton is coming back. The levels

There was interest. Bruce timm and paul dini pitched that years ago. Company always goes in another direction though.

But to the larger point; if this is to establish a multiverse like the reports say, then why not do it the way they’re doing it. And you can always do Batman beyond

Was about to say so they're definitely acknowledging a multiverse now

If there is the multiverse. That means Joqauin's Joker could face off against Bale's Batman down the road.

I saw this on Facebook from comicbook.com and immediately dismissed it as some ol' bullshyt, than I saw it again from another website so idk

 

[jay211]

What if Nolan returned to direct a one off movie of Joaquin's Joker vs Bale as Batman

Nah.

I have no problem with comic book movies not necessarily being tied to the same universe.
