Batman is one of the most popular superheroes. Many actors have donned the dress of the superhero. Now, Pittsburgh native Michael Keaton will play Batman in a movie set to debut in 2022.

In an interview of Brooks Barnes of the New York Times with DC Films president Walter Hamada, it was learnt that Keaton and Ben Affleck will both play Batman in the Warner Bros. film “The Flash.” The film will “link the two universes and feature two Batmans,” the NYT reports.

Barnes also took to Twitter to confirm the news.Nestor Cine, the founder of Desde Hollywood, a bilingual movie news site said, “Based on your Hamada piece, some have interpreted that WB is doing 2 franchises starring Batman, one with Pattinson, one with a new actor. Is that correct, or you were referring to Keaton as a second Batman, being part of a non-Batman-centric saga? Thank you." Answering the question, Barnes responded, “Keaton." For the unversed, Keaton made his debut as Batman in Tim Burton’s 1989 “Batman” and the 1992 sequel “Batman Returns.”
