simply titled it 'Batman & The Flash' or 'Batman Beyond The Flash' or "Batman & The Flash: Into The Multiverse"

basically calling it and promoting it as a Batman movie (like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice)

instead its not even expected to cross 300m ww:

‘THE FLASH’ crossed $260M at the worldwide box office.

The movie is not even expected to reach $290M by the end of its theatrical run making one of the biggest flops in CBM history.

They leaned so heavily into Batman for the marketing they might just as well have put him in the title! 😂

My favorite take on Batman has been Nolan’s, but I think what would have been much more interesting than putting Keaton into the Flash film would be to have Burton make a third film with Keaton.

That would have been the dream!

It was rumoured his appearance in Flash (plus his Batgirl, Aquaman 2 appearances as the new DCEU Batman) would've led to a 3rd Keaton Bat movie possibly Batman Beyond , obviously wont be happening now.

Or risk damaging batman franchise.

Or recast Ezra Miller with another non-binary actor

Why Non binary?

To retain the cultural integrity of the role.

[–] DoctorThirteen (15297) 2 years ago

The role isn't non-binary.

Sad though, because it's a highly enjoyable movie.

[–] DoctorThirteen (15297) 2 years ago

Absolutely.

It was fairly well established that Michael Keaton's Batman was in this movie. He appeared heavily in the trailer.

People knew Batman was in this. I don't see how putting his name in the title would've changed anything.
