  • This movie would’ve followed a retired Batman/Bruce Wayne, played by Michael Keaton, mentoring Batgirl/Barbara Gordon, played by Leslie Grace

  • J.K. Simmons would’ve returned to play his respective role of Commissioner Gordon, the father of Barbara Gordon

  • This movie would’ve taken place after the events of ‘The Flash’ where a new timeline would’ve started and Michael Keaton would take the rightful spot of Affleck’s Batman

  • The movie was cancelled for numerous reasons, not only because of Ben Affleck returning as Bruce Wayne/Batman in ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’

  • It was also mainly because of ‘Warner Bros. Discovery’ taking over


How I would’ve done it

  • Forever, people have been petitioning and hoping for Michael Keaton to return as a retired Bruce Wayne in a live-action ‘Batman Beyond’ movie, just like in the animated series

  • Instead of a ‘Batgirl’ movie, it would’ve been the best opportunity to make a Batman Beyond movie

  • For Affleck’s Batman, I would get him to return, but they both get separate timelines so Affleck can be in his own universe and Keaton’s Batman continues being the retired Bruce Wayne/Batman

  • I would cast the long-rumored and considered choice Dylan O’Brien for the role of Terry McGinnis

  • Especially given both their chemistry in 2017’s ‘American Assassin’
