An even crazier ending wouidve been..


Adam West

Imo it would've been better than Bale (who apparently refused) or who we got, yehClooney was fun but he's not that known as Batman unlike West who is almost like the Christopher Reeve of Batman (sorry Michael!) and would been so 'out there'/unbelievable/funny audiences would've gone nuts (which the film was). and taken the DCEU back to the beginning of the live action Batman/DC universe..

Obviously would've required CG/deepfake West around similar age 50s (just a glimpse of him as Barry goes 'WTF is this?!' no interaction like there was), and Wests cameo in the multiverses scene wouldve had to be cut, and it'd raise the question of how BatWest is alive and in his 40s in present day 2023 but couldve just been explained away by fans with Keatons cooked spaghetti timetravel/multiverse mess theory

No lets keep the 66 Batman away from the stink of these films. It was bad enough that the Arrowverse had 66 Robin in it and subsequently killed his planet off.... 😏

This movie is not about the Multiverse, everything happens in the same universe. This movie is about Hypertime (multiple time lines crossing each other).

I get what you're saying, although the Batman's not all looking the same despite all being Bruce Wayne, and the Superman's not all looking the same despite all being Clark Kent, makes more sense as a mulitverse than just alternate timelines. I feel there's a blurring of the two concepts in this movie.

I think it was good as is.

The CGI didn't look great. But for me, it was okay for the scene it was in. Showing other dimensions with dodgy CGI at least had another worldy quality, which unintentionally fit in with what was happening in the film.

For the last scene/joke of another Batman appearing, you needed it to be played by a real actor.
