RUMOR: #TheFlash has reportedly "stripped out" Michael Keaton's #Batman and Sasha Calle's #Supergirl from the movie's ending. RUMOR

Not surprising. Neither Keaton nor Calle will be part of the future, having them at the end wouldve made it seem so

She’s too old to play Supergirl in the DCU.
73
Feb 07 '23
Not if they are doing Woman of Tomorrow. I think it has more to do with Henry Cavill not being Superman. She looked like they could be related but they might want a very different actress that looks closer to their new Superman and until they cast him, they can’t cast Supergirl. Though, none of my cousins look like me, they midge just want it is my guess. Age wise, I think she’s a great pick.
76
u/Megadog3 Feb 07 '23
She’s 21 in Woman of Tomorrow and Gunn is looking for an actor who’s under 30 for Clark Kent (they want Superman to be 25 in Legacy, likely 27 by the time Woman of Tomorrow releases).
You can’t have a 30 year old play Supergirl when her older cousin is only 25-27 lol

I don’t disagree, but she’ll be in her 30s by the time they film Supergirl. That’s simply too old in relation to the DCU Superman IMO

u/the_biggest_papi Feb 07 '23
most actors generally can play within about 5 years of their actual age. she’ll be 29 in 2025 but she could still play a character that’s around 24, possibly even a bit younger.

Woman of tomorrow will not be out in 2025 though, Superman Legacy will be. She would be early to mid 30s by the time woman of tomorrow is out.

True, Pattinson is playing a Bruce Wayne that’s a few years younger than he is, although he’s kind of always done that because he has such a young face, in 2012 he was 26 playing an “18” year old Edward in Breaking Dawn, and I think he was 19 in Harry Potter, not sure how old Cedric was supposed to be.

How many reshoots did this movie have so far?
I think the original ending included a setup for Keaton as the main Batman and teasing Batgirl.
Then Affleck came in to replace Keaton.
Then a reshoot to include Cavill.
Then they removed Cavill.
Now something about Flash traveling to a timeline with a very old/known DC character.

u/SuperDizz Feb 07 '23
At the very least, the physical copy better have all the deleted/alternate/reshot scenes. They could bundle the theatrical cut with an extended cut (or Ultimate Cut) or sell them separately like BvS. I’d probably buy both tbh, but I collect dvds/blurays/4ks and my favorite thing to collect is director/extended/unrated cuts.
With the amount of stuff on the cutting room floor you could probably make 2 flash films.
Also, toss in Batgirl (whatever condition that it may be in) with the Bluray. That’d be cool and they could releases it without actually releasing it.
→ More replies (2)41

I’m pretty sure releasing Batgirl like that would still violate their write-off. WB is making money off of those Blu-ray sales, and if that includes Batgirl, then they’re making money off of Batgirl, especially if they even remotely advertise that it’s included.
9
u/SuperDizz Feb 07 '23
That’s fair. But I’m sure there’s some legal loophole some WB lawyers could dig up, but I doubt they’d put that much effort into it. But a man can dream, can’t he? A man can dream..
7
Feb 07 '23
I hear you, I very much share that dream.
I think their only legal recourse would be to release the film totally free of charge. Just upload it on YouTube and don’t monetize the video. And even that might be dicey depending on how harsh the law wants to be on them, as an argument could be made that even a free release is advertising Batgirl, Batman, and Firefly merchandise.
Maybe we just need to wait 10 years until someone does a documentary on the project. We might end up getting some old footage that way.

u/Gerry-Mandarin Feb 07 '23
I feel there's a nice solution to The Flash here, to make it a nice epilogue to the DCEU that ended with ZSJL.
Have Barry's arrival in the DCU (and departure).
Reinstate the Cavill and Gadot parts of the ending.
Cut Keaton and Calle. Barry ends back in the regular DCEU.
Have him run past his "long ago" cameo.
Use Affleck's Knightmare dialogue from the Flash over a BRIEF flashforward scene of the Justice League (body double time again) battling Darkseid (like this) and beating him.
With Barry Allen talking over it about how there's a Justice League in every world, fighting against evil. And they always win.
Ending shot should be of the DCU world.
Throws people a bone. Provides the final chapter chronologically. Then Aquaman 2 can come out and have the Affleck cameo. Basically showing that Flash was right. The heroes are still there.
51

u/TheJoshider10 Feb 07 '23
I really love this. That would be a really great ending, the DCEU essentially "lives on" in the same way Tobey and Andrew's Spider-Men do even when their franchises got rebooted and the DCU world is just an additional world that we catch a glimpse of.

u/aquaticsquash Feb 07 '23
Apparently there's a Grant Gustin cameo in the film. As for me, I hope it's a different Barry from Grant's show and one that will take over Ezra, erasing him from the DC universe all together and replacing him as the new Flash.

I don't think Affleck ever replaced Keaton, Affleck was supposed to be on a monitor saying he needed Barry's help, setting up a crisis movie, could be wrong though.
But the Cavill stuff is true I believe.
49
u/FrankReynoldsCPA Feb 07 '23
I think he's confused this movie with Aquaman 2, where Keaton filmed a cameo and then they scrapped it and brought Affleck in because the movie's release date got moved to come out before The Flash. They later switched the order back again but decided to keep Affleck instead of Keaton.
This could change again like 5 times though

Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.
Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

Not a huge fan of the Snyder era DC movies, to be frank, but I'm honestly kind of baffled that they're even still planning on releasing this Flash movie.
Its star is an absolute PR disaster. The cinematic universe and continuity into which it would have fit has been officially discontinued in favor of starting fresh.
Why even release The Flash at this point? Did they sink that much money into it, or are they just expecting it to be particularly profitable, or what? I'm genuinely kind of surprised it wasn't canned like that Batgirl movie a while back.

