...why? This isn't some kind of "Vader's Lukes dad/Bruce Willis was dead the whole time/its his sled" type information. Its a 2 second CGI cameo of a 1960s batman actor.

The Flash is flopping worse than the harshest critic's wildest imaginings. They held back the finished movie for years, hoping the Ezra Miller thing would blow over, and in the meantime, a bunch of other Multiverse movies got filmed, released and beat them to market. Hilarious.

Remember when Michael Keaton passed on doing a third Batman movie because he was concerned with it's quality. Now he's appearing in this trash so don't assume another Batman movie infested with CGI written by a focus group of AI brained faggots would be anything but a shit show.

Agreed but it's sad to see great actors like Keaton sell out for a few more mil to star in these green screen abominations.

He could have done it because it genuinely seemed fun. Plus sometimes actors don’t know a thing will flop.
Sounds like he gave a good performance?
I’d sell the fuck out for Batman money. It’s not like Keaton was known for a principled stand against low brow film. What, exactly, is he selling out?

Never forget the masterful acting job he did in Multiplicity

lol @ complaining about actors selling out. Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Al Pacino, De Niro, Meryl Streep the list goes on. Once these people get to a certain point in their career they just don't care anymore. Their past work speaks for itself. It's more about getting paid and having a bit of fun.
You think Samuel L. Jackson feels like he's compromised his career or "sold out"? Fuck no. That dude will be in damn near anything.
The only true sellouts are people like Kevin Hart and Adam Sandler.
Now go watch Birdman you fucks.

Wait a minute, how is Sandler a sellout? He's stuck exactly to what brought him to the party.

I already explained this. Keaton passed on Batman Forever because he didn't like the direction they were taking with the character and was not willing to do the movie even though he was presumably offered a larger sum of money than previous installments. That's called artistic integrity and any actor appearing in these recent comic book cinematic abortions that previously claimed to be picky about what they appeared in is selling out.

For Schumacher, Keaton’s idea of Bruce Wayne was too dark.

Anthony Hopkins basically said the same thing about him being in Thor. I think “no acting required” is how he referred to it.

Keaton passed on Batman 3 out of solidarity to Burton. He said he was more than happy to do it if Burton remained director.

alright. I went to see Flash.
The CG is not great. That is well known at this point. It doesnt detract from the film too much, but they should have stylized the CG instead of aiming for pseudo realism. It's not as bad a Modock, but it aint great. I don't think anyone is going to talk about this movie and not mention the CG, which is kind of a shame. The vast majority of scenes are excellent CG, but it falls apart whenever a human's face is involved. It's weird in that some scenes even impressive, and others look like a PS4 game. I'm sure this has to do with how the film industry contracts out special effects, but it's not helping this movie.
The story is pretty damn good for DC. This is probably one of the best put together DC movies. It manages to cover an origin story without being an origin story, which my wife greatly appreciated. She knows nothing of the Flash. Ezra is a good actor when they are not being crazy IRL. Keaton was a beast, and I would not consider this selling out at all. It was a great reprisal of the role, and suited the move well. Im generally cautious with movies that play with time, but this one handles it well.
Set expectations low, have a good time.

I think there were probably multiple reasons Keaton quit Batman. Everyone quits those jobs.
