Anything showing Keaton?

Just images already posted in the thread. Nothing extravagant.

Is that a new build/model for the Batmobile? Because it sort of reminds me of the early Nineties Kenner Batmobile.

I'm not expecting the Burtonmobile to feature in an action sequence (the new Batwing seems to be serving that function), but I'm still hoping we get a good look at it. We know for sure that Bruce had a tarp covering it for an unspecified period of time, and Barry pulls it off. In any case it'll be good to see it on screen again for whatever duration it ends up being.

Will probly pick this up and the returns suit flash


That Keaton pop is fascinating. It appears to be in the '89 suit, but it has the new black Flash utility belt...

I sure hope that means he might wear more than one suit in the movie, perhaps ending up in my much preferred '89 duds.

The image is just a placeholder apparently, and the B89 logo isn't worn in the film. But I guess it could be seen during a suit lineup in the cave.

So I was right in the fact that The Flash is going to allow Gunn to soft-reboot the films while keeping things (all existing actors sans Cavill and Affleck are expected to stay), what I figured would happen has come to pass: apparently Keaton will not be sticking around. Worse than that it they're introducing Damien Wayne, which saps my enthusiasm as I hate that character lol

Indeed, the slate confirms that Keaton returns just this once. He's not going to rubbish a product to diminish the box office, but Gunn does call the movie one of the best in the genre. If we believe that at least our man goes out with a bang. A bigger bang than the Batgirl film, which has been deemed unreleasable.

As for the new DCU Batman, being titled The Brave and the Bold, I'm very inclined to be on board - even if casting another Batman makes me somewhat weary. I'm after more detail but I'm liking the idea. An established Bat family with presumably a lighter tone is something people here have been asking for. With so many Batman films now the way something stands out is with a different premise, and something that taps into characters and mythos the general public has no idea about. I think going with Damian could also be to counter whatever Reeves is planning, if he wants to focus on Dick Grayson. Either way, Robin is a character I've been eager to see back on film.
