It looks like the set photos aren’t stopping anytime soon for the upcoming The Flash film. The upcoming entry will bring back Michael Keaton in the role of Batman, which he hasn’t played since the 1992 film Batman Returns. We still don’t know how he will find his way into the multiverse or what role Keaton’s Wayne might have, but the latest set photos offer our first glimpse at the actor, who seems to be sporting a very familiar look. Twitter user @bigscreenleaks uploaded an image offering our first look at the actor on set. Seems they tried to replicate his hair from the original Tim Burton films, but with a silver fox look.

What is interesting to note is that he seems to be in the same location where Ezra Miller‘s Barry Allen and Kiersey Clemons‘ Iris West are filming.
All the photos of Kiersey Clemons (Iris West AKA Iris Allen) and Ezra Miller (Barry Allen AKA Flash) on set of #TheFlash. It seems that they are walking out of a courthouse. In both versions of JL, Ezra wants to represent his father and clear his name. Could this be it? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/pGvxnZt6BZ

As these photos are surfacing around the same time as our first look at Sasha Calle’s Supergirl, it may imply that Keaton‘s Batman is around in the mainline universe. So, perhaps Barry accidentally altered the timeline that he took Ben Affleck‘s place, or he somehow dragged Iris into the mss. There were images showcasing an ad for Central City featuring Gal Gadot‘s Wonder Woman, so it seems more likely that this incarnation of Batman may have ended up in the wrong dimension. Who says time travel and the existence of a multiverse isn’t confusing at all.
