Along the way, the movie will also revisit the Gotham City of the Tim Burton era and all the easter eggs that likely come with that blast from the past.Īt the very least, it sounds very different from what Keaton was doing with the role in the ’90s when, after just two movies, he decided to exit the franchise to pursue other things. “Creative” would be one word for what looks like a DC multiverse-shattering adventure that will see The Flash (Ezra Miller) team up with Keaton’s Batman, Ben Affleck’s Batman, Supergirl (Sasha Calle), and a Barry Allen from an alternate timeline to stop an unknown threat. And why would you not? You know, I mean, director Andy Muschietti is fantastic, and it’s really creative. ![]() “There’s no reason to do it if it’s not good. “It has to be good,” Keaton said of the script. ![]() They wanted to talk to me about something and there were hints of Batman.”īut Keaton said that it was ultimately the script, which was penned by Birds of Prey and Batgirl scribe Christina Hodson, that truly convinced him. It sounds like Keaton started thinking about what playing a much older Batman would be like even before WB gave him a call: “I thought, ‘Boy, what would that be like?’ And then, coincidentally, there were murmurs, and I got a call from Warner Bros. But times, and feelings, change.īut still, the question lingers: why did Keaton decide now was the right time to return to the Batcave he abandoned 30 years ago? On The Jess Cagle Podcast With Julia Cunningham, Keaton finally explained what convinced him to come back. This is a bit unexpected, to say the least.Īfter all, Keaton, who went on to star in many other classics, including Birdman, in which he arguably played a character partly based on his own post-Batman life, spent decades dodging questions about the Caped Crusader - or flat out saying he wasn’t interested in ever revisiting the character.

But what’s old is new in the Marvel world, and there’s a new report that claims Molina will reprise his villainous turn as Doc Ock in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 3.
