Summary

Michael Keaton's return as Batman in future DC movies was cut short by Batgirl's cancellation.
The cancellation of Batgirl marked the start of a negative trend for Warner Bros. Discovery.
Keaton's Batman was meant to play a mentor role in the DCEU.

Michael Keaton opens up about the Batgirl movie being canceled. Keaton first played the Dark Knight in two Batman movies under director Tim Burton. 31 years after last appearing as Bruce Wayne, the actor returned as his version of Batman in 2023's The Flash. That was meant to be the start of a new stint of DC roles for the actor, with Keaton's Batman planned to appear in future DC movies. However, with Batgirl's cancellation and the end of the DCEU, Keaton's Batman return was cut short.
Speaking to GQ, Michael Keaton said he was not affected by Batgirl being scrapped by Warner Bros. Discovery. According to the star, he got a "nice check" for his work on the movie, with Keaton not caring about Batgirl's cancellation. However, the Batman actor did feel bad for the movie's directors, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who deserved to see Batgirl included on the DCEU's list of movies but did not get that. Check out the full quote below:

“No, I didn't care one way or another. Big, fun, nice check.
I like those boys. They're nice guys (Batgirl directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah). I pull for them. I want them to succeed, and I think they felt very badly, and that made me feel bad. Me? I'm good.”
