Michael Keaton, 69, ‘confirmed’ to return as Batman in The Flash with filming already underway

After months of rumours and speculation, it has finally been confirmed that Michael Keaton will return as Batman in The Flash, 29 years after his last appearance as the Caped Crusader. 

Keaton's agency, ICM Partners, confirmed Monday to The Wrap that Keaton will return, while director Andy Muschietti revealed the official logo on social media and announced filming is already underway, the Daily Mail reports.

The 69-year-old actor originally played millionaire Bruce Wayne and his crime-busting alter-ego in Tim Burton's 1989 classic Batman and its 1992 sequel Batman Returns. 

But his advanced years are expected to make him the oldest Batman to date, having last played the role when he was 41.
