Michael Keaton

He still has the only threatening moment as a Bruce Wayne in a flick. (Batfleck’s butthurt to Alfred doesn’t count neither does Baleman’s fight in prison or climb out of Baneiverse)

You men this one

YOU WANNA GET NUTS???

He's a good actor

Best Batman and Bruce by far. BTAS even copied the look of the movies.

It’s was the 80s nigga

the only good batman

I always thought Michael Keaton was kind of corny

Exactly. Keaton is umatched as Batman and Bruce.

He’s the only one so far to show how fucking damaged Bruce is.

well he's more of a comedic actor.

He's got a mean mug

I liked him as The Vulture, they should have done more with that.
should I watch Birdman?

retards

I have no idea and on top of all of that
He was a shitty batman
Just really corny and unintentionally funny

Keaton's Batman is pathetic and terrible, the entire film is a bad corny adaptation and it deserves the 71% it has on rottentomatoes. I will never not cringe at the opening scene where Batmanlet does the ridiculous posing in a well lit area and we're supposed to believe the thugs think he's a supernatural being, even after they shoot him down within 5 seconds of his introduction.

because it's a kids comic and movie

based and redpilled
that for some reason grown adults consider to be a great movie

nostalgia

It's not for kids. It is almost the most brutal Batman movie, ironically enough. It has a lot of people getting shot or killed in believable ways, people fucking gets a bit into corruption and organized crime. It's as much of a kids movie is as Ghostbusters is, so not at all.

I agree, but then again Burton's Batman was a trash film, so it was all par for the course

>not handsome
>not chad

t. Nolan Zoomer

It was a controversial casting at the time because Keaton was perceived just as a comedic actor. But it worked. It's called casting against type.

the film is trash you nostalgic fuck

Batman is still grear but dated, Returns is the best Batman film.

...

>How did he ever get the role as Batman?
Because Burton thought casting a guy that would be on a last place in any list with actors that could be batman, was a great idea.

In reality Bruce Wayne as Batman is comic book bullshit, just like clark kent glasses. Both of them never cared about disguise, and the fact these directors actually gave a fuck about this, means they have never read a comic book in their life.

>great visuals
>well played villain
>dark atmosphere
I agree that Returns is even better but even the 1989 Batman had some pretty iconic moments.

>played Batman and bats are basically birds
>played a washed up superhero actor known for his role as "Birdman"
>played an actual Birdman
>played a vulture capitalist who fucked over the McDonalds brothers
Tell me about Michael Keaton, why does he like the birds?

>bats are basically birds
Did you fail biology?

Burton just used the two movies as excuses for his quirky bullshit.

Reminder: Michael Keaton thought he was a comedian before Tim Burton got a hold of him and made him fuck his girlfriend.

Fuck the “fans”.

I forgot just how funny he was until The Other Guys. Best troll character of all time.

Which one?

Goddamn it I hate zoomers and their obsession with muscles

Did you fail english? They pretty much are birds

Kill yourself.

His deadpan is amazing but then he goes and does a multiplicity and blows it. He should have been part of a comedy duo.

He kinda looks like Adam West

Johnny Dangerously is kino

the pacing was really crap, individual scenes were kinographic though.

>mammal
>bird
Consider killing yourself for the betterment of human species

Yeah I remember birdman being pretty good. It's made to look like it's all done in one shot which I thought was pretty neat

You really can't see any similarities between birds and bats? And yes I know birds aren't mammals.

Yes, they both fly. So your statement is about as retarded as claiming dogs and cats are basically the same because they both walk on 4 legs.

According to you dogs and cats are both mammals so its perfects fine to say they are similar/

You are right, saying that birds and bats are basically the same is even more retarded than claiming dogs and cats are basically the same. Just kill yourself already.

>Keaton is umatched as Batman and Bruce. He’s the only one so far to show how fucking damaged Bruce is.
THIS.
>why was Keaton cast, he's not swol
- he has inner darkness that's not Bale's sociopathic perfectionism, it's a schoolboyish darkness that has matured into an Americanized gothic European obsession with twinges of madness, like that which festers in many blueblood families, but pro-active, heroic

- he believably carries himself with the aloofness and preoccupation of a billionaire playboy, and has the twinkle of deep intelligence and the squint of studious curiosity toward technology and city topography

- he's the best ACTOR who ever played Batman and Wayne. He goes mano y mano with Jack Nicholson and out acts Jack. The get nuts scene of course. This is the first and only time it ever happened to Jack.

- he has range. Bale's Wayne doesn't. Keaton gets fucking hurt in the movie. He acts differently. His physicality is different. Who here can't picture Keaton's gait as he lurches toward the church from the Batwing and up the staircase. You can picture Keaton's face smiling as he fires at the muggers. Or when he looks up in the cowl.

- he unironically represented men during the 80s and the early 90s: smaller but smarter and faster, more erudite. Fit but not on roids. A man who keeps his shirt on but his tuxedo pants often come off to fuck blonde shiksas like we do in Tel Aviv.

>Tim Burton got a hold of him and made him fuck his girlfriend.
What?

He had a great working relationship with Tim Burton. Beetlejuice was a huge success. Burton is an introvert. As an introvert, you only want to be around those that you already have a good relationship with. Like Johnny Depp. I think it was more of a personal preference rather than a business one

Its part of his directorial style.

He was a 10/10 in the 80s. Women loved everything you just described, just look at Phil Collins

agreed.
This. I once had a conversation at work with someone that did not understand bats was throwing folks out of a tower. Implying they are dead.

Virgin Keaton vs Chad Kilmer

I'd give 90s Val a kiss from a rose if you know what I mean. Schumacher was a whole different thing.
