The possibility of Keaton reprising the role of Batman cropped up in June after reports suggested that he is in talks to reprise his role in the upcoming film The Flash. Fans quickly came up with a theory that Keaton’s Batman would be a sort of mentor figure to Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen/The Flash.
However, the director had also revealed that Micheal Keaton’s appearance in the film actually has a surprising relationship to Ben Affleck. He said, “He’s the baseline. He’s part of that unaltered state before we jump into Barry’s adventure. There’s a familiarity there.”
Speaking about Ben Affleck’s Batman returning in The Flash, Director Andy Muschietti said to the publication, “His Batman has a dichotomy that is very strong, which is his masculinity, because of the way he looks, and the imposing figure that he has, and his jawline, but he’s also very vulnerable. He knows how to deliver from the inside out, that vulnerability. He just needs a story that allows him to bring that contrast, that balance.”
