Michael Keaton might be very close to donning the cowl again as the Caped Crusader in an upcoming DC superhero movie.
The 68-year-old actor is reportedly in talks to reprise his role as Bruce Wayne/Batman in the Warner Bros. movie “The Flash” starring Ezra Miller, who played the character in “Justice League,” according to The Wrap.
Keaton famously played the Gotham City hero in Tim Burton’s 1989 film, “Batman.” The outlet reported that the actor could also be featured in other upcoming DC titles as well.

The Golden Globe winner also starred in Burton’s 1992 sequel, “Batman Returns,” and dabbled in the Marvel Cinematic Universe playing the villain in the 2017 movie, “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” with Tom Holland.
