Spoiler!

The Flash wakes up in an alternate timeline, where the Joker killed Bruce Wayne in the alley instead of his parents when Bruce was a kid. Thomas Wayne then becomes Batman instead of Bruce.

So it makes all the sense in the world that an older actor would be playing Batman in that movie, because he's literally Batman's dad.

The thing is that Keaton isn't being cast to play Thomas Wayne. He's being cast to play Bruce Wayne.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is supposedly in talks to play the Thomas Wayne Batman.

Did not spoiler this, as it's already been mentioned in the thread.
