Michael Keaton is in talks to return as Batman.
The Wrap says the actor, who last played the Caped Crusader 28 years ago, would appear inThe Flash movie, starring Ezra Miller.
But the publication cautions that talks "are in the very early stages" and it's "far from a sure thing."
Keaton first played Batman/Bruce Wayne in Tim Burton’s 1989 blockbuster and then reprised the role in 1992’sBatman Returns.
Production onThe Flash is expected to begin early next year.
Hot Takes:
- TheFlash movie is expected to introduce the idea of DC's multiverse, so Keaton's Batman could coincide withRobert Pattinson's.
- This isn't good news for R-Patz. Keaton could upstage him.
- Keaton will star in another superhero movie next year -- Marvel's Morbius, starringJaredLeto, who recently played the Joker.
