He will star alongside Leslie Grace, who's playing the lead role.

Though plot details have been kept under wraps, the film centres on the heroine who's real identity is Barbara Gordon, the daughter of Gotham police commissioner Jim Gordon.

The film, also featuring Ben Affleck as Batman and starring Ezra Miller as the title hero, is slated to land in theaters on November 4, 2022.

It`s been 30 years since Keaton first donned the Batsuit, and in that time, he says he has been intrigued by the prospect of revisiting his iconic role.

"Just because I was curious didn`t mean I wanted to do it," he clarified on the latest episode of Variety`s Award Circuit podcast.

"So it took a long time, frankly... I`m not just gonna say I`ll do it. It has to be good. And there has to be a reason."

'Batgirl' is currently in production in London.
