Keaton Still Bats For Batman Fans
31 May 2009 7:00 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Michael Keaton thrilled a young Batman fan with a visit to the set of his new film after spotting the kid sporting a homemade superhero costume.

Keaton took over directorial duties on the set of The Merry Gentleman when filmmaker Ron Lazzeretti's appendix burst and had to give up the project.

The actor thrilled cast and crew with his personable nature - and showed it extended to fans too.

Co-star Tom Bastounes explains, "One day we were filming in a park and there was little boy there and he had a makeshift Batman outfit on. It wasn't like a store-bought one. He made it at home.

"He had the pointy ears and the mask and he had a Batman symbol on his chest. Michael noticed him from across the street and walked over.

"Of course the mum noticed him right away and made a big fuss. The kid was about four or five. Michael signed the kid's cape and signed something for the mum. Then he brought them both to the set and they watched some of the shoot. He's very sweet that way.

"He's very generous with his time but you still have these pinch me moments, where you suddenly realise, 'Hey, I'm working with Batman.'"

Keaton played the Caped Crusader in Tim Burton's Batman and Batman Returns films.

Well done, Keaton.

Still proud of his Batman roots, and he has every reason to be

Bale would have tore the kid a new a-hole lmao

Totally agree. They should get him to do TDKR.
Here's a recent video of Michael Keaton at a Lakers game taking photos with every fan that approaches him and signing stuff. One guy even yells "Batman !" lol
To me he still is the best.

Man, what a class act

If I ever became a celebrity I'd try to be that generous to all my fans, what a great guy he truly understands the ups and downs that come with living in the limelight unlike many others.

Symbiotic · 06-01-2009, 11:51 AM

Way to go, Keaton. Total class act.

Doctor Jones · 06-01-2009, 03:36 PM

Keaton is all class. God, would I love to work with him. He needs more work goddammit!

dude love · 06-05-2009, 02:50 AM

Keaton was a better Batman than Bale.

He was so natural in the role and didn't need that ridiculous voice.

Nostalgia Critic was right!

Drz · 06-28-2009, 01:41 PM

I'm sorry but is that breaking foot thing fake or not? I mean they are making the whole burning oprhanage thing a joke but you never know... It does seem fake since i mean you'd hear about it more, right?

Bruce_Wayne29 · 06-28-2009, 02:02 PM

He did break his foot. The orphanage thing I don't know...

Agreed.

I like Bale's Batman, but Keaton was much better. His voice didn't go OTT either.

Man of Tomorrow · 06-28-2009, 03:37 PM

I still don't get why Bale's Bruce had to put on the 'Batman voice' during his scene with Lucious Fox in TDK..

Fox already knows that Bruce is Batman :/

Kinda silly.
