Keaton's Batman was in it most likely to lend the Batgirl character some legitimacy. No doubt he would've been cucked / denigrated multiple times throughout the film for being a hateful, misogynistic, privileged white man. Directed by a couple of Arabs, too. Forget that shit, I'm glad it's dead.
They are increasingly resorting to this. Star Wars, Bond, for example. Bring in an old legend of a white (or (((white)))) actor to be replaced by a female or brown lead.
Whatever though.
