Bad News, Keaton"s Batman Beyond Movie Depends On The Flash, Claims Kevin Smith

Those who have been wanting to see Michael Keaton in a Batman Beyond live-action movie have lost their chance once again as the idea was dependent on The Flash film's box-office numbers. One of the most popular live-action takes on Batman is finally back on the big screen as Keaton returned to the role in The Flash after having hung up the cape and cowl in 1992. Loosely based on Flashpoint, Keaton filled a similar role that Thomas Wayne's Batman did in the infamous DC Comics storyline after Barry Allen messed with reality.
It turns out that DC fans could have gotten more of Keaton as Bruce Wayne after The Flash, specifically in a spinoff that many have been fighting to see the actor star in for years. According to Kevin Smith during a recent episode of Fatman Beyond, the popular filmmaker spoke about having had conversations with a family member of long-time Batman producer Michael Uslan and what plans they had in mind for Keaton's Dark Knight after The Flash. If The Flash movie had done as well as The Batman's box-office did during its opening weekend, a Batman Beyond live-action would have happened with Keaton.

I was hoping that it did better than it did because Michael Uslan's kid said that...if the movie did as well as The Batman -- The Batman opened at $130 million -- one of the next Batman movies they're going to make is Batman Beyond with Michael Keaton. So I was like, 'Oh, my God, now I hope this movie makes a lot of money.'
