BATMAN '89 EXCLUSIVE: Michael Keaton - From the Archives

I never liked Keaton as Batman... He's a good actor though

THE BEST BATMAN...BUT IT WAS MAINLY ABOUT PERSONA...VOICE. KEATON WASN'T HUGE, HIS CHIN WAS FAKE, I THINK THEY GAVE HIM MORE HAIR..BUT IT WAS THAT SPIRIT, THE VOICE THE SOUL IT JUST ALL CAME OUT OF HIM AND ON THE THE SCREEN.

he is a little guy but he was the best batman!! i miss him in movies, he was funny in "the other guys"

He was good in the Burton films, but he'd suck as Batman/Wayne in Nolan's films.

HERES SOME RETRO

Keaton reminds me of a thinner version of my dad thats why I could not take him seriously as Bats...
I like Bale's "Bat Voice" it makes the character more intimidating...

i stood in line to see this movie back in '89 for like 3 hours on opening weekend with my father. this movie holds close memories of my teenage years cuz i always collected Batman comics and now FINALLY we had a movie

creepy pic...ya'll agree?

@deadshot exactly y bale is the best batman

@every1 every1 agrees that bale ist he best bruce wayne but he is also the best batman cuz of his voice but i think keaton is a second....tho if kilmer had a good director and writer like bale and keaton both had then kilmer imo wouldve been better than keaton but still 2nd to bale

the best batman, with keaton, you will never suspect that a multi millionaire bruce wayne is batman. when he is wearing the cowl a totally different persona, speaks less and always in the dark. what should a batman be.

One of my favorite actors of all time, Bale my favorite Batman & Keaton is my close second I enjoy Keaton many people compare his & Bales Batman but looking at it both have done great Keaton's Batman is silent, cool, calm & collective his inspired Batman the Animated series, Bale's is the bada**, raging beast, obessed with solving cases and protecting Gotham much like on The Batman cartoon, Batman Gotham Knight, & the darker comics of DC, I love both of these guys as The Batman. I wish Keaton could have a cameo in The Dark Knight Rises maybe he and Bale as Batman when Batman is walking and Keaton smoothly says "Nice suit or nice outfit" that would be so nice. Michael Keaton along with Christopher Reeve paved the way for many comic films we see today in DC, Marvel and any other I am honored to have both of Keaton's Batman films in my collection, heck maybe one day if he is available if WB/DC decides to do a Batman Beyond live action movie "sort of BladeRunner style updated" Keaton can play old Bruce, and maybe one day also Chris Nolan may say hey I want to do another Batman film lets say 15-15 years down the road and that film is The Dark Knight Returns, Bale can play an older Batman I would luv that, I know at one time Zack Snyder wanted to do The DK Retruns may 15-20 years from now and have Bale again as Batman sort of what Quiton Territno is doing with Kill Bill 3, but Michael Keaton is the man, with Batman 89 the film showed us you can change certain things that need to be changed from the comics and still remain respectful to the comics such as Batman suit, great actors, great franchise may Batman continue on the right way, God bless U all :)

DEADSH0T I feel U & agree so much when U said "I like Bale's "Bat Voice" it makes the character more intimidating" I agree that is the right way because Batman is intimidating, great observation DEADSHOT!

I'm waiting for Bale's Batman to clear his throat during the next movie and say, "Okay. You know what? I'm just gonna talk normal now. I'm gonna be mute by the time I'm 50 if I keep this up."

Michael Keaton's Batman is the most important because it showed the general public that Batman doesn't have to be a silly cheesy character which was the accepted view before the 89 Batman movie. So I hold Keaton in very high regard for his performance it saved Batman in the modern age.
