MICHAEL KEATON RETURNS (or at least in discussion) AS BATMAN

[bapi]

If you remember that first artwork from DC Fandome it's clearly Keaton in his '89 version so he'll be de-aged for some part of the movie, after all Barry's mother was killed 15-20 years earlier. However no idea how they jump from that place to this older version of Keaton but looking at photos there's Miller with both his JL haircut and now this new one and that's quite unusual for movies and only happens when there are time jumps.

My guess is that Flash enters Batman'89 world (in a different universe) but loses his powers there.

Wonder if we'll get a Flashpoint type scene of him trying to get them back!!

 

[antsman41]

I bet Barry travels to alternative early 90’s to save his mom… and then when the universes collapse we get older Keaton.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

If this is how we react with the Batmobile, just imagine how we'll cope with Keaton in full regalia.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I just want the suit to be updated slightly.

 

[danlav05]

we'll cope with Keaton in full regalia.

We won't

but it'll be a MOMENT

 

[J.Drangal]

Sorry to be that guy, but it's crazy despite how awesome it is to see that incredible batcave again, I can't help but have my hype being deflated by that Ezra Miller pic... I'm part of those who didn't had a problem with his casting back then, always open to see what an actor can bring to the table, but yeah, I'm having trouble with his character portraying.
I'm just having flashback of JL where he was clowning when entering the Batfleck cave, and I swear, if we see anything similar here, I'll complain on the internet for at least 15 years.

(I used that smiley but I don't even know if I'm really that sarcastic...)

I hope it's like this with the arms crossed

I also am not a fan of this Barry and Ezra in general but we are getting 2 of my favourite Batmen so I have to be pumped.

 

[Rick190293]

I don't think there's a Batman fan that's not at least intrigued by this comeback... definitely NOT we were expecting for a Flash movie, and the very first Flash movie ever.
Damn, Bat-Keaton returning, and Tobey's and Andrew's spideys problably returning too... the world is a crazy place right now.

 

[BrazilianBatman]

This is not specifically from The Flash movie but is almost the same model of the Batmobile '89:

Spoiler: [B]BATMAN 1989 BATMOBILE & BATMAN[/B], 1:24 SCALE VEHICLE & 2.75" FIGURE (NEXT LEVEL EXCLUSIVE)

Yeah I just think they are treating Barry too much like Robin; the junior superhero mentored by Batman. It could be Ezra or anyone the same age and personality. I see Barry more around Momoa/Aquaman’s age. Robin has never been truly nailed in a movie.

Batman 89 sees Batfleck turn his head in the cowl and wonders how that is possible.

Or he wont be de-aged at all. Its really early concept art to make fans and normies excited. The artist could have just been given the description that "Have the Keaton Batman and Ezra Flash fight a bunch of dudes in a science facility" or something. It might look different in the film.

Again I am also just speculating.

 

[super85]

"agreeing to return as Bruce Wayne in the upcoming big-screen version of The Flash"

Very likely the case. The Force Awakens concept art used a young Mark Hamill in places where they knew he'd be older, and Darth Vader in place of Kylo Ren sometimes because they knew the villain was to be "Vader-esque" etc. Just the nature of it.

????????

 

[Captain Tired]

Ugh every time I see this thread updated, I'm thinking I'm finally gonna see a set pic of Keaton in the Batsuit for the first time in nearly 30 years

And it NEVER happens.

Don't worry, buddy. It will... Soon. Be patient, WE know it's going to happen.

There was talk his suit will be mostly CGI, I'm sure we will see the suit at Fandome.

This can only lead to disappointment.

Michael Keaton Describes the First Shot of Batman In 'The Flash': "Whoa, This Is Big"

Here's exactly what Keaton told us:

"[It was] weirdly and ironically easy. A little bit emotional. Just a rush of memories. Without giving anything away, which I can’t, basically the first shot, not of the entire movie but let’s say the introduction [of Batman], is so good that when we walked on and started talking about a couple of shots and the angles, I went 'whoa, this is big. This is great.' I don’t even mean for me. Just the imagery, it’s great. And reminiscent, to some degree, of Tim Burton."

 

[Detective Conan]

“Just the imagery, it’s great. And reminiscent, to some degree, of Tim Burton."

I hope the first scene is something akin to this!
