The Flash movie to start filming in 2021, Michael Keaton returns as Batman

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Michael Keaton will play Batman again in DC's "The Flash" movie. Michael Keaton starred in the 1992 "Batman" movie directed by Tim Burton.

Ezra Miller will play the role of Barry Allen, the Flash, in the upcoming film, which will be directed by Andy Muschietti, the director of IT: Chapter 2.

Foreign media reported that if the negotiation is successful, Michael Keaton will not only return to "The Flash", but will also join many other DC movies. It is reported that the role played by this experienced actor will be similar to Nick Fury played by Samuel Jackson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a mentor, guide and even a promoter. "Batgirl" is one of the projects under development that may belong to this category.

The Batman movie starring Robert Pattinson is currently seen as a project independent of The Flash and other DC movies, but the Flash movie project will provide an interesting path between the series: It is said that The Flash story not only has time travel, but also space travel. This leads to the idea that you can cross from one "movie universe" to another, an idea that becomes more tempting with Keaton's participation.

The Flash is set to begin filming in London in spring 2021.
