How They Convinced Michael Keaton To Return As Batman After 30 Years

The Flash movie starring Ezra Miller is certainly a highly anticipated movie in the DCEU. It will also feature Ben Affleck’s Batman and that was a welcome addition. That isn’t the biggest addition to the film as Michael Keaton will also make his return as the caped crusader. A first look at how Michael Keaton will portray Bruce Wayne was revealed back in June and fans are certainly excited about it.

Back in July,  fans finally got to see Michael Keaton’s Batmobile and Batcave. The upcoming film will deal with various multiverses with The Flash. This ultimately left Michael Keaton utterly confused.

It was also said that Michael Keaton was very emotional when he reprised his role as Batman after thirty years. While speaking during DC’s FanDome event in China, The Flash producer, Barbara Muschietti explained how he managed to convince Michael Keaton to make his return as Batman after 30 years.

“I think Keaton was honored to come to do this character again. But mainly we sent him a great script, and that is probably the thing that got him interested. It’s more complex than this…we gave him a great script and I promised him great direction. And that was about it.”
