Michael Keaton Doesn’t Care About Batman
For many Batman fans, Michael Keaton is probably the definitive Batman, as he was the caped crusader in Tim Burton’s seminal 1989 film. But though that was certainly a huge role for him, Michael Keaton isn’t too invested in the Batman franchise these days.

In a recent interview, Keaton said he hasn’t seen any of Christopher Nolan’s Batman films all the way through.
"Chris Nolan is great, but I’ve never seen any of the Batman movies all the way through. I know they’re good. I just have zero interest in those kinds of movies.I mean, people are asking me, ‘Is Ben Affleck going to be any good?’ And my attitude is, First of all, why would you ask me? Second, he’s probably going to be very good, and third, frankly, it’s all set up now so that you’re weirdly kind of safe. Once you get in those suits, they really know what to do with you. It was hard then; it ain’t that hard now"
Like many actors, Michael Keaton probably appreciates being given such a big role in his career, but it was a couple decades ago and was just another role, he’s not that invested in the franchise as a whole and has moved on.
