According to reports test audiences were confused and angry at Michael Keaton cameo in BATGIRL and AQUAMAN 2. He seems to be a big reason why BATGIRL was killed.
Why zoomers hate Keaton so much?

People liked Affleck's Batman and having a random geriatric Batman appear with no explanation is moronic.
People who liked Affleck's Batman have no right to voice their opinions on the matter.
>People liked Affleck's Batman
Indians aren't people
I liked Affleck as Batman... but hated Batman v Superman and Snyder's DC films.
Unironically this.
Burton's films were alright but they haven't aged all that well and Keaton was hardly the highlight (the best parts of the films were the set designs).
Literally no one asked for Keaton to come back
>Literally no one asked for Keaton to come back
You say this like most normies and comic book nerds older than 25 don't constantly scream that Keaton is "the best Batman ever!"
This.
They could have least cast a young man if they were going to recast Batman. But having the elderly Michael Keaton take over to train an adult Barbara Gordon was lame.
Recasting Ben Affleck with John Hamm or Josh Brollin without much explanation would have been much easier.
It could work if they just have Flash reset the universe like Flashpoint.
That's why they should have used Keaton for a Batman Beyond movie. A one off film that can capture the nostalgia audience. A sequel to 89 Batman and Batman Returns completely separate from the DC universe.
Putting him in the main DCEU timeline as the main Batman was always completely moronic.
No one liked Fatman, BvS was universally panned and JL underperformed.

True, we brown people are tired of this forced brown pandering from the left. We want more white people on screen!
I'M CONFUSED AND ANGRY BECAUSE OF CAPESHIT MOVIES!!!
Reports also say people love him in The Flash, where it's fricking explained. Ezra fricked everything up.
The release dates were swapped way before Ezra did anything you moron
Lol, not that anon, but saying Ezra didn't have an effect on all these shakeups and cancellations is just ignorance. You must be a zoomer troony lover.
How? Aquaman 2 and The Flash switched places in the lineup on like March 3rd, the first incident with Miller didn’t happened until like March 30th.
The only reason they had to reshoot Keaton’s Aquaman scenes was because of that order change.
To suggest otherwise means Warner has known Ezra is crazy for a long long time and was already compensating on March 3rd which is scandalous.
That other Anon got BTFO.
>To suggest otherwise means Warner has known Ezra is crazy for a long long time
they have, there was a report in Hollywood Reporter that said on the set of the movie last year in 2021 he would have mental breakdowns and not know where he was or what he was doing
they knew this was coming and still went ahead with everything
>the first incident with Miller didn’t happened until like March 30th.
He chocked that woman long before that
yeah but who cares about that, the woman started all of it and never escalated to anything beyond spamming it on twitter, which is why WB never made a big deal about it
also that was April 2020, so he went 2 years being relatively sane until March 2022 when he schizo'd out again
blaming DC's current frick-up's on Ezra says more about Warner/DC than it does Ezra, Marvel/Disney had no issue managing its moronic controversies but somehow Warner can't handle one mentally ill troon, they need more or better people to manage their actors.
>chocked
Dumbass.
So what you're saying is because of Ezra, Batgirl and probably other woke garbage got cancelled?
There has literally been 5 fricking batmen on screen since he played him, middle aged people who grew up on keatons batman wouldn't be caught dead at a capeshit movie
There's nothing wrong with Keaton itself, it's just that he's too old for zoomers to feel any nostalgia for him, and he can't coexist with batffleck.
Well he COULD but Hamada and Johns didn't want him to because they were desperately trying to reboot the universe with Flashpoint to be more fun and campy like WW84
>every film now is made for zoomers
No one cares about Keaton’s Batman besides boomers and no one wants to see some geezer trying to be a superhero like Batman
>no one wants to see some geezer trying to be a superhero like Batman
then why do they want affleck?
Bring back Keaton Batman for Batman Beyond. There is would actually be interesting and wouldn’t just be member berries as he’d get the chance to actually be the character in a real continuity and not just some shoehorned multiverse reference shtick.
