Bird brain? Micheal's character - in a nod to his real life time as Batman - is said to have portrayed this latest hero, suggesting the scene may involve Birdman appearing as a figment of his imagination





PLOT - Birdman is a dark comedy that follows a former actor, who once played an iconic superhero, as he mounts a Broadway play based on a Raymond Carver short story in a bid to reclaim past glory. However, the play’s egotistical leading man threatens to throw everything down the tubes.



BIRDMAN is being directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu ("21 Grams"). He also wrote the script with Nicolas Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris and Armando Bo. The cast includes: Emma Stone, Zach Galifianakis, Zach Galifianakis, Edward Norton, Naomi Watts, Andrea Riseborough and Michael Keaton ("Batman Returns").

@marcvader1, I'm pretty sure he's supposed to look rough for the film. I thought he looked just fine in The Other Guys.

That actually.. the scales resemble Cap's from the comics. I like it but now I see why they won't go that route.

If that's Harvey Birdman the costume is terrible! If it's a wannabe hero that fails and not Birdman it's cool. If it's a serious Birdman but not THE Birdman, Chris Birdman Andersen's tattoos look bettter

It looks great for what it is!! This costume designer should've done Captain America's on Avengers! These feathers almost look like scales…The colors are great and the helmet/mask is not as lame!

Yeah I was thinking BIRRRRD MAAAN from Hannah Barbara - the plot seems silly enough, but will probably wait for Netflix

Wow.

Better than anything I've seen out of the Superman movie.

It's Birdman meets Blue Falcon (meets Condorman).

I like it!

Cap's uniform should've had scales… It should had been made of a mix of Kevlar and Adamantium. That was the only downer in the Avengers.. No scales and really bad looking helmet.

You guys do realize Michael Keaton is in his 60s now right? May be older and wrinklier but still a fine actor and look forward to seeing him in more roles!
