In the five years since Ezra Miller’s The Flash debut in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, the actor’s solo film struggled to get off the ground. With Andy Muschietti in the director’s chair, there is currently production in the UK—And Michael Keaton is with us for the ride. The wrap confirm it that Keaton plays his role as Bruce Wayne / Batman in The flash, loosely based on the Flash point cartoon arc in which Barry Allen’s time-traveling superhero alter ego accidentally creates an alternate universe in which Keaton’s Batman has been the Gotham City hero for the past 30 years. Keaton played the Dark Knight for director Tim Burton in 1989 Batman and its sequel, 1992s Batman returns. His cast The flash was first reported last summer, about the same time that Ben Affleck’s Batman allegedly made an appearance – after Snyder Cut, and with Warner Bros. trying to distance himself from the era of the DC universe, it is unclear whether Affleck is still set to appear.
Keaton recently doubts about his Batman return during an interview with Deadline, in which he expressed concern about the filming in the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic. The concern seems to have disappeared in the intervening weeks as the studio began preparing for production and announced the additional cast: Kiersey Clemons will repeat her role as Iris West (Barry’s love interest), Ron Livingston came on board to play Billy Crudup as Barry’s father to replace. , and Alfred Molina will repeat his role as Doc Ock from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2. Scheduled for a November 2022 release, The flash also becomes the debut of the Supergirl of the DC universe, played by Sasha Calle.
