New photos from the set of Batgirl show Michael Keaton suited up as Batman.
The OG Batman is back! After nearly three decades, Michael Keaton is set to return as Batman in this year’s The Flash. Details are slim on how he’ll return but with the multiverse in play, frankly, anything is possible. The buck doesn’t stop there though as Keaton is set to reprise his role as The Caped Crusader for HBO Max’s Batgirl, which is currently filming.
We haven’t seen much of Michael Keaton in the suit but it looks like our luck has changed. Brand new set photos from Leslie Grace’s Batgirl show the iconic superstar suited up as Batman. And though the snaps are a bit blurry, it looks like he’s still got it!
It looks like Michael Keaton is still rocking the same suit he first donned in Tim Burton’s Batman, which opened in 1989. The suit notably featured a bright yellow emblem of a bat. Look closely and you’ll see the iconography prevailing over three decades later.
Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah are directing Batgirl, which is being planned as a movie for the WarnerMedia streaming service HBO Max. The two most recently directed the 2020 box office hit Bad Boys for Life and episodes of the upcoming Disney Plus series Ms. Marvel. Christina Hodson, the screenwriter behind Birds of Prey and The Flash, penned the script.
DC’s Batgirl movie is set to follow the Barbara Gordon iteration of the Gotham City heroine. Barbara was last seen in a live-action feature film in Joel Schumacher’s Batman & Robin, with Alicia Silverstone playing the iconic DC Comics character. JK Simmons also stars as Commissioner Gordon, Brendan Fraser appearing as the villain Firefly, and Michael Keaton as Batman.
Batgirl will hit HBO Max sometime this year. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for all the latest news on the upcoming HBO Max film, and be sure to subscribe to Heroic Hollywood’s YouTube channel for more original video content.
