Michael Keaton's Batman returns in The Flash's multiverse story, and the trailer shows that he's significantly upgraded his Batsuits and tech.
Michael Keaton's Batman has made four key upgrades to his Batsuit and tech in The Flash. Over three decades after his previous performance as the Dark Knight in Batman Returns, Keaton will finally don the cowl again in The Flash alongside Ben Affleck's Batman and other major DC heroes. With The Flash opening the doors of the DC's multiverse, Keaton's return as Batman is also a central component of the movie's story.
Additionally, Keaton's Batman has a new storage area for his multiple Batsuits, each fitted on a mannequin. Batman and Batman Returns showed Keaton's Bruce Wayne storing his cape and cowl in a sealed chamber and keeping them hung up in a closet similar to regular clothing. Tim Burton's Batman films admittedly did not provide that extensive a look at Keaton's Batcave, possibly to budgetary and technological restrictions at the time.
Another of the Batsuits has a holster with two handguns and a bat emblem similar to that of Adam West's Batman. Additionally, another Batsuit seems to be one designed for aquatic missions, complete with a breathing mask. Meanwhile, the one to the left of the center suit has a hood and goggles, somewhat similar to Ben Affleck's Knightmare Batman in Zack Snyder's Justice League.
In Tim Burton's Batman Returns, Keaton's Batman has what appears to be a hang glider either built into his suit or a part of his cape that allows him to glide over the streets of Gotham. The design of the Bat-glider is fairly cumbersome in terms of how it opens up. However, decades later, in The Flash, Keaton's Batman seems to have outdone even Christian Bale's Caped Crusader with a cape that opens into an agile wingsuit with a simple spread of both arms.
