Joe Quinones art for the bat suits. According to Joe, some of these were very Kenner action figure inspired.

Found this on X, and thought I'd share.



If I am remembering correctly, this was a image used to give an idea of what Keaton would look like in "The Flash", from a 2021/2022 Featurette (that youtube repeatedly took down and I had to go find it elsewhere), showing various concept artwork.

Really like that design. Looks like an organic continuation of the BR suit. A worthy addition.

If we're being honest, unquestionably the best part of that otherwise execrable movie.

The suit is fine. However the Burtonverse only exist on film and in people's minds. You cannot get back what no longer exists. I wouldn't be telling the truth if I said I've seen The Flash in full since my first cinema experience.


I've watched the movie at least once after I bought it on blu ray, and I've since skipped around to re-watch the Keaton scenes.

It's one of those movies where, while you're watching it, you can never really get it out the back of your mind just how compromised the film really is. Where many, many people had their grubby little fingers in the pot. Making alterations, after alterations. HOW many scenes were scrapped? HOW many alternate endings were filmed? HOW many times was the release date delayed? It's hilarious just how much tinkering this movie endured, only for Warners to give Gunn the green light in stating that the movie is on a road to no where prior to release. Which is wild, and by saying that, I can't really fault the director Andy Muschietti for what we got. Some people want to make him the scapegoat, but the guy was coming off the IT movies, and clearly got hoodwinked into this where he soon found out he was basically reduced to a director for hire.

The bringing to fruition of seeing Keaton return as Batman was something special, but through no fault of his own, was it bittersweet in how it was handled. Or to be honest, bungled!
