Michael Keaton shrugs at shelved $100 million ‘Batgirl’ movie: ‘Nice check’

“Batgirl”? Whatever!

Michael Keaton, who filmed scenes as Bruce Wayne — a k a Batman — in DC Studios’ $100 million “Batgirl,” did not lose much sleep over its dramatic shelving in 2022.

“I didn’t care one way or another. Big, fun, nice check,” the actor told GQ .

Keaton, 72, did say he admires directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who had a rebound hit this summer with “Bad Boys: Ride or Die.”

“I like those boys. They’re nice guys,” he said. “I pull for them. I want them to succeed, and I think they felt very badly, and that made me feel bad.”

“Me?” Keaton added. “I’m good.”

When The Post broke the news that “Batgirl” had been shelved by Warner Bros. in August 2022, not long after David Zaslav took the reins as president, the fracas became a major headache for the studio.

The fresh-faced cast had not yet been informed of the axing, and most were not as  blasé about it as Keaton.

“They had no idea the movie was being shelved,” a source said at the time. “That’s a giant problem.”

Another insider said the actors found their poorly handled situation “humiliating” and “disappointing.”

Star Leslie Grace posted the Taylor Swift song “Shake it Off” on her Instagram Story.

El Arbi and Fallah, who were also blindsided, released a statement saying, “We are shocked and saddened by the news. We still can’t believe it.”

Keaton now stars in the upcoming “Beetlejuice” sequel “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” which, despite having the name twice in the title, turns Keaton’s mischievous character into a more supporting role than in the 1988 film.

“I think the Beetlejuice character doesn’t drive the story as much as he did in the first one,” Keaton said. “He’s more part of the storyline in this one as opposed to the first one, which is a case of, this thing comes in and drives the movie a little bit.”
