Keaton's portrayal of the character was critically acclaimed and influenced subsequent interpretations.[1] Both Keaton and Clooney reprised their roles in The Flash, which retroactively incorporates versions of them into two alternate timelines of the DCEU's continuity.[2] Keaton was also expected to reprise the role in Batgirl and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (the original ending of The Flash incorporating him into the main timeline of the DCEU's continuity) before the film's cancellation and scene deletion, respectively.[3]
