Keaton returning to Batman role

It's official. Michael Keaton, who played Batman in Tim Burton's films about The Dark Knight, will reprise the role in the movie The Flash. Director Andy Muschietti said in August that Keaton would return to the franchise, but Keaton cast doubt when he told Deadline he was worried about filming during the pandemic. The Flash is set for release Nov. 4, 2022. Keaton last played Batman in 1992's Batman Returns.
