What if we let ourselves go and savor the news?
The agency ICM Partners has just confirmed that Michael Keaton will return as Batman in the movie
The Flash
.
Ironically, the more the 69-year-old comedian struggled to forget his interpretation of the batman, the more the two Batman films by Tim Burton (released in 1989 and 1992) ended up acquiring their letters of nobility.

By confirming his presence in
The Flash
, Michael Keaton finally assumes his unwavering bond with The Caped Crusader.
The new superhero film officially kicked off production in London on Monday, as revealed in an Instagram post by director Andrés Muschietti (director of the remake of
It
after Stephen King).
As the
Wrap
site announced a few months ago
, Keaton was in talks to return to the role of Batman after nearly thirty years of denying it.
He will therefore appear alongside Ezra Miller in
The Flash
.
This same Ezra Miller, who played the scarlet red superhero faster than his shadow in
Justice League
(released in 2017) takes on this role of Barry Allen, alias Flash.
According to the latest information, the Batman played by Keaton would have a role of mentor.
The Flash
will in any case leave aside the last two incarnations of Batman, a character created by Bob Kane.
In this case those of Ben Affleck and Christian Bale.
The plot therefore resumes just after
Batman, the challenge
.
Loosely adapted from the DC Comics
Flashpoint
comic book
(released in 2011), the story features Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) traveling through time to prevent the traumatic death of his mother.
By doing so, Allen inadvertently creates another universe protected by Michael Keaton's Batman.
The only downside, Keaton's reluctance to want to join the cast of the film reunited in England.
In an interview with the Deadline site last month, the actor expressed doubts about his coming to the set because of his concerns about the health crisis.
"To be honest with you, do you know what worries me the most about all of this?" It's the Covid
, Keaton said.
I keep a close eye on the pandemic situation in the UK. For me, the evolution of the situation in Great Britain will be decisive. Since the virus began, I have lived outside of town, staying away from everyone. Because the Covid problem really concerns me. It is therefore my priority. I do not want to start the flower with a gun, on a film shoot, and get myself stupidly killed by being infected! ”
