Am I to assume that when Barry course corrected on letting his mother die, that eliminated the timelines where Keaton Batman and Calle's Supergirl die and thus never happened?

It's been a while since I saw the Flash TV series, but they go much more in depth explaining this. I don't know if Barry eliminated them, so much as he just changed the trajectory that he was on, and went into a different multiverse...

I think many of us want that.

With a better unmasked HS.

It is laughably bad.

Am I the only one who wants a redo of the Returns suit?

I’m sure a lot of use want that. Even with having the new ‘89 figure on order, I would still love an updated Returns figure. The cowl itself is one of my favorite cowl designs closely followed by the Forever Panther suit cowl

To be honest I doubt I'd buy any of those Batman specialty suits myself. Probably just stick to his main suit from this film, the '89 and Returns.

Are these on display yet again somewhere? Are they really making them?
I absolutely want that golden-age/pulp-inspired "Caped Crusader".
Though, I wrongly assumed they might come with a face plate to put in there. Is there no face and eyes included?
That's a problem I hadn't even considered.

Honestly, I was not thinking of him for a Keaton DCCU related costume display (haven't even seen the movie), but to pose among other pulp heroes: Zorro, Shadow, the Phantom, etc.
So, he will need a face and eyes.
Or fill in some white lenses, and the likeness doesn't even have to be Keaton's, could just as well be Douglas Fairbanks Sr..

Bill Finger - "Batman was a combination of Douglas Fairbanks [who played Zorro] and Sherlock Holmes."
Bill Finger- "My idea was to have Batman be a combination of Douglas Fairbanks [Zorro], Sherlock Holmes, The Shadow, and Doc Savage as well."

Bob Kane -"Zorro’s use of a mask to conceal his identity as Don Diego gave me the idea of giving Batman a secret identity…Bruce Wayne would be a man of means who put on a façade of being effete. Zorro rode a black horse called Tornado and would enter a cave and exit from a grandfather clock in the living room. The bat-cave was inspired by this cave in Zorro. I didn't want Batman to be a Superhero with superpowers…So I made Batman an ordinary human being; he is just an athlete who has the physical prowess of Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., who was my all-time favorite hero in the movies.”

This is my position as well. I don’t really recognize this movie as canon. And the way the movie worked out, the events with Keaton’s Batman were erased anyway, so its not canon even in that story, so much as a possibility that got played out endlessly. Props to Keaton for doing great work in the role, but to me his true last appearance is Returns.

Yes. And who knows. Nothing makes sense anymore after the young Barry figure reveal.

 

[Aybaig]

If they eventually do all of these, I'll just take "Returns" and "Arctic Suit". That looks so sick!

If anyone finds a pic of Supergirl please post it if possible! It almost looks like they fixed her paint but I can't be sure. If they fixed improved her I'll be much more enthusiastic to buy all these figures lol. I would really like those extra suits, I wish they'd clarify if they'll actually make them or not. Sad there's no Foara or Zod yet though.

Canon or not I still like the idea of having an older version of Keaton in a Burtonverse setup. Presumably he didn't retire after Batman Returns. If I get this figure I'd likely display him unmasked as the cowl is my least favourite part of the suit.

The alternate suits would be nice to have to. Blue & grey and the caped crusader especially.

What even is this, just looks like they're just showing what they have, nothing new.

 

[Mike86]

I actually might wind up passing on this now. I have the new 89 figure pre-ordered and already have the Batman Returns version.

I'm considering getting this to make a "Batman 3" display, with a Robin Williams Riddler and Billy Dee Williams Two-Face. A Marlon Wayans Robin would probably be harder to put together.

It's probably hoping too much that one of the earlier Keaton faceplates would fit in this guy's head. I think a "super wrinkled, old" Keaton would be slightly wrong for "Batman 3."

It's funny, I have a stronger personal and emotional connection to an unmade, unreal "Batman 3" than I do to either "Batman Forever" or "The Flash."

It seems like they added makeup at least, I almost wonder if they changed the hair a bit too, I sure hope so! I'll also post if I find any more info (sorry for derailing this thread lol)

It’s not perfect, but I do appreciate they’ve continued the Burton-verse in the comics lately.

This is clearer in her own discussion thread..

Still a great looking figure, but just really hard to look at it and not be reminded of that complete cheesefest of a movie.