>Keaton Batman for Batman Beyond.
kino but the prime candidate for terry is already playing bruce wayne
Discovery is cancellign the reboot shit
SNYDERVERSE IS STAYING

Pattinson is out. Every trash made without snyder is out too.
true if big
So how's the weather in India today?
very shitty sir.
If only.
what’s it like to be made up of 1s and 0s and lack any autonomy
>Pattinson is out.
Wouldn't be surprised. The movie was expected to gross a billion and it fell short.
I dont give a shit about any of this capeshit but i want snyderverse to get revived just for the absolute seethe it will cause. In terms of capeshit the snyder movies aren't that bad, i cant sit through a single modern marvel movie but his justice league didnt feel like 4 hours at all.
>but i want snyderverse to get revived just for the absolute seethe it will cause.
If your only motivation is to see shitty films get made because it will piss people off, why aren't you campaigning to have Uwe Boll make more films?
>Watch Justice League

>Ben Afflek was Batman at the time
>Watch Aquaman 2
>HEY DUDES ITS 70 YEAR OLD MICHAEL KEATON, REMEMBER HIM?
No wonder they were confused, what the frick is he doing playing Batman?
Frick Keaton. He was talking shit about Joel Schumacher and his batman movies a few months back. How the frick do you not know that it was the studios fault that his batman films turned out that way and Joel's hands were tied abed had barely any say? How does one not know that by now in 2022? Fricking shithead.
>Unclear why Keaton's Batman was in this universe
I've been saying this for years
Keaton was supposed to be brought back for "Batman Beyond". The studio got him and changed all their plans to be more woke. Hence Terry McGuiness became an african American Babs Gordon with a transexual partner. Not even joking.
nah
Affleck literally quit and now wants back
No, you're just fricking moronic. There was never going to be a Batman Beyond movie and Barbara's friend has been a thing in the comics for fricking decades.
>Barbara's friend has been a thing in the comics for fricking decades
You have a very loose definition for "decades"
I have no fricking idea why they didn’t just make a Batman Beyond film from the start and set in the Burton universe. Would’ve been a huge hit — nostalgia bait by bringing back Keaton and zoomer audiences would’ve appreciated a younger Batman in a cyberpunk Gotham
>I have no fricking idea why they didn’t just make a Batman Beyond film from the start
Because they're fricking morons anon. Huge, HUGE fricking morons
Because Keaton sucks
>uh oh need to damage control

Michael Keaton was good in Mister Mom
Mass reply homosexual
cry about it, cuckboy
I'm sure it was killed over a single scene that could easily be removed.
Zoomers have no fricking brains.
>Michael Keaton cameo
>AQUAMAN 2
what the frick was he doing there?
He was supposed to become the main batman in the flash, which was supposed to come out before aquaman
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Spider-man
going for a swim
Crazy how the return of Keaton was over before it ever truly began. They shot all this material with him that will never see the light of day.
At least Pattinson reigns supreme.
Keaton is just going to be in The Flash like he was always supposed to.
This making him a real main Batman was dumb, he should have just been like Tobey was in NWH except not as hyped but they had to try and milk it like the greedy fricks they are
We'll see if Flash happens. I hope it does, but yeah just don't make Keaton the full time Batguy
the movie is coming out, WB knows the real story
Unless you buttholes have heard otherwise, everything I've seen is that Flashpoint is a good movie. They're probably reshooting it to minimize Batgirl and Supergirl or remove them all together
Yeah I am pro-Flash, pro-Snyder, and pro-Ezra
It's not the homosexual's fault WB wanted to go woke and add in Supergirl or whatever the frick.
Plus throughout this entire thing Ezra has remained loyal to Snyder and that says a lot
Also there was that screenplay Ezra wrote with Grant Morrison that I bet was probably x10 times better than the movie than we're gonna get but WB didn't want it.
anyone else think Ezra was raped and that’s why he’s so fricked up?
90% of lgbtq+ people were molested as children
so yes
In the name of Allah, I pray that Ezra Miller is struck down
why? he believes in beating women and treating them like dogs just like you muslims do
Perhaps, I was wrong about Mr. Miller. In the name of Allah, I hope he remains free to groom as many children as he wants
I'd still like to see a keaton movie with pfeiffer back as well.
