Michael Keaton in Batman. – Rex / Richard Shotwell / AP / SIPA
The rumor has been going around for weeks, months, the film The Flash Andrés Muschietti would see the world’s fastest superhero fight alongside Batman… and Batman. Indeed, Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton would resume their roles of vigilante together, thus opening the door to the DC multiverse. While there is no official announcement yet for Ben Affleck, filming has just started and… Michael Keaton is in the cast! The actor hesitated for a long time because of the Covid, but the American site
TheWrap had confirmation from his agency that he was participating in the project.
Michael Keaton therefore puts on the Batman costume again, 30 years after the two films directed by Tim Burton. Why ? Freely adapted from comics Flashpoint, the new film sees Barry Allen, still played by Ezra Miller, travel back in time to avoid the death of his mother, and accidentally create a parallel universe protected by an aging Batman.
