Michael Keaton’s Batman To Appear In ‘Crisis On Infinite Earths’

A set photo from The CW’s Crisis on Infinite Earths event has revealed a Easter egg involving Michael Keaton’s Batman.

Michael Keaton made his debut as the Caped Crusader in Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman movie and reprised the role three years later for its sequel Batman Returns. To date, Michael Keaton’s portrayal of Batman remains one of the best in the eyes of many fans, some of whom would love to see the revered actor return to the character one day.

While the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event, which will assemble multiple actors from live-action DC Comics projects past and present, does not appear to include any actors from the feature films (excluding Superman Returns star Brandon Routh), it appears the creative team found a way to pay tribute to Michael Keaton’s Batman. A behind-the-scenes photo from the set of Crisis on Infinite Earths reveals a copy of the Gotham City Gazette with Michael Keaton’s Bruce Wayne / Batman pictured for a story detailing the billionaire’s pending marriage to Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman.
