What Tim Burton’s Batman Forever Would Have Looked Like

8. His New Batsuit

Thanks to sculptor Jose Fernandez, we have some idea of what Batman's new outfit would have looked like. He was the same artist who sculpted Catwoman's cowl in Batman Returns and the Robin suit in Batman and Robin and he made this suit up for Keaton before he left the project.

It's a pretty radical departure from the all-black suit of the first two Burton movies, but that might not have been the worst thing given that the Bat had used this colour scheme before both in the comics and on the screen.

Crucially, the suit would also have had a moveable cowl for the first time, giving Keaton more of a chance to move his neck (though that stiff style he developed did have some charm in the first two movies).
