Earlier in the present day, we obtained some wild, sudden information – Michael Keaton is reportedly in talks with Warner Bros. to reprise his function as Bruce Wayne in quite a few upcoming DC films, starting with The Flash. This might be the primary time Keaton has performed the Darkish Knight since 1992’s Batman Returns and the primary main cross-franchise crossover within the DCEU. Nevertheless it wouldn’t be the primary time that Miller’s Flash and Keaton’s Batman have been proven to share continuity.
I’m talking, in fact, about The CW’s mega crossover occasion “Disaster on Infinite Earths,” which tied collectively numerous DC display screen franchises into the identical multiverse. The Arrowverse miniseries’ first episode opened with a montage of varied Earths being affected by the Anti-Monitor’s Anti-Matter wave. One was Earth-89, the place we caught up with Alexander Knox (Robert Wuhl) witnessing the skies above Gotham turning pink. That informed us this was the Earth of Keaton’s Batman.
In episode 4, among the best surprises of “Disaster” occurred when Grant Gustin’s Flash encountered Miller’s Scarlet Speedster within the Velocity Drive. We didn’t get an official designation for it, however this confirmed that the DCEU Earth can be a part of the identical multiverse as all of the others, together with Earth-89. What’s extra, Miller’s Flash is now conscious of the existence of the multiverse, which might show key to his hopping over to different Earths in his personal film.
“Disaster” informed us that the Batman was nonetheless working in Gotham within the current day, although followers have famous that the Bat-signal depicted on this scene resembled Terry McGinnis’ Batman image. May Keaton’s cameo in The Flash contain Barry Allen touring to Earth-89 and encountering a retired Bruce who’s mentoring Terry as his alternative, as in Batman Past? Now that we all know every part is really related, it doesn’t appear that far-fetched.
