Oh come on. He is 70. I'm sure there are younger dudes in Hollywood who can play the part just as well.

I really don't think so. He has a screen presence that I dont really feel with most younger actors. If this is going to be a nick fury type if thing I'm all for it but they better act fast.

 

[Chiggs]

Isn't he, like, old?

This is going to be like the Joker movie, but with Batman, isn't it?

Nothing a good slathering of Ben Gay won't fix!

 

[DESTROYA]

If people think MK is going to to any action scenes himself are fooling themselves, one of the advantages of being fully masked is having more athletic and capable people doing the action stuff.

 

[BigBooper]

What if they CGI him young like De Niro in The Irishman? ...I'm sorry...

It sounds like he will be the old boss organizing the youngsters.

Hurry up guys, it's urgent!

Ben afflick is a great Batman and Bruce Wayne.
Shame he dropped out for that lightweight Robert

 

[MetalAlien]

Keaton can actually act so this is a good thing.

 

[Punished Miku]

Technology has significantly advanced since Keaton donned the Batsuit. He can probably now turn his head side to side!

Remember the beginning of TDK when he presents some new design ideas to Luscious Fox for the Bat suit and Fox replies "You want to be able to turn your head?"

 

[Cocksman]

Eh. Fine I guess. I wish Ben’s Batman movie happened. Batman vs Deathstoke playing a game of Cat and Mouse through Arkham sounded so good.

 

[Riven326]

Everyone knows Keaton is the best Batman.

 

[e&e]

So Keaton will be repping for Marvel AND DC???

 

[Marchizmo]

It's gonna be Keaton as old Bats in a Batman Beyond thing going on.

 

[AJUMP23]

Keaton danced with the devil and lived. I say this is a great idea.

 

[Grinchy]

I'd be down. I can't tell if I even care that he's too old to actually be running around and fighting. I might still be fine with it.

 

[Kev Kev]

If they do Dark Knight Returns with Keaton Batman I will shit my pants.

don’t shit your pants

I doubt he’ll have any action. He’s the “man in the chair” guy now.

 

[Stouffers]

I didn’t know Keaton is 70 and now I’m sad. Dude could easily play mid 50s.

 

[Tesseract]

70 is fine if they acknowledge the time and damage taken

rises wayne was basically already there albeit in a younger body but he was injured beyond repair

 

[macfoshizzle]

Is this going to be like the Frank Miller’s old man Batman?

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

Today we are ALL the new Batman, wtf how many of them are there

 

[Kenpachii]

batman is such a mess at this point. so many actors playing him.

 

[Dazraell]

Keaton's return as Batman may work really well for DCEU. Glad to see they're finally embracing DC's Multiverse after so many years of putting embargos on characters only to limit their presence in multiple medias at a same time.

Brooks Barnes followed up on his tweet saying that Keaton is only in the new Flash film.

Reports of Michael Keaton appearing as the main Batman of the DC Extended Universe, replacing Ben Affleck, have been shot down by the original source.

Batman beyond, make it happen if we have an old Bruce Wayne

 

[iconmaster]

 

[EverydayBeast]

I will see this movie

 

[Noboru Wataya]

Why not

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Inform me as somebody who only watched The Animated Series, didn't Wayne canonically have his spine broken by Bane? Did he ever recover? Is this future storyline you guys are talking about kind of like Professor X is to the X-Men?

In the comics? Yes though it eventually gets healed by some chick with magic power or some bullshit.

For movies he takes the backbreaker in Dark Knight Rises but it doesn't cripple him. Some doctor guy in a pit punches his vertebrae back into alignment or something like that... =P
