PrimeTime Live Batman Returns Michael Keaton Interview June 11 1992 1989Batman.com 1989 

Michael Keaton is and always will be the best batman ever his performance was absolutely fantastic. He is gifted at acting ☺

Still my favorite Batman

all of this controversy over him playing Batman and all along he was destined to be the best one to ever do it. Keaton is by far the best Batman and i highly doubt anybody will ever come along to take that title from him.

What he says about celebrity and people's need to expose themselves as almost a "sickness" is so true. Look where we are now with reality TV, social media, selfie culture... Keaton is a true old school movie star. All class.

Wow, what an amazing piece of history! Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Tim Burton, Michelle Pfeiffer.... and Mr. Rogers - all talking about Keaton! Rare, indeed!

His face is also a lot more expressive than Bale's.His piercing eyes the movement of his eyebrows his stare,cold full of apathy or dangerous..insane.His enemies define him of he did his enemies?

Michael Keaton a funny, talented humble person.

The intro. music is so soothing...I miss the 90’s.

The Best Batman!

My all time favourite Batman flick hands down.

I think that was one of the core strengths and weaknesses between the franchises then and now. Keaton, Nicholson, Burton, Pfeifer and Co. were all grounded people that were well aware that what they were doing was ultimately heightened theater, and thus delivered fantastic performances that stayed on the screen. These days, in these increasingly ludicrous times, this world *is* the theater.

1:05 gave me chills! Take a note, Bale and Affleck! That's how it's done!

3:44 OH MY! that vintage VHS effect... very authentic!

Now that's how you say it. "I'm Batman"

Michael Keaton is such a incredible actor and so under estimated, he's played some fantastic characters in batman, beetlejuice, white noise, jackie brown.. such a verastile actor, i dont think theres a part he couldnt pay plus hes sexy as hell !!! ;)

Keaton is from all batman movies The best batman

Interviewer: The truth is, I'm not Batman. Keaton: Don't ever forget that. *smiles*

I like his eyebrows

He sounds so hot when he says "I'm Batman"

"Don't ever forget that!" lol The ending was epic.

Loved that suave ending. "And don't ever forget that."

i love this movie

I feel kind of bad for Sean Young. She missed out on Batman not once but twice. She was the original Vicki Vale until an injury forced her out of the first movie, and was beaten to the part of Catwoman by Michelle Pfeiffer. She's obviously a huge fan of Batman and was desperate for a role in the films. She's a really good actress too, it's a shame she never got cast in any of the sequels.

I think as an acting stand point Keaton was The Best! I mean Tim Burton's Batman world is my over all preferred even though I love The Nolan Trilogy. I mean Nicholson just is The Joker, Dany Devito is The Penguin, and dear god, Michelle Pfeiffer as Cat Woman could even make the straightest woman question her sexuality. The whole plots of those films, and the rich Gothic atmosphere topped with all those fine actors is just right. Keaton, Nicholson, Devito, Pfeiffer ..BATMAN!!! -MBK

Keaton: You're chilling' on the Batman thing. Reporter: Yeah, frankly, but then I'm not Batman. Keaton: That's right. And don't ever forget that. (mic drop) (Batman music starts) (epic ending)

I was born just five days earlier. I came into the world June 6th, 1992!!

I love Catwoman. She's like the only female comic book character who appeals to me. She's like a real woman with real emotions and real struggles in life, she gets over them and yet instead of bitching about them, she's having fun within the darkness that she lives in and tries to hide them in the masquerade of a bad girl because she knows that revealing them would make her vulnerable and..and at the same time she is comfortable enough to show her vulnerability to an angry brooding (and a bit psychotic) man who is also her greatest enemy.

Thanks Tim Burton Micheal Keaton always the best batman ,bale a close second

No one has or can be a better batman

Reporter: “Then again I’m not Batman” Keaton: “That’s right and don’t ever forget that.”

Whoever wants Michael Keaton to come back to play Batman, will give a Like! ♥ ️👍

His early to mid-80's mullet was up there with Mel Gibson's Lethal Weopon mullet.

