After 31 years, Batman finally returns again. Although some feel that Val Kilmer’s turn as the Dark Knight in batman forever is somewhat underrated, Michael Keaton was certainly missed as he just owned that role. It cannot be overstated how much Keaton and Tim Burton reinvented Batman in the eyes of the public. It’s taken for granted now, but in 1989, when Batman was still seen as campy, and the casting of Keaton was controversial, once the movie finally dropped, so did everyone’s jaws.

A big reason The Flash is highly anticipated is because the movie features the long overdue return of Michael Keaton in the role. And with this event, also comes the return of the merchandising, which was also big for the 1989 classic as the Batman symbol was almost literally everywhere. Hell, it’s one of the reasons Jack Nicholson could’ve retired from acting after the first Batman, since he secured a percentage of the sales. CBM now gives us a look at the new life-accurate action figure of Michael Keaton in the cowl and cape from The Flash.

The figure comes from the company Hot Toys. The official Instagram account just released details on the new figure. Their official announcement reads,
