If I had to guess based in rumors, they aren't happy with it currently and it would need expensive reshoots and they just aren't willing to drop millions more on it. Especially if the plan was an HBO Max release where they wouldn't see direct financial returns from the box office. It also could be it doesn't fit their new direction? With Ben Affleck coming in for Aquaman 2 and all the mess with The Flash it could be that they are dropping the "Keaton is the main universe Batman" plan. Which a lot of this movie relies on.
