"Along with his laughing cameo in the multiverse sequence, the Joker gets another reference when the younger version of Barry finds his laughing bag in Keaton's Batcave. Jim Gordon finds this bag on the Joker's body after the Clown Prince of Crime falls to his death in Batman (1989).  "

Hey thanks friend! Hmm, yeah, I clearly must've missed him in the multiverse sequence. Surprised Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman wasn't in there either.

I was hoping also for at least of mention of Pfeiffer's Catwoman... a photo of Bruce and Selina hanging in his office... a whip hanging in the Batcave... anything. 

Did anyone see Nicholson's Joker anywhere? According to wikipedia it was shot, but I didn't catch him anywhere other than the mechanical laughing-bag.

I did notice the Mars Attacks! poster as well. Does that mean Tim Burton exists as a director in that universe? 

I think it's important to note that these are just the two deaths we see. There isn't one true death for him due to the constant cycles, but perhaps hundreds, thousands or even millions depending on how long Dark Flash was running around.

Yeah, I took it kinda like how the did with Avengers Endgame... that there must've been one outcome at least maybe where Batman died and Kara didn't, or vice versa. In any case, I would've liked the Clooney cameo to have been replaced with Keaton. I think a more hopeful ending for his Batman would've been a better capper to the film, insinuating that Barry had arrived in a timeline where they did defeat Zod after all.

I was so worried Keaton would be treated as a joke, but I liked how they handled his death. I liked what he said to Barry right at the end. I have no complaints there. It was a nice send off, and I think the movie in no way took a dump (thankfully) on what Keaton and Burton had already established with their version of Batman.

What's interesting is that they clearly shot that scene at the end with Keaton first (on the courthouse steps) and then later scrapped it. I don't know if that was just a fun gag or what to include Clooney. I think Keaton probably will not appear as Batman again, so the filmmakers thought, well let's have fun with the ending now. The insinuation behind Clooney appearing made me think they're going to use him again in the future, but with the Gunn reboot I suspect this is the end for this version of the Flash.

I think my friend on facebook may have spoiled the end camero and I'm kinda annoyed about that. Plus people on some forums cant seem to be bothered using spoiler tags even with forums with spoiler threads. Also all the "ending explained" videos are coming out cause Europe is seeing it first so I am doing a social media block out for the next 24 hours

Yeah that sucks... I was watching a non-spoilery video about the movie on YouTube and someone dropped a massive spoiler in the comments. 

It's worth noting the Batfleck action scene on the bike. There's a particular section on a bridge that counts as one of the best cinematic Batman pieces of action as well in my book. It's very much in the manner of 'you don't stop Batman, you only temporarily slow him down'. A goon has a reaction equivalent to Bob The Goon as well - he made the smart choice after what I saw.

It's interesting... I found that scene to be unexciting. It wasn't the "wow" factor that I had hoped for Affleck's Batman even if he is one of my least favourite portrayals. But yeah, most people may feel differently about that scene. I did laugh at the "goon reaction" you're referring to. That was funny. Overall though I think it's worth seeing in the cinema even if it's a bit messy... I can't imagine anyone would walk away not being pleased with Keaton's part in it all.

It was an absolute joy to see him again. And his 1st scene in the movie totally answers the question of "how could a 70-ish year old Batman still have the goods?" haha... t

There were a couple of very minor Keaton-related gripes I had, and that's mainly because I think it could've been more subtle. The famous "wanna get nuts?" line from the trailer I think could've worked better if changed to "You guys wanna get nuts?" and still been close enough to connect it to the first movie. But again, if I'm griping about things like that, it's because I'm being so nitpicky after a 30 year absence. I think it's fair to say that if you subtract him from the movie completely, the movie wouldn't work as well as it does.

I don't like Ezra as a person but I can't deny he did a good job here, even if younger variant Barry is annoying. Which he's meant to be. The characters all have arcs and I can appreciate the growth they undergo. I'll have more to say as I let it go over in my mind. All in all, I do think The Flash is one of the better DC films.

I've always hated Ezra's Barry. Even before Ezra went crazy, I hated his casting. His Barry is way too goofy for me. It's much closer to Wally, but just an all-around bad Barry Allen.

Is he still ultra goofy in this? 

I saw the movie yesterday! Yes, the younger Barry is quite goofy in this. It works sometimes (I did laugh a few times) and other times it falls flat to the point of cringe. I don't want to give too much away, but I did feel like Keaton was absolutely the bright spot of the movie. I'm not sure if I'd watch the movie a second time, despite Keaton being fantastic in it. I did walk away smiling though... it was a real trip seeing him as Batman again after all these years.

The mini-featurette for "The Flash" has leaked again.

Anything showing Keaton?

That just made my decade.  You know, in my senior yearbook way back in 97 (*cough cough*) I said it was my ambition to make it through university with good grades, figure out what I want to do in life, and see Michael Keaton don the bat-suit one more time.  So, I'm prettttttty sure you guys have me to thank for speaking this into existence nearly 25 years ago.  Wink wink, nudge nudge.  ha!
