Michael Keaton as Batman in The Flash
The Michael Keaton Batman movies have led to numerous sequel and spinoff properties, taking place in as many as 4 different DC Universes. Critically, commercially, and culturally, 1989’s Batman was a huge success for DC and Warner Bros, cementing itself as a pop culture phenomenon and leaving a lasting impact on how major blockbuster films are marketed. The film’s 1992 sequel, Batman Returns, did not reach the same soaring heights as its predecessor, at least initially.
Joel Schumacher's Batman Movies Were The Original Sequels Close The controversial reception to Batman Returns led Warner Bros to take the Batman films in a more family-friendly direction, and thus Joel Schumacher replaced Tim Burton. Schumacher’s two films – Batman Forever and Batman & Robin – are arguably more comic-accurate than Burton’s films, but their more lighthearted tones and intentional camp resulted in poorer receptions than the Burton duology.
Related Everything That Happened To Harvey Dent After Tim Burton's Batman Billy Dee Williams was set to play both Harvey Dent and Two-Face in 1989's Batman, but what happened to his character after Tim Burton's films? The Flash ends with Keaton’s Batman dying in battle against General Zod’s Kryptonian extremists and then having his timeline erased when Barry Allen repairs the timeline. Fascinatingly, The Flash was initially going to end with the DCEU remaining a hybrid of the pre-Flashpoint timeline and the Burton Batman universe.
