Batman ’89 artist Joe Quinones teases the inclusion of Michael Keaton’s unused Batsuit, which the actor was supposed to wear in Tim Burton’s Batman 3.
Batman ’89 artist Joe Quinones has revealed another behind-the-scenes look at some artwork from the upcoming comic book series, teasing the long-awaited debut of actor Michael Keaton’s unused Batman suit.
Quinones shared an uncolored drawing of Keaton’s long-lost Batsuit in a post to Twitter. The artist also posted a sketch featuring the interior of the Batcave, in which multiple Batsuits can be seen inside glass cases, with Keaton’s iconic version of the Batmobile partially visible as well.
Written by Sam Hamm and illustrated by Quinones, Batman ’89 is a digital-first comic book series that follows the continued exploits of Michael Keaton’s version of Bruce Wayne/Batman from director Tim Burton’s 1989 film Batman and its 1992 sequel Batman Returns. The series’ debut digital chapter is scheduled for release on Tuesday, July 27.
Following Batman Returns, Burton was originally supposed to helm a third live-action Batman movie starring Keaton. However, the project ultimately morphed into 1995’s Batman Forever, with the late Joel Schumacher taking over as director and Burton falling into a producer role. While technically a sequel to Batman Returns, Batman Forever acts as more of a soft reboot. Multiple key characters were recast, including Batman himself, with Val Kilmer taking over for Keaton as the Dark Knight. Years later, photos of Keaton’s prototype Batsuit from Tim Burton’s Batman 3 surfaced online.
Written by Sam Hamm and illustrated by Joe Quinones, the first chapter of Batman ’89 arrives digitally on July 27 from DC Comics. Batman ’89 #1 goes on sale in print on Aug. 10.
