Holy throwback, Batman! The Flash trailer raced online Sunday during the big game, revealing Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton’s Batman returns after Ezra Miller’s time-meddling speedster Barry Allen accidentally creates an alternate reality with no metahumans. Warner Bros. also released a Super Bowl spot with even more footage, showcasing seven new Keaton Batsuits that the Dark Knight didn’t wear in 1989’s Batman or 1992’s Batman Returns. It may be the Burton-Verse, but the scene features a nod from even further back in time: the classic symbol of the 1966 Batman TV series that starred Adam West as the blue and gray-clad caped crusader.
I think I can mention this now: I was in the costume department on “The Flash”, and got the privilege to work on Michael Keaton’s Bat-suits… including these variants! (I specifically asked if I could do a grey suit, ‘cos I’m a sad old fanboy too!) pic.twitter.com/LX2I4z3IAy
Batman ‘66 symbol…my idea…! As was the grappling guns in holsters and the golden-age ears on the cowl! I was in fanboy heaven! Luckily I had a great lead designer, Alexandra Byrne, who was very receptive to my wacky notions! https://t.co/NUEHA09e6H