I want to see Keaton used as he should have been in a fricking Batman Beyond movie. The people running WB literally have no idea what they had. The DCAU laid out a perfect blueprint of how these characters can all work and blend together.
I was thinking they wasted patterson without making him terry but would they ever cast a White man with that surname? They'd get roasted by morons on twitter
Terry is a Hapa anyway. Literally perfect opportunity to make a Canon Batman movie that includes Asians in a non pandering way and DC is making Batgirl and Duke Supergirl.
>Batman movie that includes Asians
The only time batman should interact with asians is when he punches them in opium dens
he is? i thought he was a clone of bruce wayne?
Half clone. He's like if a clone of Wayne fricked his mom. She's Asian.
His Mom didn't look Asian.
she will be
>The new Batman Beyond limited series, Beyond The White Knight, will explore Terry Mcginnis Asian-American heritage and make it canon. The Batman of the future. Terry McGinnis is officially half Asian and will be canon beginning in the upcoming limited comic series Batman: Beyond The White Knight.
>In the world of Beyond the White Knight, the future Batman's mother is Asian and his father Irish.
Oof. Make his Mom Asian, whatever. But race is going to be the focus now? Beyond The White Knight? Really?
His mom is red haired, you dumb homosexual. She’s Irish. You lying c**t. Piece of trash.
>but would they ever cast a White man with that surname?
McGuiness?
It's Irish
I didn't realize this was the 1800's and Irish aren't white
I had a brain fart and forgot it wasn't Magines or something
Anon, Twilight was 14 years ago. Terry is a 17 year old high school student, Pattinson is a 35 year old man.
yes. the problem is trying to bring keaton into the dceu as the mainline batman. he should exist in his own world, like patterson's the batman.
Would you watch it
I think capeshit should explode and die
No because if I wanted Batman Beyond I'd watch Batman Beyond.

>Oy vey it's definitely a cameo and not our shitty writing!
Keaton bros we waited too long! No one cares.
Bill Murray on suicide watch.
the test audience was confused because they were American
I wouldn't mind Keaton as Old Bruce but only if its part of Batman Beyond starring Terry (no fricking gender bending or using Damian). Also given that its Keaton, it would have to somehow stylistically bridge the Burton movies. But maybe Nolan and Bale will come back and do Beyond instead.
Batpat's movie was fricking boring. Seemed to be popular on Twitter but a box office meh as well.
Affleck honestly never had a fair shot and I think he deserves to do his own movie. He's also recovered tbh ever since he got back with JLo, man looks like a million bucks now.
>Affleck honestly never had a fair shot and I think he deserves to do his own movie
Funnily enough he actually has/will have the record for the most on-screen appearances as Batman in film. (He was gonna be tied with Keaton even more ironically, but the news of the last week changes it)
>BvS
>SS
>JL
>Flash
>Aquaman
Keaton:
>Batman 1
>Batman 2
>Flash
>Batgirl
yeah but he never got a solo movie or a competent script, but I think the background established for Batfleck + Affleck's love of the character could make for a pretty interesting solo film. I wouldn't have Snyder do it though
>but a box office meh as well.
I think it's because people are sick of serious grimdark movies from DC. I know I completely wrote off seeing The Batman because everything about the marketing made it look like the film took itself way too seriously. I only saw it in the theatre because I got dragged to it by a buddy of mine. I ended up really enjoying the film, but it does take itself a little too seriously.
Taking itself seriously wad the way to go. Tension completely deflates in other capeshit because they mock their own premise.
Batman is seen as a weirdo in the movie but not ceaselessly mocked, same with the villain
>but not ceaselessly mocked
But he is. Nobody fears him and everyone but the Riddler mocks him. No, even Riddler calls him dumb.
*was
>Taking itself seriously wad the way to go.
I agree, I just wish it had been a little more fanciful in the way Batman was portrayed, like having him use the cape to glide instead of the squirrel suit, and not having him be such a downer butthole as Bruce. But given that it's getting a sequel hopefully that stuff gets brought in. Also can we just get a proper comic book style batsuit? We came close with Batfleck in BvS.
