Batman: Michael Keaton Can Still Fit In the Original Batsuit 30 Years Later

Michael Keaton fit into his Batman suit on the set of The Flash after 30 years since his last appearance as the character.

Keaton appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in an episode that aired on Tuesday. A clip of the episode available on YouTube features Colbert asking Keaton if he thinks he can still "fit in the original suit." Keaton replied that it has already been done.

"Svelte as ever, man," Keaton said.

Colbert began to ask, "Was it the same-," to which Keaton answered, "Same dimension. Same fitting."

Keaton provided no other details on his role in The Flash, which is set to hit theaters on November 4, 2022. Ben Affleck recently talked about the "fun" of playing Batman again and joked that he's probably under "some gag order I'm not even aware of" and was afraid to talk too much about DC's highly-anticipated upcoming production.

Keaton is likely under similar restrictions. Instead of talking about The Flash, Keaton praised Will Arnett's turn as LEGO Batman after Colbert praised Keaton's Batman performance.

"I'll tell you a great version [of Batman], and that is, if you haven't seen it or heard it, Will Arnett's LEGO Batman is really funny," Keaton said. "Like, really funny."

The Flash star Ezra Miller will make an apperance at DC FanDome on October 16, so it's likely more details will be revealed then. Check out the full DC FanDome celebrity guest list.

Flash director Andy Muschietti posted a picture on Instagram of what appears to be Michael Keaton's Batman Returns suit painted red with a Flash lightning bolt symbol on it. There is no caption with the image, so whether the remixed batsuit will actually appear in the movie remains to be seen.
