Michael Keaton to be the DC Universe’s Main Batman?

Hi @brooksbarnesNYT. Based on your Hamada piece, some have interpreted that WB is doing 2 franchises starring Batman, one with Pattinson, one with a new actor. Is that correct, or you were referring to Keaton as a second Batman, being part of a non-Batman-centric saga? Thank you!

It looks like the DC Universe will be having two Batman movies running at two times. New York Times writer, Brooks Barnes revealed that Michael Keaton will be the other Batman alongside Robert Pattinson.

No word on what this exactly means or if the Keaton Batman movies will be Batman centric or if he will play a part in a new franchise. We do know he will apparently be in the upcoming The Flash movie, but nothing else has been revealed.

I will say this, if he is not being brought back to star in a Batman Beyond movie I will be mad. This is their golden opportunity, so they better not mess it up!
