The multiverse has arrived…
Breaking news this evening as The Wrap has revealed that Batman (1989) and Batman Returns actor Michael Keaton is in talks to return to the role.
Talks are said to be in the very early stages with no guarantee that Keaton will, in fact, make it to the screen. The news has been backed up by a number of other outlets to have heard the same news from sources within the production.
CONFIRMED: Michael Keaton is in talks to play Bruce Wayne in THE FLASH and potentially beyond, including movies like BATGIRL. The character may be positioned like a coach/mentor, similar to the way Nick Fury is used in the MCU.

At this stage it seems that Keaton’s role could potentially take over from Ben Affleck, making him the Batman of the DCEU continuity with appearances in a number of other Bat-related projects.

The Flash is currently dated to hit cinemas on July 1, 2022.
