Like it or not, with “The Flash” there are already six superhero films in which he has worked. In the photo, in the first “Batman”. Clarin archive photo
The last time Michael Keaton wear the suit Batman It was 1992 for the sequel to Batman (1989) and Batman returns. Now Variety reminds us that 30 years later, he returns as himself Rapidsomething he said he would never do unless there was a real reason to do it.
It turns out that the reason is not complicated. “it looked funny”Keaton says Variety. “I was curious to know what it would be like after so many years … Not so much for me doing it, of course, but I was curious about it, strangely and even socially.”
«All this – he defined – is gigantic. has its own world. So, I like to see him as a stranger, who thinks ‘My God!'”.
In 1989, Keaton starred in “Batman”. Bad Guest: Jack Nicholson as the Joker!
Although Keaton was a part of the superhero world, he also appeared as the Vulture in Spider-Man: Homecominghowever – and here’s the story – he was honest and said he never saw any of the movies he made for the DC or Marvel universe..
I know people don’t believe it, that I’ve never seen a full version of any of those movies, no Marvel movies, no other of the genre. And I’m not saying I don’t watch it because I’m some kind of weird or intellectual, believe me! No, that’s not it … “
And stuff? “It’s just that there are very few things I look at. I start watching something and I think it’s great and I watch three episodes, but I have other things to do and I can’t hold the thread”, He admits, realizing one of the“ evils ”of the time: the hook with the series.
“After the first BatmanI’m not sure I’ve seen a full comic movie … I just never got it. So you’re talking to a guy who wasn’t in the spirit of that world. When I went to do Marvel things in Atlanta … it’s a whole city dedicated to Marvel … Will they make Marvel movies forever? I’ll be dead and they’ll keep making Marvel movies, “he said.
Why not do it?
Note on the film Rapidthat the text was “really very good” and that it led him to pull it out behind closed doors and he replied, “Why not do it? It’s nice to see and I’m genuinely curious to see if I can get it out.”
Three years after Tim Burton’s original, “Batman Returns” arrived in 1992, starring Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman.
But, of course, without having the slightest idea of the multiverse of superhero movies over the past 30 years, and without even seeing his Batman movies, it looks like good old Michael (70) has suffered a bit of confusion. when Variety reminds him how much Batman and Bruce Wayne have changed over the years, he pauses briefly and smiles before replying: “It’s not me, it’s not mine.”
Keaton’s Batman, according to specialized critics, was faithful to the Batman of his time: a more clownish and more child-friendly Batman. The hero who managed to fight crime without suffering existential turmoil that sometimes complicates the plot too much.
Ditto, as pointed out Cinema Comicsnot to love comic films, Michael Keaton participated in six: Batman (1989), Batman returns (1992), Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Morbio (2022), bad girl (2023) and Rapid (2023). So despite this, her name will always be related to gender.
