As the caption says...
Yeh I think Michael Gough and the actor who played the Commissioner are the through lines for all four movies and of course Chris O'Donnell links B&R to Forever. I think for The Flash film though where canon is more than a word it may raise too many questions to have Keaton and Clooney show up. Just speculation but I don't think many fans will be crying over the exclusion.
Who knows, it was the 90s era of superheroes; it was such a wild time where "canon" was simply a word. Was there any throughline within the 4 films' productions who could speak to a continuity being present? Given Joel Schumacher's fractious time with Batman & Robin, operating under a mandate to sell toys, I doubt anyone even cared if that film tied back to the 1989 one. I suppose there was Michael Gough playing Alfred in all the movies?
I'll say one thing for Batman & Robin; like Ben Affleck, George Clooney was wasted potential as an interesting take on Bruce Wayne. He has a bit more physicality than Michael Keaton, and sat better than the pouty'ness of Val Kilmer.
Isn't his Batman technically a continuation of Michael Keaton's anyway?
..
Makes sense that they wrap filming this week, they'll probably want something to show off at DC Fandome.
Continuing the trend of costume shots, here's another, cryptic Instagram post from the director; showing Keaton's batman costume painted with the flash logo;
Michael Keaton mentioned in an recent interview that putting on the Batsuit & cowl felt 'shockingly normal & a little bit emotional'.
I could go with the presumption here that if Keaton could be getting back to his old self once again while he is playing the role of Batman for the third time in his acting career. I would personally love to see him exceed his previous performances from Batman & Batman Returns while he is playing the role in The Flash. If fans see that performance come to light on the big screen with the possibility that it could be better than Ben Affleck's Batman; it could be a wonderful experience for the fans to see that unfold right in front of them. Although if BatFleck's performance is also seen to be as equally good in this movie; we could be in for a treat here if the right script goes their way.
Given Keaton's return to the costume I thought I'd remind myself of the Burton films' tone ... And hmmm.
I had forgotten just how goofy they were, and closer to the Adam West show than latter-day Bats. Especially the sequel, where Tim Burton basically got carte blanche to go wild. The point being whether this Flash film will steer back to that tone or retrofit Keaton as yet another gritty version.
There's a rumour going around online that Henry Cavill has been spotted on set with his Superman suit on him while he's with Batman.
Also there some video footage here of the new BatPod in Glasgow.
Been a couple of accidents on set with the batcycle; thankfully nobody was seriously injured. What's also interesting is that once more, Glasgow is standing in for the US - with the Indy 5 shoot itself in Glasgow the other day. Must be a tidy little economy up there in the city.
Well in fairness Batman does help The Flash a bit in Flashpoint in the comic
They do recognize there is 2 flashes as in multiverse. As Miller appeared on the TV show in Crisis and they are (at the moment at least) having Gustin having a similar cameo in the movie. With Supergirl ending this season they would not have too many problems with two of them. Leave them seperate for now and maybe if possible have them seperated by Crisis and then can come back together for a big movie or smaller crossovers.
I just presume it to be a stunt mask, something reinforced for the rider, while looking enough like Batman's mask it can be hidden either with smart editing, or CGI. Extra padding or another layer underneath the latex. All superhero costumes look crap on set anyway, thought we'd all know that by now 😁
A lot of superheroes costumes are accentuated with FX these days: be it removing the wrinkles in the suit for a better form-fitting look (I only recall a Black Panther before/after there); actually rendering the rest of the costume (see every iron man film after #1, Downey only wearing "shoulders"); or just adding capes after the fact, cos it's less hassle than an unruly cloth (see the pictures in this thread!)
Not sure if that’s Affleck or a stunt man but it looks like it might be cowl designed as a helmet
I take a grain of salt with these pictures wait until the CGI and after production is done and they will be very different. I mean is you see pictures of The flash TV suit most of the time you think its looks like a very weirs PVC skin tight s** suit and then you see it in TV and it looks different
That looks so stupid! It's actually hilarious looking. How big is his head?
Where are they filming BTW?
It appears Batfleck has got a new Batpod.
