Sorry Michael Keaton fans but here the wake up call!

Proper fans of ‘The Batman’ have already stated Christian Bale’s version of Batman is by far the better version, more convincing and much more believable.

Heres one person verdict, most Batman fans will go by this;

Without a doubt Mr Keaton is a fantastic actor, I love him as Beetlejuice but I just never thought he made a good Batman…

…good luck to him, whatever hes doing!

PS – This is my real name, but I’m just Chris, not Christian himself.

Michael Keaton is a comedic genius. I have to agree with most of you on here about Multiplicity, that was a great movie… most of you have forgotten to mention “Night Shift”, that was one of his best comedic roles. As for Dramatic roles, how about Pacific Heights?

(maybe you’ve already linked it but…) the main interview with Keaton is in the independent online and is quite interesting.

I always liked him and I have sort of a weird idea..that his best film is Extreme Measures.

He could be cast into SpaceBalls 2: The Search for more money.

I LOVED Multiplicity. My brother and I, to this day, quote scenes from that movie to each other and no one has a freakin’ clue what we’re talking about. That movie, and another funny movie everyone seems to love to hate is Overboard with our fave Kurt Russell and the pre-botoxed to hell Goldie Hawn. We still laugh at it when it comes on tv.

I don’t care if I am in the minority here, but Michael Keaton was and always will be The Batman. His turn as the Dark Knight is the best of all others, Chris Bale included.

What I’d like to know is why Tim Burton seems to have abandoned Keaton. Why hasn’t Burton used Keaton in any more movies ? Burton uses Johnny Depp over and over….where’s Keaton’s offers ? I think Keaton may have been a better Wonka than Depp.

Uh, yeah.

Michael Keaton did some of his best work in comedic roles (Mr. Mom, Johnny Dangerously and Multiplicity). “My Life” was probably his best role….anyway, Multiplicity bad? Whatever man. I am a HUGE Michael Keaton fan too (you and I are very similar Star Wars geeks, etc.), and for you to rip Multiplicity is crazy. It was one of the films where Keaton should’ve been nominated for an Oscar; and I’m deady serious about that.

I have no idea why comedic roles are snubbed from the Oscars year after year (Jim Carrey in “Man on the Moon”). Ask any actor, and they’ll tell you that comedic roles are by far the most difficult to carry. So when one pulls it off well, they should be rewarded in my opinion. In Multiplicity, Keaton plays FOUR DIFFERENT ROLES AT THE SAME TIME!!! Each one of them very distinct and funny too. There’s the “macho” clone, the “gay” clone and the…well, “less than intelligent” clone.

If you’re a real M. Keaton fan, you would not brush off this film so easily. It is nearly a work of genius. I’ll keep reading your stuff though anyway….PEACE!
