Following on from the various DC reports of the past day or so, a new one has emerged saying it wasn’t just a third “Wonder Woman” that had been scrapped.
According to Jeff Sneider on this week’s The Hot Mic episode, a solo “Batman” film starring Michael Keaton was in development at DC until new studio chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran nixed it.
Keaton is returning to the role he played back in 1989 and 1992 in next year’s “The Flash” film in a major role. It was to be the first of a planned series of appearances with the actor also confirmed to have appeared in the now scrapped “Batgirl” movie, and rumored to have shot a nixed cameo in the “Aquaman” sequel.
There had also been talk of Keaton potentially getting his own potential solo film with Christina Hodson (“Birds of Prey”) writing the script, and this report indicates that such a film was in development – but no longer.
Veteran scooper El Mayimbe followed that report up with one of his own, saying the film in question was going to be a live-action “Batman Beyond” film with Keaton as the elderly Bruce Wayne opposite a younger actor in that Batsuit as Terry McGinnis.
