DC's The Flash movie trailer reveals Michael Keaton's Batman return, with the actor donning the Batsuit again in the upcoming movie. Ezra Miller will lead The Flash film as Barry Allen, reprising his DC Extended Universe role in his first solo movie. However, he'll be joined by other DC heroes in The Flash movie including Keaton's Batman from Tim Burton's 80s & 90s movies, Ben Affleck's DCEU Batman and new-to-the-universe Sasha Calle as Supergirl. IT helmer Andy Muschietti directs The Flash from a script by Christina Hodson (Birds of Prey: Harley Quinn).
During production on The Flash, Muschietti posted teaser images of Miller's Flash suit, Keaton's Batman suit and Calle's Supergirl suit that just showed their respective logos, but never revealed the full costumes. An additional teaser image featured a Batman costume logo with the Flash's red and gold logo painted over it, though it wasn't clear what exactly the image meant for the film's story. Further looks at the movie were revealed unofficially by photographers, with The Flash movie set photos revealing Keaton's Bruce Wayne, Calle's full Supergirl costume and Affleck's Batcyle. However, now an official look at the movie has been unveiled.
During DC FanDome 2021, a first look at Keaton's Batman return in The Flash movie was revealed, check it out in the video below. While the footage doesn't reveal a full or front-facing look at the Caped Crusader, it does showcase the cowl of Keaton's Batsuit within his Batcave. There's additionally footage of what appears to be Wayne Manor, which could be from Keaton's universe, though the inclusion of the multiverse in the storyline means that it could be a different universe entirely. Finally, at the end of The Flash movie trailer, one of the Barry Allens is pulling a sheet off a vehicle, which seems to be teasing Keaton's Batmobile.
Although Keaton's full Batman costume wasn't revealed in this Flash movie footage, the shot of his cowl is enough to confirm the actor will be donning the same or a similar costume from his 80s/90s movies because it looks the same. The actor recently spoke about wearing the costume more than three decades later and claimed it still fit, which indicated it's not only the same design but the same physical version of the suit. While it seems unlikely The Flash movie wouldn't build a new costume for Keaton, the prospect of him wearing the exact same suit from his Batman movies is certainly exciting.
As for the Batcave and Batmobile, much of The Flash movie trailer seems to take place within Keaton's Batcave which may confirm it to be a key location in the film. Not only is there the shot of Keaton's cowl, but other shots of Miller's two Barry Allens and the brief look at those two characters with Supergirl all appear to be within the Batcave. Other shots seem to be from inside Wayne Manor, which may mean that this location is the superheroes' home base of sorts. Further, as previously stated, the final shot of the trailer hints at the Batmobile's return, though a first look at the vehicle is not actually shown. More from movie is sure to be revealed when the proper The Flash trailer is released - including a full look at Keaton's Batman costume and perhaps his Batmobile.
