MOVIE NEWS – The Flash movie merchandise unveils Michael Keaton’s Batman’s new batwing, an update from the 1989 film.

New merchandise from The Flash has revealed the first look at Michael Keaton’s new version of the Batwing, which will appear in the highly anticipated 2023 film. In the film, Barry Allen is stuck in a parallel universe, so Keaton can reprise his iconic role from Tim Burton’s Batman films, which he hasn’t played since 1992. This creates an exciting opportunity for fans to see Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne and Michael Keaton’s original character again in one film.

The return of Michael Keaton’s Batman character was highly anticipated. The preparations are further enhanced by a new piece of merchandise published on The Flash Film Brazil’s Twitter page. The iconic item shown is none other than Keaton’s batwing, which looks to be in its most advanced form yet, dubbed the “Ultimate Batwing.” Here’s a look at the massive superhero ship that’s likely to feature in next year’s DCU installment:

The original Batwing has become an iconic part of Batman history. It was introduced in Tim Burton’s first film. In an exciting scene, Batman tries to save Gotham City, but Joker is able to shoot down his beloved vehicle. This version of the Batwing has now been retired, and we can naturally assume it’s because the original took a lot of damage in that grueling battle. Batman is always updating and improving his technology whenever he can – he’s Batman after all!

Therefore, the Ultimate Batwing’s enhanced style and power may explain why Keaton’s Batman is able to fight alongside Supergirl and The Flash himself. We still don’t know for sure what the Ultimate version of the iconic Batwing has in store, but it wouldn’t be surprising if it could take on even bigger targets than its predecessor was originally designed for. One such potential adversary is General Zod, who may return in The Flash. We don’t yet know how advanced this Ultimate Batwing might be, but maybe we’ll get a taste when the trailer for the movie comes out in February 2023.

The Ultimate Batwing is a completely new concept created for Keaton’s Batman in the upcoming The Flash movie. Unlike its comic book counterpart, this Ultimate Batwing looks much more futuristic and sleek, with design elements that reflect Keaton’s technological advancements over the years. Since Keaton’s Batman is considerably older at this point in the timeline, it makes sense that he would want to update his classic styled vehicle to keep up with the times.

The Flash hits theaters on June 16, 2023.
