Most of that probably went to Keaton to compensate for how they screwed him over!

Hey Mike, heres a cheque for the 50m you would've got had we done what we should've done: a full on Bat89 legacy sequel that wouldve grossed 1b

But yeah Keaton got massively screwed over; one minute he's being sold he's going to be the DCEUs new Batman (or Nick Fury) appearing in multiple movies and having him film cameos for Batgirl and Aquaman 2, the next he's one and done in The Flash with his end scene cut and replaced with the worst Batman!

Absolutely disgusting, a massive slap in the face. In all seriousness, I hope his contract did provide for some degree of compensation. I mean, he's been around long enough and he's clearly no fool. I'm sure his agent is the same. They know how fickle the business is, and how much 'promises' are worth.

C'mon Warners, you know you did him wrong! Do the right thing! Give Keaton a 3rd Bats solo! /|\ ^._.^ /|\

Unfortunately i doubt Keaton will be back as Batman, ever (even for the inevitable Crisis on Infinite Earths movie in about 5y)
