00:00Michael Keaton is in talks to play Batman again, Cobra Kai is leaving YouTube for Netflix,

00:05and the trailer for the Hamilton movie is here. Here are today's top stories. First,

00:09Michael Keaton may be suiting back up in the cape and cowl. The actor who famously starred

00:13as Batman in the Tim Burton-directed early 1990s Batman movies is in talks to reprise

00:18the character for Warner Bros. DC movie The Flash. Ezra Miller is on board to star as Barry

00:23Allen, aka The Flash, in the feature that will be directed by IT filmmaker Andy Muschietti.

00:28But wait, there's more. If a deal makes, Keaton wouldn't just return for The Flash,

00:32but possibly for several other DC-oriented film projects. Sources tell THR that the role being

00:37envisioned for the veteran actor is akin to the one played by Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury in

00:42the Marvel Cinematic Universe, something of a mentor or guide or even string puller.

00:46Warner Bros. had no comment. Meanwhile, The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson,

00:50is currently being looked at as separate from The Flash or other DC movies.

00:53Cobra Kai is moving from YouTube to Netflix. The streaming giant has acquired the first

00:58three seasons of the Karate Kid sequel starring Ralph Macchio and William Zabka as they reprise

01:02their beloved roles as Daniel and Johnny. The first two seasons, which aired on YouTube in 2018 and

01:162019, will make their debut on Netflix later this year. A premiere date for the third season on the

01:22streaming service is yet to be determined. With Cobra Kai's move to Netflix now completed,

01:26YouTube is officially out of the scripted TV business.

01:29Finally, Disney Plus just dropped the first trailer for the highly anticipated filmed version

01:33of Hamilton. THR's Neha Choi has more. The movie, which features the original Broadway cast of the

01:39Tony-winning musical, had been intended to hit theaters on October 15, 2021, but will instead

01:44hit Disney Plus in just a few short weeks on July 3rd.

01:51Filmed at Broadway's Richard Rogers Theater in June 2016, the movie tells the story of American

01:56founding father Alexander Hamilton, featuring Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda in the starring role.
