I was eleven/twelve when I saw it and fell in love with Michael Keaton. Wrote him a letter to wait for me, when I turned 18. Chickened out and didn’t mail it. Loved him as Beetlejuice. Those eyebrows were meant for Batman.
I full remember the h8 that Keaton received, both professionally and personally amongst my peers. To coin a phrase from the Joker: Who has the last laugh?
Val is also my Batman. I’m reading his autobiography right now and it’s wonderful. If the villains in Forever hadn’t been so over-the-top (not to mention a problematic Robin), I think it could’ve been one of the best.
I finally watched his documentary earlier this year. He was the realest. What a wonderful gift he left us with after toting a camcorder around for decades.
I haven't seen Batman Forever in years, but over-the-top villains at least track with Burton's Joker and Penguin, right? I hate to blame Schumacher because I really am a fan, but maybe he just wasn't right for the material.

Oh man, I bet he would've LOVED that letter. 😂 I hope you kept it somewhere!

No kidding. I think his performances have aged better than anyone who came after him.
He actually cut many lines of dialogue because he felt Batman would monologize.
Smart man. I love that Burton was willing to let him cook.
Springsteen is hot and Jay-Z is not, right???
All due respect to Hova for his talents, but his looks are not his strength. 😂
In a career filled with them, one of Chris Rock’s most accurate observations.

They were over the top, but in a different way. It was Joel’s fault for sure.
