Michael Keaton’s talent agency, ICM Partners, has confirmed the actor will return as Batman in “The Flash.”

The superhero film officially kicked off production in London on Monday, as revealed in an Instagram post from director Andrรฉs Muschietti.

As TheWrap first exclusively reported, Keaton was in talks to return to the role of Batman after nearly 30 years, to appear alongside Ezra Miller in Warner Bros.’ “The Flash.”

But Keaton set the fandom on fire last month when he hinted in an interview with Deadline that he might not do “The Flash” because of his concerns about COVID-19.
