I thought the whole point of casting The Comedian as Thomas Wayne was to do Flashpoint Batman. Although I'll totally take Keaton's return over that. I guess the implication here is that the Burton world was created by Flash? Hmm.

As far as I know, the Burtonverse is supposed to be treated as taking place in an alternate universe from the DCEU (Earth-89, according to the Arrowverse). I don’t know how the Flash traveling back in time is supposed to explain away the two universes meeting, though.

Ezra Miller's Flash came face to face with Grant Gustin's Flash in last year's CWTV DC crossover event.

John Wesley Shipp appeared as a 30-year-older version of his 1990s' Flash in the crossover event from two years ago.

And Michael Keaton's Batman in his 60s/70s doesn't have to be in the same universe as his Batman in his 30s/40s.

In fact, Batman Forever and Batman & Robin can be considered alternate mix-and-match universes unto themselves, with different Batmen and Harvey Dents but the same Alfred and Robin.

The way things have unfolded in the CWTV DC Universe, all of the live-action versions of National Periodical Publications/DC Comics superheroes and other characters from the 1940s on can exist in alternate universes, which is way better than ignoring them or saying they don't exist at all.

And this is true to the spirit of comic books in general, in which alternate and parallel universes and dimensions exist side by side.

It's all good!
