When he's not stringing up mobsters from rooftops or racing his Batmobile across Gotham, Bruce Wayne can usually be found behind the wheel of a sports car or flying the entire Russian ballet to his yacht.

Yes, we can't wait either.Ĭhristopher Nolan's Batman trilogy is arguably the greatest Superhero trilogy in cinema history. Thankfully for fans, the Batsuit, Batmobile, and Keaton himself are all returning alongside Ezra Miller and Ben Affleck in The Flash. The Batsuit still ranks amongst the best seen in live-action, and the Batmobile has yet to be topped. What's perhaps most impressive about Keaton's time as Batman is how well the films have aged.
