Michael Keaton is set to reprise the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman in Andy Muschietti’s The Flash, and Keaton’s Batman will also return in a new comic series from DC Comics.
Announced today, DC Digital First series Batman ’89 is launching this coming July, and the series is said to tell new stories within the world of Tim Burton’s classic 1989 movie.
Batman ’89 is written by Sam Hamm, and illustrated by Joe Quinones.
“Continuing the twisted adventures of DC’s Dark Knight from Tim Burton’s seminal classic Batman movies, Batman ’89 brings in screenwriter Sam Hamm (Batman, Batman Returns) and artist Joe Quinones (Dial H for Hero) to pull on a number of threads left dangling by the prolific director. The gothic mentality behind the world, while still rooted in a sense of realism, helped inform many of DC’s global fans’ first impressions on the Dark Knight’s Gotham. In the new Batman ’89 comic, Hamm and Quinones will help usher in the return of Selina Kyle/Catwoman and will debut a new Robin! Plus, Quinones has a vision for Harvey Dent/Two-Face that is as close to movie magic as a comic can get!”
The press release explains, “Batman ’89 will debut with six digital chapters on July 27, followed by new chapters for the six weeks that follow. The twelve chapters will also publish as six printed comics between August and October and as hardcover collections in October.”

DC is also launching a Superman ’78 comic series this summer.
