Allegedly. The run time of the entire film was about an hour and 40 to an hour and 15 minutes.

And that there was good action and good set pieces. But Michael Keaton was not in a majority of it. He was a supporting role,

and his role would have been a retired Bruce Wayne Batman, which is why Batgirl takes on the identity.

He then would essentially come out of retirement to help her out and kind of guide her

because he sees that Gotham needs help and he can't do it anymore. So he was sprinkled throughout the film as Bruce Wayne and then at the end as Batman,

sort of helping the heroes find their footing and still trying to maintain some sort of contact with all of them in the DCEU,

but also not getting directly involved. And it sounds like there definitely would have been more connections to the bigger Batman universe.
