Michael Keaton has been spotted behind the wheel in Bruce Wayne’s car in the latest image from the set ofThe Flash. It’s been previously reported that Keaton will reprise his role from Tim Burton’sBatmanmovies forThe Flash, and we recently got our first look at the actor in character as Bruce in photos taken from the set. While it’s not quite as impressive as the actual Batmobile, it’s still fun to see Keaton’s Bruce seated in a car that only he can afford, and you may take a look at the photo below.
There are rumors that Keaton’sBatmanis going to stick around for a while followingThe Flash. He could end up appearing in a recurring role throughout various movies in the DCEU moving forward, similar to Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury in the MCU. Given the immense excitement from fans surrounding his return to the role inThe Flash, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Warner Bros. trying to include Keaton’s Batman in as many other projects as possible.
This also means we’ll be seeing at least two different Bat-men inThe Flash. The movie is set in theDCEU, which has previously established Ben Affleck’s version of the Dark Knight, and the actor is on board to reprise the role. This will allow for a way for Affleck to give his incarnation of Batman a more proper sendoff while opening the door for Keaton to take over as the DCEU’s new Batman.The Flash’s storyline about Barry Allen altering his timeline through time travel lends itself to multiple incarnations of one character in the same movie.
In an Instagram post shared earlier this month, director Andy Muschietti posted an image providing our first look at the Batsuit inThe Flash. The image only revealed theBatman logo on the chestplatewith the old-school yellow background, though there seemed to be some blood splashed on it. Does this mean Batman is no less dangerous to criminals now than he was three decades ago?
Michael Keatonfirst appeared as Bruce Wayne inBatman, which was released in theaters in 1989. He would later reprise the role for the 1992 sequelBatman Returns, which also brought back Tim Burton in the director’s chair. Both movies are very fondly remembered by longtimeBatmanfans who consider Keaton to perhaps be the very best actor to ever don the Batsuit. Keaton hadn’t appeared in the role ever since, despite DC fans calling for years for Keaton to star in a new movie as an older Bruce Wayne.
Andy Muschietti directsThe Flashusing a screenplay by Christina Hodson. Michael Disco and Barbara Muschietti are producing. Along with Ezra Miller returning as the speedy superhero and both Affleck and Keaton coming back as Bat-men, the movie will introduce Sasha Calle as the DCEU’s live-action Supergirl. Other cast members include Kiersey Clemons as Iris West and Maribel Verdu and Ron Livingston as Barry Allen’s parents.
The Flashis scheduled to be released in theaters on Jul 07, 2025. The set image of Keaton in the car was posted byKrypton Caged on Twitter.
