Batman aka Michael Keaton has officially signed on as the evil CEO of OCP, Reymond Sellars in the 2013 reboot of the "RoboCop" franchise.
This was the character that Hugh Laurie was originally rumored to have been cast as. Clive Owen was then rumored to be on the top of MGM's list to take over the role when it was confirmed that Laurie was nowhere near signing on to the 2013 reboot. Director Jose Padilha had this to say about casting Keaton in the role,
"Michael is
the final addition to the amazing cast we have assembled for this film
and it is so great to have the last puzzle piece in place. It is
thrilling that everything has come together to bring this innovative new
vision of RoboCop to life. We’ve got a great script, a great cast, some
killer ED-209’s and I can’t wait to get Alex Murphy back on the
streets,"
