You know, Bruce Wayne's life is really complex.
Deadline has confirmed reports that Michael Keaton is in early talks to return to his role of Batman/Bruce Wayne for Warner Bros.' upcoming DC Extended Universe films.
According to the article, Keaton would reprise his version of Bruce Wayne "in a Nick Fury-like role starting with Warner Bros. The Flash starring Ezra Miller, and could continue to play the Dark Knight in other upcoming DC movies like Batgirl. Reportedly, the Keaton Batman won’t impact the mythology being hammered out by Matt Reeves’ reboot The Batman starring Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader, and it will pick up his story line after Batman Returns."
Reportedly, The Flash film, to be directed by Andy Muschietti, will feature elements of the Flashpoint storyline from DC Comics and introduce the concept of the multiverse involving alternate Earths similar to what was recently depicted in the CW Arrowverse crossover event Crisis on Infinite Earths. Presumably, Keaton's Batman/Bruce Wayne would come from one of those alternate Earths and be a character that connects various DC Universe superhero films to one another.
Keaton, 68, previously played Batman/Bruce Wayne in the films Batman (1989) and Batman Returns. His other films include Beetlejuice, Birdman, Johnny Dangerously, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Mr. Mom, Night Shift, Robocop (2014), Jackie Brown, Minions, Toy Story 3, Jack Frost, Multiplicity, Pacific Heights, and Clean and Sober. His television appearances include episodes of The Simpsons, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock, Frasier, King of the Hill, and The Mary Tyler Moore Hour.
The Flash is currently expected to arrive in theaters on June 3, 2022.
