I appreciate the messages and all but, I don’t know how many people I’m going to have to tell…Michael Keaton is still in The Flash! He hasn’t been removed from the movie. Stop listening to clickbait rumors and just wait for Sunday.

Yeah, idk who’s saying that, but it’d be a whole different movie without Affleck or Keaton in it.pic.twitter.com/OayeBXALHf

As the rumors started about Michael Keaton’s Batman being scrapped from the film, fans started saying that they would not watch the upcoming DC film. However, some fans defended the co-CEO saying that the studio has not scrappedThe Founderstar’s part but has possibly altered the ending ofThe Flash.
They have supported the idea that Michael Keaton is still in the film. They even claimed that removing Keaton fromThe Flashwould not make sense as it explores the concept of the multiverse in the DCU.
The Flashis set to release on 21 June 2025.
