Michael Keaton Says The Batsuit Still Fits More Than 30 Years Later
Many actors have donned the famous cape and cowl over the years, but for some, especially those of us a certain age, there is only one Batman — and that’s Michael Keaton. The actor stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to talk about his new Hulu limited miniseries, Dopesick and the host couldn’t help but ask sthe star about what it was like to reprise his iconic role in the upcoming The Flash film.
While the Oscar-nominated actor was pretty tight lipped about his return to the role in the upcoming DCEU film he did confirm at least one thing — he can still rock a bat-suit.
Colbert jokingly asked if it needed to be “let out”.
“Svelte as ever,” 70-year-old Keaton said of his physique. “Same dimensions. Same fitting.”
Noting that it was “great” to play Batman one more time, Keaton joked, “I don’t know how many there are, like 77 Batmans. They think they should form their own union.”
Keaton first played the Dark Knight in 1989’s Batman and reprised the role in 1992’s Batman Returns. Both he and director Tim Burton left that franchise after those two pictures.
In the upcoming DC film, The Flash (played by Ezra Miller) time travels and, in doing so, alters timelines. Ben Affleck will also appear as his version of Batman.
The Flash is due in theaters Nov. 4, 2022.