I like Keaton as Batman. Looks be honest Bale is one of my favorite actor I don't like violent movie but my favorite bale movie is American Psycho The problem with Bale as Batman is two things Number one: His voice. Look I understand he is a well known millionaire so of course if he is going to beat up guys at night not only does he need a mask but he also needs to disguise his voice so yeah it makes perfect sense why he is doing that Problem with the Voice: the problem with his Batman voice its distracting and its very hard to take this Bad ass seriously when he is talking loke someone with a bad cold, At times I am trying my best to say Bale is badman but with that voice its hard not to laugh when he is using it. Number two: the mask I absolutely dislike how bale Looks wearing the mask Sometimes I wonder how much make up they use to hide the red lines on bale face after he takes off the mask because its looks like his face is squash and mashed up together. As a result its hard take him seriously or to be intimidated by him looking like that. Ever heard of a fitting bro? I would be lying if Bale Batman movie sucks because they dont suck they are really good But the problem is that I love Batman when I watch Batman I wanna see BATMAN The issue is that the the New Batman movies Villain looks kooler than Batman himself I find myself watching the new Batman movies because of heath Ledger Joker or Tom Hardy bane. Which completely makes Batman Not important yeah he has to fight them but Bale Batman looks so out of place and un develop Yes Bale is a Good Bruce wayne but then Again how often do you see Bruce wayne in the comics or Cartoon? Not often at all. Michael Keaton is the perfect Batman and the perfect wayne He doesn't have to work on his voice because the costume itself is intimidating. When you look at Bale and Keaton Batman, Keaton looks more comfortable he truly acts and believe that he is Batman I like Keaton Bruce wayne because he's truly brings out the real Bruce wayne The real Bruce Wayne is Batman Bruce wayne whole identity is the Batman Look at the comics and Cartoon you rarely see Bruce wayne Bruce wayne whole Love and passion is Batman Bale bruce wayne wear a mask he tries to pretend to be a blunt rich boy who gets the girls drive the fast car but in reality he is at war with himself He wants and then don't want to be Batman He always doubting if Batman is really good for Gotham, which makes a great movie and hero but thats not Batman Keaton portrays the real Batman The real Batman has trouble being Bruce Wayne He throw parties like the Bale bruce wayne but he isn't as charismatic or smooth as Bale simply because Bruce wayne spends little time being Bruce Wayne therefore has problems being Bruce Wayne which is closely resembles what Batman is really like. You see Keaton Bruce Wayne at his house party taking invisible trying to see and hear what people think of him that way he can develop a mask or some kind of way to play bruce Wayne or in Batman returns to see Bruce Wayne sitting in the dark waiting by the window for the Bat signal because in reality Bruce Wayne Is Batman and all he knows how to do is to be Batman and I believe that's why Keaton was the best Batman also because he looks the best in the costume

His eyes are the bat logo! 14:23 "and dont ever forget that" (that interviewer is not Batman) BOSS

Say Beetlejuice three times..

for me Keaton is the best Batman, 2nd Val Kilmer

The only Batman for me, and he wasn't the first one I saw either, which usually is the case when faving someone for an appearence. Never liked Bale in general, for unknown reason. None of the other actors are even worth mentioning haha.

that was awesome oldschool video footage thanks for posting blip!

Ahhhh if we only knew what was to come . . .

The man is too cool for skool

I'm Batman.

Wonder how different Batman Forever would've been if Keaton returned and Robin Williams was cast as the Riddler.

Who would of thought that mr mom would b the best Batman!

The Best batman 🦇

I want to write that my name is Josh Tate and I'm writing that the year 2024 will not only be the 35th anniversary of Tim Burton's Batman film but it will also be Batman's 85th anniversary year too.

thanks for posting

Keaton is the only one for me!👌😎👉🦇❤️

Michael Keaton kind of reminds me of myself, and likely MANY of us.

Both Pfeiffer and Keaton were deaf in their masks.

I wonder why they never made a trilogy with Keaton he would've been fenomenal in a third movie! Perhaps against the Riddler!

13:20 ... that scene in Iron Man 2 is making so much more sense now.

Dating hot Courtney Cox too before her stardom in Friends. Lucky fella eh, good times Mr Keaton.

I love Catwoman. She's like the only female comic book character who appeals to me. She's like a real woman with real emotions and real struggles in life, she tops them and yet instead of bitching about them, she's having fun within the darkness that she lives in and tries to hide them in the masquerade of a bad girl because she knows that revealing them would make her vulnerable and..and at the same time she would reveal them to the love of her life - an angry brooding (and a bit psychotic) man - who is also her enemy.

For me Kevin Conroy is my batman but Michael Keaton is a solid second.

Great Stuff! Best Batman ever IMHO. Now I'm hoping for a Beetlejuice sequel!

"Actress Courtney Cox from tv's Family Ties" So weird how thats what she was known for before Friends or Ace Ventura

0:45 good old st.louis arch

Keaton is batman Bale just wanted to be like him The One and Original

This reminds me of the story of the soccer players Ronaldo from Brazil and Cristiano Ronaldo from Portugal.

Well, I have a question. Is Michael Keaton really a martial artist?

batman and superman rode horses!

Adrian Toomes!

Keaton still the best Batman after Kevin Conroy

This guys borrowed Jack Nicholson’s eyebrows

Birdman if is Stupet and sally that is the More Stupet ever made for Hem

Cool hobbies.

hola

Michelle Pfeiffer was a great Catwoman but I think Sean Young could have been a great Catwoman too.

god. monin

10:18

Michelle Pfeiffer looks like a very tormented individual.

some of these interviewers are awful and feel like they've got a bone to a pick or a chip on their shoulder lol .

Batman Returns had one of the worst plots I've ever seen in a superhero movie.

sammi davis was going to be beetle juice? I had no idea that beetle juice was going to be a female.

Batman2 is wacko. Whoa.

If not Keaton,I think Bruce Willis would have been a good Batman in 1989.
