After nearly 30 years Michael Keaton is in talks to reprise his role as Batman in the Flash movie according to The Hollywood Reporter. Keaton who portrayed the Dark Knight in Batman and Batman Returns hasn't been seen in the DC movie universe since 1992.
The Hollywood Reporter says that the Flash movie will focus on time travel and inter-dimensional travel and Keaton could be featured as an older Batman on a parallel earth. The article also states that Keaton could be used as a "Nick Fury" type character that pulls strings in the DC movie universe.
Bringing back Keaton as Batman would be a brilliant move for AT and T and Warner Brothers. Since Ben Affleck left the role after Justice League, Warner Brothers needs a big star for the Batman franchise since they don't know how Matt Reeves "The Batman" will be received by audiences when it debuts in October 2021. Keaton's return could also be used as an extra added value element to gain more audience interest in The Flash theatrical release.
Michael Keaton may reprise his role as Batman after three decades in The Flash movie debuting in 2022. If this happens it could be a huge move for Warner Brothers and AT and T. As a fan of the original Batman movie, I hope this happens.
