Michael Keaton's Batman is Officially Returning For THE FLASH
Good news is coming in from the DC Universe in the form of The Flash starting its shoot in London, and Michael Keaton’s Batman officially returning to play a role in the film. Last year, we got the news that Keaton was in talks to return to the role, but the actor was quick to let fans know that the part was not set in stone, and even a few weeks ago was playing very coy, telling Deadline, "we'll see what happens."
But The Wrap has now confirmed that after COVID concerns, Keaton ultimately decided to take on the role, and was able to join production this week.
Keaton joins Ezra Miller, who is reprising his role of Barry Allen/The Flash, as well as Ben Affleck, who is reprising his Batman. Kiersey Clemons is playing Iris West, Sasha Calle has been cast in the role of Supergirl, and Ron Livingston and Maribel Verdú are playing Barry’s parents. Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Derry Girls) and internet personality Rudy Mancuso have also been cast in undisclosed roles.
It is going to be so awesome to see Keaton once again in the cape and cowl. He was a great Batman, and it sounds like this is going to be a great movie from the Flashpoint comic series.
The Flash is set to hit theatres on November 4, 2022. Are you stoked?
