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’
