Batgirl is set to be released by HBO Max in 2022, and it will follow the adventures of Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl. Leslie Grace will take on the lead role, and she’ll be joined by J. K. Simmons as James Gordon and Brendan Fraser as Garfield Lynns aka Firefly.

The news of Keaton’s involvement comes shortly after it was announced he’s set to appear in The Flash alongside Ezra Miller. He recently discussed his comeback with Variety and admitted he often wondered what it would be like to return to the role, but he didn’t want to do it until it made sense.

“Just because I was curious didn’t mean I wanted to do it. So it took a long time, frankly… I’m not just gonna say I’ll do it. It has to be good. And there has to be a reason,” he explained.

Keaton previously played the Dark Knight in Tim Burton’s 1989 film Batman and its 1992 follow-up Batman Returns, and his version of the character went down in history as one of the all-time favorites.

The news that the Twilight star would be filling the shoes of Ben Affleck was released prematurely. Pattison has said he was “furious” as he was worried that Warner Bros. would get spooked and change their mind about giving him the role. Fortunately, the decision remains unchanged and the problem Pattison currently faces is prejudice from fans who can’t shake his image as the teen vampire heartthrob, Edward Cullen. This is not a new problem for Pattison, who has done his best to avoid typecasting since the Twilight franchise wrapped up. He is subsequently unbothered by people’s opinions regarding his new role.

In response to the backlash, Pattison told Variety: “To be honest, it was less vitriolic than I was expecting. It’s much more fun when you’re an underdog. There’s no expectation of you.”

In the same interview, Pattison also credited Matt Reeves directing. He said: “It’s an interesting direction. It’s something from the comics which hasn’t really been explored yet.”

He continued: “It’s interesting the different directions you can take with it and that the, in some ways, quite a specific character actually has a lot of leeway. When you look at the different tones of the movies and TV shows, you can do quite a lot with it.”

The new Batman movie is scheduled for June 25, 2021.

With reports doing the rounds that Warner Bros. is reformatting its DC films and Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck are on their way out as Superman and Batman, respectively, the roles are up for grabs and some famous names are already putting their hands up for the parts. One of whom is Mad Men actor, Jon Hamm.

“It depends on the script, what the story is,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “I am a huge comic book fan, always have been. I’ve read comic books since I was nine or younger. And I’m pretty knowledgeable about a lot of them. And I like the genre, and I like when they’re done well.”

But before we get our hopes up…

“I have never been offered anything. think the internet wants what it wants. But, I mean, a lot of people have to sign off on that, obviously not just the internet.”

That said, Jon is keen to get into the head of Bruce Wayne.

“I’d probably fit the suit,” he said. “I’d have to work out a lot, which I don’t love. But, I am sure there’s an interesting version of that being out there. And if they wanted to tap me on the shoulder and ask me to do it, why not?”

We hope Warner Bros. is listening!
