2023's The Flash movie had its fair share of issues, but Michael Keaton's return as Batman wasn't one of them. Despite decades having passed since he last played the Caped Crusader, the actor hadn't missed a beat and was a highlight in a blockbuster with very few of them.
Warner Bros.' originally planned to bring Keaton back for Batgirl—a movie he shot alongside Leslie Grace—and potential projects like Batman Beyond and Crisis on Infinite Earths.
During The Flash, we saw that Bruce Wayne had an armoury full of Batsuits, some of which were surprisingly close to the comics. Among them was a blue and grey costume with the yellow symbol, and Hot Toys is now giving fans the chance to add that unique version of Batman to their collection with an upcoming 1/6th scale figure.
Many fans have pointed out that some of the facial expressions are pretty bizarre, while it's definitely strange to see Keaton suited up in a batsuit that's such a contrast to what we saw in Tim Burton's Batman and Batman Returns.
Here's the official product description:
In The Flash, Bruce Wayne’s secret armory comes to light — a hidden bookcase in Wayne Manor’s study swings open to reveal a vault of Batsuits collected over decades from his crime-fighting past. Among them is the distinctive Blue & Grey Suit, a design that pays homage to Batman’s comic book roots.
Hot Toys proudly presents the 1/6th scale Batman (Blue & Grey Suit) Collectible Figure, masterfully crafted to capture Michael Keaton’s presence in this nostalgic yet reimagined suit. This exclusive figure is only available in a limited quantity of 1,500 units in selected markets. The figure features a newly developed blue colored cowl head with separate rolling eyeballs and three interchangeable lower face sculpts that reveal Batman’s steely determination. The muscular body is clad in the newly developed Blue & Grey Batsuit, meticulously textured and detailed to reflect its cinematic design. It features a wired cape that allows for dramatic posing, and the yellow utility belt with multiple pouches adds a vintage flair that recalls Batman’s classic comic silhouette.
Equipped for action, Batman comes with signature gadgets, including a Grapnel Gun and a rope-attached Batarang, along with eight interchangeable hands for a range of dynamic display options. The figure is finished with a specially designed figure stand featuring two interchangeable graphic cards.
The Blue & Grey Suit unites the timeless legacy of Michael Keaton’s Batman with the bold visual spirit of the comics — making this collectible figure an essential addition for fans of The Flash and Batman.
