Part 7/9:
The movie’s ending sequence appears to serve multiple purposes: a fun nod to fans of old Batmans, a throwback to the multiverse concept, and perhaps a strategic move to tease future projects or refresh the franchise’s image. Warner Brothers may have intended the scene as a gag to entertain rather than to provoke plot-driven shock value.
It’s important to consider the context: for some fans, Clooney’s appearance might seem like a throwaway gag, but for others, it hints at the broader multiversal narrative Warner Brothers wants to explore post-The Flash. Notably, James Gunn has publicly distanced himself from Clooney as the future of Batman, suggesting that this cameo is more of a cameo-than-part of a larger plan.