>Nobody fears him and everyone but the Riddler mocks him
There's literally an opening montage of criminals shitting themselves at the sight of the Bat signal and being afraid to go near the shadows because they think Batman might be there. The only people that give him shit are the douchebag cops and other villains, which is accurate to the comics.
>There's literally an opening montage of criminals shitting themselves at the sight of the Bat signal
Then he shows up and everybody laughs and mocks him. That prologue seemed to be made for a completely different movie because it has no barring on the rest of it.
>Then he shows up and everybody laughs and mocks him.
Well this is early days for Batman, there are still gonna be idiots that make jokes, hell a good chunk of the thug dialogue in the Arkham Games are the thugs talking about how tough they are and how they aren't scared of Batman and could take him in a fight, only to shit themselves when you actually show up. So if they keep making the Battinson movies we should see more respect for the Bat.
As a 30+ yo boomer, i think the Keaton Batman love is way overhyped. Maybe if he was the definitive Batman like Reeves was for Superman, but he's not. They should just roll him out for a Batman Beyond movie, which makes so much sense its proof WB is moronic
i don't love his Batman i just like Keaton and hate sneedershit
That's cool, I like Keaton too and would much prefer him in the DC verse.
Now that Ben is married, he's seen as reliable again. Original plan was for him to be the Tony Stark of the DC verse.
>Now that Ben is married, he's seen as reliable again. Original plan was for him to be the Tony Stark of the DC verse.
it's amazing what true love does to a mfer
There are rumors saying that Ben Affleck now have a cameo in SHAZAM 2. What the frick?
IM ANGRY!!!!!!!
WB really needs to talk Bale into coming back as Batman.
Too expensive.
They don’t know who he is outside of Spider-Man. He hasn’t been Batman for thirty years.
Did he get nuts?
Keaton is IMHO the best Batman.
He is certainly the most convincing Bruce Wayne, his grounded acting gives him the edge (also why his Vulture was so great).
looking at the cast for this shitshow, it seems like it was filled with literal who diversity hires.
Honestly he's probably shit in the role
>Reduced presence in Flash, Affleck brought back at the last minute
>Aquaman 2 cameo cut in favour of Affleck
>Batgirl cancelled
Modern audience don't remember he was even Batman, let's face it.
Pretty sure the test screenings said he is actually quite good in Flash actually.
I heard he was corny and does nothing but quip and repeat lines from the past Burton's movies like "Let's get nuts" almost like William Dafoe did in No Way Home, but worse.
They brought Affleck in a month after they started filming, that's not something you do if things are going well
Affleck was going to be in the movie from the beginning, what are you even talking about anon
>Why zoomers hate Keaton so much?
short, bald, ugly, cant even turn his neck
This seems intriguing how do I get a gig as a test audience?
I've always wondered this too. I would most likely leak everything though
Years ago, I got a flyer for a test screening when I went to a poor movie theater.
Shazam 2 now has tons of references to the Snydercut as well now, and the rumors is that Affleck will film or filmed cameos for it.
>Shazam 2 now has tons of references to the Snydercut as well now
The trailer showed Snydercut footage, but that's just a trailer, it doesn't mean shit.
It means shit, because before Discovery WB wouldn't even promote the Snydercut on their social accounts.
And Jim Lee has confirmed that there are no plans for any future Snyderverse happening at DC or WB. Flash and Aquaman are still happening because the wheels were already in motion for those, Shazam is barely connected to the Snyderverse so it barely counts (you could have had a stunt guy put on the Reeve or Routh Superman suit for that cameo and it wouldn't have changed anything about the film). Hell by all accounts the Flash movie is doing Flashpoint specifically to remove the Snyderverse.
>And Jim Lee has confirmed that there are no plans for any future Snyderverse happening at DC or WB.
Jim Lee just knows shit about the publisher side and the publisher is pretty much about the shut down. Lee knows nothing.
Lee also said that the Snydercut wasn't going to come out 2 months before it was announced at DC Fandome.
Jim Lee doesn't know shit right now.
With Batgirl shitcanned, and Affleck having filmed those new scenes in Aquaman 2, I am fairly confident they're reworking the end of Flash so it's not a reboot and Keaton is just a side character like Reeves Superman and Supergirl is.
