    Seriously, do they even REALIZE how much money they’d rake in with a Keaton Batman sequel. No more comic talk, movie or nothing. What they should do is Frank Millers the Dark Knight since he was in his late 50s in that series.

    If it’s not a movie starring Keaton, nobody cares.

      Will… exactly what I think! I want one last Tim Burton Batman movie maybe even two and Micheal Keaton was a is the best ever Batman IMO, he’s right up there with Adam West!

    Cancel this and do Batman beyond. Now is the time. Do it soon!

    1. I’d love to see Keaton as Bruce Wayne in a live action BATMAN BEYOND.

    I’m happy that Michael Keaton is returning for another Batman movie. When I first saw Batman in 1989, I still remember how Michael Keaton’s portrayal of Bruce Wayne/Batman made an impression on me. With all due respect to Adam West, Keaton was the new Batman. I’ve watched all the other Batman movies and the actors that portrayed Bruce Wayne/Batman, but I never had the same connection as I did with Keaton. I’m not ashamed to say that I cried tears (of happiness) when I saw Keaton wearing the cowl again in The Flash (2023). In my opinion, Keaton is the proper successor to Adam West’s Batman.

      You didn’t read the article, did you?

        My ex-girlfriend saw The Flash streaming online before I did months ago prior to this article being published online. She pratically begged me to watch it because she knew that I was a big Bat-Fan but she didn’t want to spoil the surprise that Micheal Keaton has reprised his role as Bruce Wayne/Batman.

    2. Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article…

    Good, we got Keaton back in action!!😃

    Is Keaton returning in a live action Batman movie? Your artical is confusing.
    They should make Batman 3, 4 plus have Affleck’s Batman in his own universe movies then they crossover and work together!

    More Keaton live action Batman movies and more Affleck live action Batman movies! The more the better!

    What ever they do it will be amazing. I’m not a hater comic book lackey.

      Isn’t Michael Keaton a bit too old now to play Batman? This should have happened 30 years ago. That being said, I’m still going to go see it

      1. Demode

        They could easily de-age him with digital technology. He still looks great so it wouldn’t be hard to do. My guess is if they ever make a Batman 3, they will show a young Batman and Catwoman in costume at the start using de-aging technology, and then jump 25 years into the future, with an older Batman returning to fight crime.

    Is this a real movie or are they referring to a book release?

    I would like to see that Micheal Keaton in action as one original and in his time i remember even thoe he should of been batman forever and the one after that back in ’97… even thoe Val did ok…and find out Billy Dee Willams supposd to been in batman forever….I can see old and new faces in this upcoming wit M.Keaton.

    Michael Keaton is too old to play the Batman. Even the best Batman Christian Bale was getting old to play the character.
    They need to find someone in top shape, physically, and in the Late 20’s so he could make a few movies while young. There have been so many actors doing the part, that it should be a young Batman, and movies every 3 years and about 4 total movies with today’s tech and development in movie production.

    No offense to Michael Keaton, but I just don’t see why people are excited about seeing him return as Batman. What is so exciting about seeing a 73-year-old playing the Caped Crusader? Will he be chasing criminals with his walker?

    1. It’s not his age. It’s that Michael Keaton bis the best

  12. Gran Torino

    In 1989, they refused to cast Adam West (RIP) as the star—or even in a cameo!

    This just really irritates me as Keaton is a comedian who never had any business playing Batman in the first place.
