As the holiday season marches forward, Michael Keaton appears to be enjoying some downtime before jumping into his next role.

And on Friday, he enjoyed a romantic dinner his longtime girlfriend Marni Turner at the Italian restaurant Toscana in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Their dinner for two comes amid word that Keaton's return as Bruce Wayne in a long-awaited Beyond Batman film had been scrapped, which comes six months before he's set to reprise the role in the The Flash starring troubled actor Ezra Miller.

Keaton will return as Bruce Wayne/Batman in DC's The Flash, which is slated to premiere on June 16, 2023.

Directed by Andy Muschietti, the superhero film stars embattled actor Ezra Miller as Barry Allen/The Flash in the 14th film of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU).

Keaton, who first portrayed Bruce Wayne in the Tim Burton-directed Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992), had also reprised the role in Batgirl, starring Leslie Grace as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl.

Batgirl was shot in Glasgow, Scotland from November 2021 to March 2022, but this past August DC Films and HBO Max parent company Warner Bros announced that the film had been axed. 

It was reportedly due to the company's restructuring and cost-cutting measures in order to refocus their theatrical releases.

The latest rumored bombshell is that a secretly planned solo Batman film starring Keaton has also been nixed.

According to film reporter Umberto Gonzalez, that movie, written by The Flash writer Christina Hodson, would have been the long-awaited Batman Beyond film, as reported by Collider.

While there had not been an official announcement of a Batman Beyond movie, it is clear that there has been a clamoring for it from fans over the years.
