I caught an old Keaton movie this morning called Multiplicity. This guy can act. I wish he would do more movies.

I thought he stole the show in Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown. He was great.

Not to mention I think Keaton was the best Batman. Keaton is Batman. Him and Nicholson were money together. The original Batman (1989) is a classic.

I think most of the older posters on here will agree that Keaton is Batman and these others...Kilmer, Clooney, Bale, etc. are not even close.

I liked him in Clean and Sober. Great all around actor.

Multiplicity and Beetlejuice are two of my favorite Keaton movies, WTF ever happened to him? Did he get bad on drugs or what?

Could be 100% wrong but I seem to remember him suing for Batman money as they promised him a cut of the profits. Because of Bad Blood he may have been a hard arse in negotiations for Batman III so maybe he got himself blacklisted by the powers that be. ALL 100% speculation on my part.

I'm a big fan of Night Shift.

I also think Keaton is the best Batman by a good margin, but I don't care for Burton's campy movies.

He lives in my home town in Montana. You would never think he is a star.

He owned Beetlejuice. Me friend's and I used to recite his rants.

I agree with all of you about the first Batman. I've always thought he was the best Batman. He had that crazy look in his eyes and didn't have the stupid voice.

Huge fan. Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, I loved The Paper. Underrated movie with a great cast.
