Should The Flash have been a stand alone film instead of relying on Michael Keaton's Batman?

Yes- Batman 89 seems like a gimmick

No- It can't stand on its own

Everything about this production is backwards and wrong-headed. Including Keaton is the rotten cherry on top.

As much as I like Michael Keaton, having to cram in his Batman just shows Warner has no confidence in their movie Cheap fanservice and marketing ploy The Flash movie should be about The Flash

Yes cause the only reason people are interested in this movie is because of keaton coming back not because of millers flash.

I'll echo some folks in saying if it were not for 89 Batman returning, I'd be much less excited about this film. Instantly goes from a maybe I'll catch it on Netflix to day 1 in theatres.. Alternatively, they could have just made a Crisis/multiverse film and I would have watched it for Keaton.

Ezra Miller is annoying, Keaton Batman is the only reason I will even watch it.

But do you HAVE TO watch the movie then? Michael Keaton can't compensate for a bad The Flash movie since it should be about The Flash

Then the better option would have been to recast The Flash

For the mere fact that I can't stand Ezra Miller's Flash.

1.) The multiversal twists will help to differiate it from the now definitive CW Flash. 2.) This Flash actually had (imo) great chemistry with his Batman (Affleck), so pairing him with another makes some sense. 3.) Audiences were not sold on Miller's Flash, so Keaton will likely drive ticket sales.

Definitely Batman! I think this is because fans are used to Batman being more malleable, as Kane and Finger's Batman was a pretty basic, archetypal character that had an awesome motif. As such, the only real qualifiers are being someone who suffered a crime-related tragedy and stands against crime.

The idea that anybody could be Spider-Man is a quintessential characteristic of the core of the character, you can be rich, poor, black or white and still be Spider-Man, even Stan said that's why he wears a full face mask, so it naturally follows that he is the best legacy heroes ever created.

I feel like the point of Spider-Man is that anybody can be Spider-Man. Miles and Peter are different characters with their own upbringings. It’s not the same for Batman. Bruce Wayne IS Batman. Only Bruce can really understand what it means to be Batman on a more intimate, personal level in my eyes.

Honestly I believe that Miles is the best example and most successful example of a legacy character ever, in just a little over a decade he has been in animated TV shows, animated movies, and video games, and now a sizeable part of the fandom considers him THE Spider-Man.
