Between this or nothing, I'd rather take nothing.
Keaton's career has been on a bit of a comeback over the past half decade, and it's been nice seeing him return and standing on his own two feet. He deserves it.
But going back to the role that made him famous just makes him look desperate, especially since artistry over money was the reason he left the role in the first place. His original Batman movies stand nicely apart from the other series (Nolan, Snyder, etc.), and I wish they would just leave them that way.
All of that is in addition to the fact that a "multiverse" idea is a terrible, comic-booky, gimmicky idea that maybe comic book fans have no issue with, but general audiences aren't going to care about and will probably be confused by. It's extra baggage that takes away from a movie's ability to tell its own story. General audiences can handle reboots just fine - having alternate universes is just confusing and unnecessary and a real turn-off.
I swear, WB seems incapable of learning the lesson that they are being taught over and over....what makes DC movies shine is when they're not doing the Marvel, extended universe, comic book thing. I wish they would stop trying to copy a formula that frankly isn't suited to their characters or settings.
