Keaton’s Batman Return Ruins One Important Character For The Flash Movie

Michael Keaton's return as Batman in The Flash ruins the potential for one important character from DC Comics' Flashpoint storyline. 2023's The Flash is set to mark the end of the DCEU and will kick-start the development of James Gunn's new DC Universe. The movie is adapted from DC Comics' 2011 crossover series, Flashpoint, which saw Barry Allen, a.k.a. the Flash, travel back in time to try and save his mother but cause more catastrophe in the process. Flashpoint reset the DC Universe in the comics, just as The Flash will in the live-action franchise, but the trailer for The Flash has revealed a very different storyline from its comic source material.
In the comics, Barry Allen unwittingly creates an alternate timeline after trying to save his mother, who was murdered in the original timeline. In DC's Flashpoint world, Superman is a prisoner of the US Government, Batman is a much darker antihero, Barry himself doesn't have his powers, and Wonder Woman and Aquaman are at war with each other. It could have been assumed that this storyline would have easily been adapted into the live-action DC Universe, especially since most of the previous DCEU projects had been met with scrutiny for having dark tones, but the return of Michael Keaton's Batman throws a spanner in the works.
