Michael Keaton will return as Batman in both The Flash and Batgirl and a recent image gives us what appears to be our first look at his new suit. What do you think of it?
Michael Keaton is widely considered ne of the all-time best – if not the best – actors to portray Batman in a live-action film.
The esteemed movie star first donned the cape and cowl in Tim Burton’s 1989 blockbuster Batman and reprised the role in the more Burton-esque sequel Batman Returns. He famously chose not to return for Joel Schumacher’s more colorful Forever in 1995 but we will, in fact, see him return to the role for a third time.
In what many consider the most shocking announcement in DC Films in a very long time, Keaton will reprise the role in both The Flash and Batgirl, with it looking as if his Bruce Wayne will take over as the DCEU’s primary Batman from Ben Affleck.
We don’t know which movie will be released first yet (especially as a delay seems due for Batgirl) but, as we wait, we can look back at what appears to be the first full look at the star in the Batsuit for the first time in 30 years.
Michael Keaton’s Batman returns as his new Batsuit is revealed
As reported by Den of Geek a little while back, a recent image has surfaced online, which can be viewed here in a tweet, showcasing a much clearer look at the new Batsuit that Michael Keaton will be wearing in his upcoming DCEU appearances.
The images appear to be from a costume test and, looking at the suit, it’s clear that it borrowed a lot from the Batsuits that Keaton wore in Batman and Batman Returns. That said, there are some changes. The iconic yellow Bat insignia is identical to the traditional one seen in the 1992 sequel but the armor itself is much sleeker, giving it much less of a rubber look than the one Keaton donned in the 1989 film and making it that much shinier than the one from Returns. The gauntlets are also much sharper (and more armored).
The biggest difference, however, comes in the all-black utility belt. That could be down to storyline purposes, though, as you’ll notice that Leslie Grace’s Batgirl boasts an identical utility belt but with the more traditional yellow pouches. Perhaps it’s Barbara Gordon’s idea to lighten up her own costume?
Is this Michael Keaton’s Batsuit in The Flash and Batgirl?
This appears to be the first clear look we have gotten at this suit after Batgirl set photos depicted what appeared to be a stunt double wearing the costume in a flashback sequence to the Dark Knight’s younger days.
With that in mind, it’s clear that Keaton will don this suit at some point in his DCEU appearances. The question is: Is this the same suit we saw him don in the first teaser trailer for The Flash, or will he be bringing in another, bulkier suit for that film?
Regardless, it’s great to see Michael Keaton back in the iconic role. Batman has truly returned.
