The film, also featuring Ben Affleck as Batman and starring Ezra Miller as the title hero, is slated to land in theatres on November 4, 2022.
It's been 30 years since Keaton first donned the Batsuit, and in that time, he says he has been intrigued by the prospect of revisiting his iconic role. "Just because I was curious didn't mean I wanted to do it," he clarified on the latest episode of Variety's Award Circuit podcast. "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 added.
'Batgirl' is currently in production in London. 'Bad Boys for Life' filmmakers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah will direct the film for Warner Bros. Christina Hodson, known for her work in projects including 'Bumblebee' and 'The Flash', is writing the screenplay.
