Michael Keaton is here to get nuts.

The new trailer for DC's The Flash goes all in on Michael Keaton's Batman.

Sure, we learn a bit about the catastrophic consequences of Barry Allen (controversial actor Ezra Miller(opens in a new tab)) going back in time to save his parents from dying. But we also see a lot more of Keaton's take on Bruce Wayne as he reprises the role from Tim Burton's 1989 and 1992 films. He monologues about dead parents, flies the Batplane, and then leaps from it with no parachute. (His cape seems to be a big help there, though.)

And if you thought Michael Keaton was the only Batman we'd be seeing in this movie, boy do we have a surprise for you: Ben Affleck makes an appearance! Man of Steel's General Zod (Michael Shannon) and Supergirl (Sasha Calle) also pop up, making this a massive DC crossover event... that also happens to be about the Flash.

The Flash hits theaters June 16.
