Michael Keaton is coming back as Batman in The Flash and Batgirl, both part of the DC Extended Universe, but he won’t have the same look as he did in 1989’s Batman, as his DCEU suit is very different.

Directed by Andy Muschietti, The Flash is influenced by the Flashpoint storyline and will follow Barry Allen as he travels back in time to prevent his mother's murder, but traveling in time brings terrible consequences to his timeline. Given that Barry’s travels will take him to other timelines within the DCEU, The Flash will bring together different versions of Allen along with Sasha Calle’s Supergirl and Affleck and Keaton’s versions of Batman. Keaton’s Batman is expected to be a big presence in The Flash unlike Affleck’s, even though this will be the latter's last time playing the Caped Crusader on the big screen.
