Summary

  • Keaton's Batman retired from protecting Gotham because he accidentally killed a criminal in front of their child, mirroring his own traumatic experience as a child.
  • The Flash movie failed to provide this crucial backstory, resulting in Keaton's Batman lacking depth and feeling like a superficial cameo.
  • The decision to exclude such a significant and tragic event from Keaton's Batman's past is baffling and undermines the potential for a more compelling character arc.
