Batman Returns! Michael Keaton in Talks to Play Bruce Wayne in ‘The Flash’ Movie (Exclusive)

 

This got me excited! Interesting to see where this goes.

When I saw this initially, I took it with a huge grain of salt.... but when I saw that Jett reported it on Batman-on-Film after putting out a teaser a week or so ago, I knew it was legit.  I am PUMPED about this.  Not that I expect Keaton to don the Cape and Cowl in anything he does in this or other DC films, but just having him as Bruce again would be great.  And with the Flashpoint story line, you can really go in any direction within the movie and with any future DC movie.  

 

Take my money right now!

IF this follows flashpoint in anyway then Keaton would be playing Thomas Wayne, but then again they could change it up and do whatever they want.  It would be a different spin on flashpoint but I'm up for it.

 

If WB is smart they'll use this to re-org and bring everything back inline so they can keep the DCEU going.  Hell, this could be a way to better explain the future Snyder Cut of JL to.

Marvel needs something like this to get rid of the crappy Iron Fist actor and keep everyone else. lol

I'm super excited to see Keaton come back. There's rumors of this opening up a Batman Beyond series, too.

Batman Beyond would be the long game at this point, we'll have to get a bunch of other movies first IMO.    It all hinges on if WB/DC can get movie viewers to accept the idea of the multiverse of if it'll go way over their heads.

Well, this was yesterday so I'm a little slow to report it but.  Ben is back as Batman for the flash movie.

If they do this right, and play big on the DC multiverse idea, then maybe at the very end flash could run into the younger RP version of batman we're getting?  Would be a nice way to bring him into the EU.  Then we'd just need MoS 2 to happen.