The movie itself is otherwise in line with Snyderverse since it makes several references to ZSJL, and Kal El only dies in the Keatonverse timeline so as long as they remove that scene with Barry and Arthur talking about Superman being a woman it leaves Cavill open to his future appearances.
>and Kal El only dies in the Keatonverse timeline so as long as they remove that scene with Barry and Arthur talking about Superman being a woman it leaves Cavill open to his future appearances.
Such a bullshit. It should have been Nic Cage's Superman. Can you imagine Cage in the movie finally playing his Superman? It would be weird, but cool as frick. WB doesn't even know how to do nostalgia references and easter eggs.
missed opportunity, especially considering Miller has mentioned Cage Supes being in the movie multiple times.
He already voiced Superman in one of the animated movies, so it sort of happened.
But Cage was going to play Superman in a project helmed by Tim Burton. If you want to add a Superman to the supposed "Keatonverse" that would be the proper and respectful way to reference and honor their past history. I'd love to see Cage together with Keaton.
>I'd love to see Cage together with Keaton.
I remember when they first cast Supergirl I said Cage should be the Superman of her universe. Cage would probably have played Superman for free. You're right and WB does not know how to build hype
I'm guessing people don't want their Batman to look like a fricking burn victim
>Confused and angry
Probably because it has some cringe, woke shit like Nuwars where the old, fan favorite white male passes the torch to the stronk woman
Why do people want the Snyderverse so bad? The films were all shit except for Aquaman and Shazam. Just let it die and give WB and DC a chance to try making better movies.
It has a lot to do with Superman. I don't remember this level of fandom towards Snyder until after he made Superman.
Superman fans a psychopaths.
Why not try to squeeze out a few bucks by releasing it on HBOMax?
Because that will make them far less than just writing it off
It was made for HBO Max to begin with.
>Keaton doesn't get the Last Jedi treatment
>Doesn't pass the torch to Blackgirl
>Doesn't get killed by Batfleck
He's still in the gay Flash movie with latinx Superxhe
reminder there’s an unironically a scene where The Flash gets nude and flashes his dick
>Doesn't get killed by Batfleck
literally the opposite of what was going to happen
>QUICK WE NEED A DISINFO SMEAR CAMPAIGN FOR DAMAGE CONTROL SO PEOPLE DON'T CRITICIZE US FOR CANCELLING HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FILMS (80 samegays on Cinemaphile don't count)
>in walks OP
>"i got the perfect idea, chuds"
>won’t see the return of Keaton because audiences are moronic
Sad!
Keaton is in The Flash though.
They definitely paid this homie Ben Affleck like 30 million for a 90 sec cameo
DCU has been shit since they let the hairdresser frick it up.
michael keaton is completely wasted on capeshit.
It sounds like they want to narrow the amount of DC universes to keep the mess under control.
Keaton’s movies suck. They only had good music and costumes, that’s it.
why didn't they just make flashpoint already
There havn't been any good DC films since Man of Steel. They should give up and reboot.
Only he is truly The Bat
This frightens and confuses zoomies
>BATMAN BEYOND
I'm just and normie but I remember how good the show was. It's amazing how Warner has such a minegold of ideas but they don't fricking know how to execute them.
Batman Beyond?
The Dark Knight Returns?
Welp, it is over for Keaton.
HOLY BASED
BATFLECK CHADS WE WON
that warehouse fight minus the crate bouncing was what i was looking for
The crate bouncing is the cherry on the top. It shows Batman fighting thugs using all his gadgets and add another level of brutality. He will literally use everything against you, even the very room itself.
meant the crate bouncing off the head not he was using the crate
You get him talking about how much he loves Ezra and slapping him on the ass instead
Frick, this reminds of that fricked up interview the cast gave about them fricking one another.
That was fricking weird.
Hypersexuality like this is a sign of sexual abuse.
>WB is too stupid to cast Keaton as Bruce in a Batman Beyond movie with someone as Terry
life is pain
It was a fricking layup too.
Whoever greenlit all those race and gender swaps needs to be executed
