Christina Hodson Was Apparently Working On A Batman Beyond Movie For Michael Keaton, But Not Anymore

On Thursday, Gunn also said that he’s currently in the process of “building the next ten years of story” for the studio, and that fans will have to wait for a clearer picture of what’s on the horizon for projects in flux. “We are giving these characters & the stories the time & attention they deserve & we ourselves still have a lot more questions to ask & answer,” he tweeted.

So while it’s possible that this project we’re only now hearing about now is on pause, it’s not necessarily out of the question in DC’s future. Regardless, the script in development sounds like catnip for classic DC fans. The pun there is intended, since THR reports that the feature script was set to reunite the Caped Crusader with Catwoman for a possible romance. Since Keaton’s Batman is set to appear in “The Flash,” and Hodson’s “Batman Beyond” story would reportedly include that version of the hero, that would seem to imply the return of another star from Tim Burton’s Batman era.

Michelle Pfeiffer played Selina Kyle in the 1992 Tim Burton film “Batman Returns,” and though THR indicates that it’s unclear whether or not the actress planned to return to the role for the “Batman Beyond” story, it would certainly make sense in the grand scheme of things. Personally, I’m hopeful about the future of this project, given that Hodson’s “Birds of Prey” script is aces, and she’s already been on the receiving end of one axed project in the form of “Batgirl.” Plus, who would turn down more Keaton Batman?! We’ll keep you posted as the story develops.
