A piece of the article learn, “To make all the story lines work, DC Films will introduce movie audiences to a comics concept known as the multiverse: parallel worlds where different versions of the same character exist simultaneously. Coming up, for instance, Warner Bros. will have two different film sagas involving Batman — played by two different actors — running at the same time.”
The “two different film sagas” steered to the readers that there’s going to be yet one more Batman franchise. Brooks took to Twitter to make clear that he was referring to the upcoming Flash film the place a number of actors, together with Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck, will play Batman.
He tweeted, “Been offline (moving apartments) and return to see this Michael Keaton craziness. I was referring to the *one film* that Keaton has been announced as being in, not a set of his own Batman films. If I had info on him beyond “The Flash,” I might have clearly put it in my article.”

Been offline (shifting flats) and return to see this Michael Keaton craziness. I used to be referring to the *one movie* that Keaton has been introduced as being in, not a set of his personal Batman movies. If I had data on him past “The Flash,” I might have clearly put it in my article

It’s inclusive in the sense that it is saying all that you’ve seen exists, and everything that you will see exists, in the same unified multiverse.”
