Michael Keaton was set to reprise his role as Batman in the DC Comics movie Batgirl before it was canceled by Warner. The actor has finally reacted on the subject.
The announcement of the cancellation of Batgirl by Warner last August caused a stir and many are those who have stepped up to denounce the gesture of the American studio. Michael Keaton was missing. The one who was to return to his role as Batman after several decades was asked about the subject last night, after his victory at the Emmys.
“It was a business choice. And I’m going to assume it was the right one. But I don’t know.”
As a reminder, Warner had decided to bury the film in order to be able to recover part of the taxes rather than adding money to the 90 million dollars allocated to finish the film. If Keaton doesn’t get wet — most likely so as not to offend the studios — he shared his delight at slipping into the Dark Knight costume again. “It was cool, it was fun.”.
As for knowing if he will play Batman again, the comedian kicks in touch: “We’ll see. I really have no idea.”.
