It is possible for Keaton to also star in other DC-oriented movies following his Flash appearance, sources told the outlet.
These sources also noted that Keaton’s Batman will be similar to Samuel L. Jackson’s Marvel Cinematic Universe role of Nick Fury, who oversees and mentors other superheroes.
Keaton’s last superhero movie outing was in Marvel’s 2017 film Spider-Man: Homecoming as the villain Adrian Toomes, most famously known as The Vulture.
