Michael Keaton’s Return As Batman
Michael Keaton’s return as Batman has been public knowledge for some time now, but it wasn’t until the Super Bowl trailer in February that audiences got a good look at him in action. Shortly after, an image surfaced online showcasing Keaton as his alter ego, Bruce Wayne, which was a thrilling moment for many fans.
New Merchandise
The first collectible that showcases Keaton’s unmasked Batman look is a Funko Pop! figure of him in his work uniform, which is now available for pre-order. For those who want something more poseable, there is also a figure available under the MacFarlane Gold Label Collection, which is a Target exclusive.
Future Of Michael Keaton’s Batman In The DC Universe
Fans are now wondering if Michael Keaton will play a bigger part in the DC Universe going forward. Popular rumors have claimed that Keaton will become the main Batman in the universe that Barry Allen ends up in at the end of The Flash. He was also supposed to have a small part in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and a role in the now-canceled Batgirl film.
However, it seems that Keaton’s upcoming project with Ezra Miller might be his only time returning as the Caped Crusader. Director James Gunn is looking to introduce his own new take on the iconic hero, which may disappoint many fans. Regardless, it is still exciting that Keaton has returned to play Batman once again, even if it’s just for a moment.
