Michael Keaton’s Batman is Returning!

11504

Now, THIS is the only way I’m good with two Batmen (Batmans?) on film at the same time!

Remember when I told y’all to mark the date?  Here’s a reminder…

Warner Bros. has announced (via THE WRAP) that Michael Keaton is returning and will reprise the role of Bruce Wayne in the upcoming solo Flash movie which is based on “Flashpoint.”

The Flash film will introduce general audiences to the idea of the Multiverse — a core aspect of DC Comics for decades.

The trade says that BATMAN FOREVER and BATMAN & ROBIN will be ignored, and pick up 30 years or so after we last saw Keaton as Bruce Wayne and Batman in BATMAN RETURNS.

BOF knew about this for a while now, but I kept it on the down and low out of respect for the studio, filmmaker, and Keaton, of course.  I can say that I was told by several sources who are privy to the project that Keaton’s older Bruce Wayne will essentially become the revamped DCEU’s version of the character. This could lead to a spinoff where he takes on a young protege to succeed him as Gotham’s protector…Batgirl, perhaps?

Or…Nightwing?

Or…both?

Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
