It seems the Flash movie will pull an Abrams' Star Trek and make old and new DCEU 2 different timelines co-existing. So Cavill Superman and Batfleck's lives will keep going in the original timeline, while in the new timeline created by Flash, Keaton was the DCEU Batman all along and Superman was... not explained and left vague?
In the "Flashpoint" alt. timeline, Shannon's Zod killed him as a baby and Kara is the only kryptonian survivor, trapped by the government and experimented on. I get someone can assume this plot element (baby kal-el killed) will carry over in the merged new timeline at the end. But it would make more sense if, in the new timeline, Superman is still around like Peacemaker's finale make us believe.
Don't seem to be clear from the screening leaks. Maybe it's not clear in the actual movie and the reports will keep being confusing. Maybe, WB has yet to figure it out. idk
Btw, the movie is still more than a year away and a lot can change via reshoots and editing.
So the same problem with doing reboots in DC comics is affecting the DCEU; 'some stuff are canon, some stuff aren't and for the parts that don't fit anymore, well don't think about it too hard, just wait till the next reboot'.

Uh, the bane of my existence.
I still remeber reading Superman Rebirth and having my main character magically replaced by a similar-but-quite copy of himself in the middle of the story.
That being said I'm rooting for Supergirl, so I really hope this doesn't affect the perception of Sasha's character negatively. Let's have a fresh start and try to keep it consistent from then on.
You were talking about making an Iron Man film with Tony Stark as an old man. The difference is Tony was and still is a force at Marvel, while Ted hasn't been for a very long time. Even at his peak at DC, where would he have ranked? Having said that, had Marvel decided to go with a POC Iron Man, as their first cinematic attempt, old Tony would have been indeed old Tony.
