Batman '89 (2021)

Seeing a lot of DCAU influence in here
-Bruce Waynes suit
- Gordons hair and stature
- The Jokers (with Dee Dee)

It's cool and it seems like we're going full circle in a lot of ways DCEU to Batman 89/Ben Affleck to Michael Keaton.

I also wonder if they're teasing around with the idea of white eyes for Flash? It's a future Batman (perhaps on the cusp of Beyond) and white eyes have been on the fan want list for a while now

Quinones uploaded new black and white sneak peaks of Batman.





I'm glad to see he is drawing the Batsuit as identical as his other artwork. This seems to confirm he will have white lens on the eyes too. I'm not complaining, it's unique visual detail in the comics.

Awestruck by the first image. Has anyone considered if Knox is coming back?

Could be. I'm partial to the Kingdom Come power suit appearing in live action.

Has anyone considered if Knox is coming back?

Wuhl appeared in the recent crossover event, so there's zero reason why he'd get cold feet now if asked back again. The news media is a focus in the Burtonverse, even in Returns when Vicki and Knox don't appear. Continuing that would be sensible.

It just dawned on me, if Hamm is writing this he's probably going to kill off Alexander Knox.  That would be a dealbreaker for me.

I know Knox was killed off in an earlier draft of B89, but from what I've read, Hamm doesn't really have much antipathy towards the character. Unlike Daniel Waters, who wanted to bring him back just to kill him off.

Oh, it was Waters that wanted to kill him off in Batman Returns? I thought it was Hamm in Batman II.
Actually that's a relief.

Quinones added a couple of new black and white teases of Batman.

I'm not worried about him being bumped off, at least yet.

The comic is called Batman '89, so it would be a real shame to remove an original character from the universe given the potential he offers. He was there from the beginning and would have seen so much over the years. If handled correctly his importance would only grow.

This tease is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for:



An old Oswald campaign poster stuck on a street wall serving as a haunting echo from days gone by. Small touches like that create authenticity, and it's the most exciting thing I've seen so far.

Here is a nice little Easter egg of the Harvey Dent DA poster from B89. Foreshadowing many things to come.

Quinones shared another sneak peak of Keaton's Batman.



I'm convinced the Batman '89 comics will use the actors' likenesses. It will be great.
