The rumors regarding Michael Keaton putting on his cowl once more was once of the most exciting news items of 2021. As the page turns to 2021, it looks as though Warners is planning on two Batman story arcs taking place. During an interview with the New York Times, Walter Hamada, head of DC films at WB mentioned we would be seeing two different versions of Gotham on the big screen.
Warner Bros. will have two different film sagas involving Batman, played by two different actors, running at the same time.

While many assumed these two different takes would involve Robert Pattinson who is currently filming The Batman with Matt Reeves, and Ben Affleck who will reprise his role as Batman in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, however, the author of the New York Times piece, Brook Barnes we have confirmation that Keaton will indeed be the second and main Batman for DC films and he will not only show up in The Flash but will feature in the universe a whole and make appearances in other projects including Batgirl.
So it looks like moving forward Keaton and Pattinson will be your live-action DC Batmen for the foreseeable future, and I am fully on board!
