Best Batman ever. I will even admit that while I love Conroy, I sometimes read Batman in Keaton's voice.

Christian Bale's still my favorite Batman (unless you can count Kevin Conroy). Keaton was great as Bats, but I never cared for his Bruce Wayne.

@grif, I think they're just riffing on the fact that New York City used to be called Gotham. I could be wrong though.

Wasn't Bob Kane's ORIGINAL concept of Batman a character called "Birdman"? lol

Michael Keaton was good with Tim Burton and His style Of Bats. And Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne/Batman was perfect for Nolan's Vision. Both did an amazing job!

Can we get real Bird Man, Blue Falcon and Space Ghost movies? I'd settle for a Saturday Morning Cartoon again!

I know WB are planning on doing a DCCU, but wouldn't it be friggin' awesome to get Keaton back for a Dark Knight Returns movie? And even Nicholson and Tommy Lee Jones back for Joker and Two-Face. I know Tommy Lee Jones was horrible as Two-Face, but he's a fvcking good actor and he's expressed regrets about his performance, so maybe he'd pull it out of his ass for a second go-around.
Keaton FTW!
