While we won't know exactly... it did say on the DVD that there were alot of different men in the suit at different times in order to perform various stuff.

There was even a ballet dancer... for the shots that needed to make batman look good.

But really the acting was all Keaton.

 

[Comics N' Toons]

i already knew that but was hoping someone would give me more info

BTAS often portrayed Bruce Wayne as socially awkward.

I never noticed that ... he was always very sociable with his chipper little voice and what not.

[the GRIN Reaper]

That's a cool screen cap ... errr ?

But the duration of the time he didn't see socially inept, distant or whatever in BTAS.

 

[The Joker]

H was once in a while.

 

[the GRIN Reaper]

I didn't get that sense. Sure he cut out times, but when he was engaing himself socially, he didn't seem awkward. He socialized quite well. Was well spoken, etc.

 

[The Joker]

Edit

 

[the GRIN Reaper]

I'm just saying I never got that sense he was socially inept.

TAS Bruce Wayne: totally different from Keaton Bruce Wayne.

Accept it.

TAS=clumsy, but socially accepted, playboy
Keaton=strange loner with signs of Aspeger syndrome

Nah, don't think I will

TAS=clumsy, but socially accepted, playboy
Keaton=strange loner with signs of Aspeger syndrome

Keaton's Bruce Wayne was not socially accepted? LOL! Yeah, that's why everyone in Gotham from the Mayor, to Gordon, to Harvey Dent was there in his mansion at his party.

That's why he gets invited to high profile parties like Max Schreck's. Even though they don't get along, Schreck knows to invite the best of Gotham's society

 

[TruerToTheCore]

Yeah. okay. believe what you want.

Thats why a newspaper reporter and a photographer didn't know who he was until he introduced himself to them.

 

[The Joker]

Yeah. okay. believe what you want.

Thanks for the permission!

Vicki was new to Gotham, so she obviously wouldn't know him. As for Knox, well yeah you got me on that one. But Knox might be just too wrapped up in his Batman story, or any kind of crime related story like Carl Grissom's activities, to pay attention to Gotham's high society crowd.

Just might be possible

 

[Comics N' Toons]

He was socially distant lots of times. He would often cut out of events early, or completely abstain from them so he could be Batman. Used to drive people like Veronica Vreeland mad.

"If anyone ever led a worry free life, it's you Bruce Wayne".

perfect post

To me, Keaton IS Batman.

I like the other actors that played Batman and Bruce Wayne. They were all good in their own way(even if some of their movies were crappy). But in my opinion Keaton retired the jersey. Michael Keaton in those two Tim Burton movies really captured my imagination and took Batman from a cool superhero to an absolute obsession for me. I still really love to watch those movies.

I have a cousin who was an intern at Paramount Studios for a year, told she ran into Keaton one day while getting coffee. She said she thought of me instantly given my love for his Batman. Wish I could of met him.
