I’m not sure he would be at the forefront of the fight, but he’d be a good back up.”Starring Ezra Miller and inspired by the landmark comic “Flashpoint,” the film will see The Flash travel across various multiverses, encountering other versions of himself as well as a version of Supergirl from an alternate timeline.Additionally, the film also stars Michael Keaton making his return as Batman after nearly 30 years, as TheWrap first reported.

Keaton first played Batman/Bruce Wayne in Tim Burton’s 1989 blockbuster, a critical and financial success that changed how superhero films were viewed — and paved the way for the genre’s future box office domination.Keaton last played Batman in 1992’s “Batman Returns,” but quit the role during development of a third film after Burton was pushed out as director and replaced with Joel Schumacher, who took the series in a campier direction with 1995’s “Batman Forever” and its much-reviled 1997 follow up “Batman & Robin.”But “The Flash” will disregard the latter two entries entirely, and explore what Keaton’s version of Batman has been up to since we last saw him..
