That was just announced and if they adapt the ruined timeline closely that would indicate Jeffery and Lauren could very well return as Batman and Joker.
Although we must note that Flashpoint Joker didn't get much time in the actual comic, rather expanded in a tie-in comic. But seeing as how Lauren is fairly well known and that version of Joker is too compelling to pass up I'd bet they'd give her more time in a movie.
The bigger implications is what happens after this story, as it altered DC in a huge Crisis-like scale both in-universe and for expanded media going forward. I half joked that if all those DC movie suck, if JL especially doesn't maintain WW's momentum, Flashpoint is their get out of jail free card. They will absolutely use it to scrub the movie universe the same way Days of Future Past or Abrams Star Trek did; a 'Canonized Reboot'. Probably why it's been pushed so far back behind projects it is clearly farther along in production than.
