Accompanying the image was a quote from executive producer, Bruno Heller who talked about the upcoming show and the aspects it would explore:

It’s really the chance to make him the center of a story and explain that journey: How did he get from being a young SAS soldier to being a butler in America? And it also gives us a chance to create a real world around him, a world in England that fits the whole DC universe. It’s surprising to all of us the depth and range that you can go to with this character.

From the sound of things, they just may have an interesting story in mind for the future Batman butler.
