      He was badly miscast. People love it bc it was the first dark take on Batman so he’ll always have that. But if you go back and rewatch it now there’s some cringy moments - pretty much his whole Bruce Wayne and the grin Batman has when Napier says “nice outfit.” Also 90% of the time, it’s not Keaton in the Batman suit. It’s either Dave Lea or mostly Carl Newman…

I went with my mom (I was 11 or 12) who was always a working mom (Teacher and Administrator for many years) and I distinctly remember her crying she was laughing so hard.

He was immediately recognizable. When He started to speak with me I was surprised. He is like your next door neighbor in person. Just the nicest guy, not a star at all. Very polite guy and funny.

    Easily one of my all-time favorite actors.

But he continued with one memorable role after another, and he continues to this day with remarkable, subtle, dynamic, intelligent performances, each of which help establish him as one of the all-time greats.