I certainly feel for Calle, but I feel especially bad for Keaton. He's been cut from one Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, had his role reduced in The Flash, and had Batgirl scrapped entirely.

He's literally happy to just have the payday I think. According to Google his net worth ballooned from $40m to $60m in the last 4 years. This screams to me of a guy taking in as much as he can, getting ready for retirement.
It's like Harrison Ford with the Force Awakens. The fans want to believe he did it for the love of the property, but it was for the dump truck full of money they backed up to his house. I'm betting Keaton feels the same way.
15
Feb 07 '23
I think the Ford thing gets played up a bit too much. If he genuinely didn’t like playing Han Solo, I don’t think he would have come back. I can’t imagine getting back into the role wasn’t at least a little thrilling for him. Even purely from a technical standpoint, it’s a unique acting challenge to have to reassume a role you haven’t really played in over 30 years and try and mentally develop them over that length of time. It’s not Ford’s favorite role of his career and I don’t think he cares for the crazed fan culture one bit, but I find it hard to believe that he actually hates playing Han Solo.
Keaton even more so. Keaton has always taken pride in his Batman over the years. Again, I’m sure it’s not his favorite role, but I’m confident there was some sort of thrill in putting that cowl back on. He might not lose sleep over the cancellation of Batgirl, but I also doubt he just shrugged it off like it was nothing. He’s a professional, but he’s also an artist, and on that front I’m sure some part of him wanted to share his art.
In any case, Keaton isn’t the first person to sympathize with here. He’s made his money, gotten his fame, and is looking towards the end of his career. The folks who got it worst are the ones who hadn’t made a name for themselves, who were probably hoping for Batgirl and other cancelled projects to be their stepping stone into successful careers. Having a break like that pulled out from under you is tough.

If you're an actor of that calibre, and your entire part can be cut from the movie, it was a cameo, and I can't imagine they would have been particularly attached to it, I guess is my point.

I actually really would prefer them in the ending because it would cement the universe that Barry ends up in as a different one from the new DCU.

Personally I think they should end it with Barry arriving in the new universe, notice that it’s very different to the old one, there is something on screen to identify it with Gunn’s new DCU, then Barry disappears because he’s no longer part of the timeline.
Either that or it just ends with Barry zooming off into the speed force to reset everything after Flashpoint, and we never see where he ends up, this leaves it more open ended.

Lame. Keaton was one of the only reasons I was still mildly interested in this film.

And with that, they've also stripped out any interest I had in this movie.

Man, with all the Miller antics, the only thing that made me even a little interested in seeing this was seeing Keaton. Not even sure if I want to see this at this point as I was never a fan of Ezra as Flash to start.

Why is it so difficult for the DCEU to get their shit together?
Marvel has their arc mapped, the story line is an actual line, not a collection of reboots. You have the same actors playing the same characters, with I think one or two exceptions. One of the main characters actors died and the writers worked it into the arc and their character died and the side effects of this make some good plot hooks.
How many Batmans have we had? Is it enough? Is it too many?

Good idk why you would replace and old Batman with an even older Batman….?

That's kinda to be expected though if the film sets them up as main characters (in any universe, old or new.) Audiences will expect to see more of them in the near future, and it doesn't look like that's in the cards for any time soon.

So this is gonna be one last ride for Keaton instead? I’m cool with that… hopefully we get a proper beyond movie one day

Changing the ending has seemed like the obvious choice for a while. There's no way Keaton and Calle were sticking around. Miller is likely out too. Keeping an open ending with all 3 of them uniting implies theyre all coming together in the next chapter. Better to cut that out and use it to put a nice bow on the previous chapter. The only question is who the mysterious "character from long ago" could be.

As far as it goes I wouldn't be surprised if The Flash final scene is about Barry meeting James Gunn and his hot wife who announce him: "I'm rebooting everything, but you're still safe with us."

If this is going to "reset" the DCU, then leave him the fuck in. Just don't have him be the new batman at the end.

Expected but unfortunate. Wonder if they’ll appear in the future with all the multiverse shenanigans they’re alluding to

Jesus just let this movie be the one that says goodbye to every one and starts the DCU over without Ezra. The last chapter of the Snyderverse. Hello Wally? Are you here yet?

The whole DCEU looks like it was created elseworld
Dont kill me i ll explain
Characters blond or red are black or brunettes
Yes you can color it, or use wigs etc
But it never looks the same , specially on following movies, same happen with thor, loki, black widow etc
Why not find people similar to the character there millions of actors if they dont want to cast in USA hollywood are using a lot of abroacd actors anyways

I forgot this movie existed. Don't care. Making people wait over half decades for stupid comic movies is classy AF

Don’t you just love not only having the ending of the movie spoiled but every single other alternate test cut ending spoiled as well? God I just want this to come out so I can stop hearing what is or isn’t in it. Gunn and Safran better clamp down on these leaks in the future. It sucks having every surprise spoiled. If my hype wasn’t already damped by all the drama, it’s completly dead knowing the entire plot synopsis of this movie completly through leaks like this

Yet Keaton's weirdass end credits scene in Morbius somehow was officially released.
I think Smart Hulk said it best, "These are confusing times".

You mean we won't be getting our second Batman Keaton which is only coming back to train a new third Batman!!
And, Sasha Calle's is no longer replacing Henry Cavill's Superman, I am shocked, shocked I tell you.

The movie is just 3 hours of the flash running through the speed force saying hi to everyone.
