Michael Keaton is 71 years old now. They knocked him for being “too old” to play Batman back in ‘89 yet here we are.

[@halamander1112]

His age wasn't an issue in '89. His size/frame, his receding hairline, and the fact that back then, he was known as a comedic actor not a dramatic actor were the things fans at that time were concerned about.

[@rabd3721]

I grew up with Michael Keaton's Batman. As a kid, he WAS Batman to me. Seeing him again in The Flash do things he couldn't do 30 years ago and fighting kryptonians without protective armor or kryptonite and still managing to defeat some was something I never thought I would see. Andy Muschietti reminded me why Michael Keaton is still a legend as Batman.

[@GP.Records]

Seeing him stay on his feet until the Kryptonian went down…oof. I get chills every time.

[@tizyman5582]

​@@GP.RecordsYeah. Chills from a retarded kids movie

[@TobyLandscaping]

Same and if you watch invincible it reminds me of a certain fight but Batman goes out like a champ instead of a punk who yelled as he tried to surprise attack someone billions of times stronger and faster than him.

[@lvo9197]

One thing I liked about this movie (despite finding it not very good overall), is the fact that they nailed the fact that batman is a human beng fighting superhumans. He is insanely skilled and very smart, but he is still fighting creatures that one shot him.

[@caitlinomalley80]

agreed. He was live action batman, and Kevin Conroy was the voice of batman. Also, these scenes with him fighting just felt so much like batman from the arkham games in live action. Perfectly done.

[@Immy_Islam786]

My uncle (who's in his mid 40's now) told me when he went to watch this movie in cinemas with his son, he felt like he was 10 years old again seeing Keaton in the batsuit. When he heard the Danny Elfman theme play, he told me he was in damn near tears as he thought he'd never hear that theme again with Keaton as Batman in a DC movie! That's the sort of connection Keaton's Batman had on 80/90s kids. Keaton coming back to him is what Garfield and Toby meant to us when they made their comebacks in Now Way Home.

[@ezyglide0909]

That’s amazing! I’m glad you’re uncle had a good time with the movie. There’s just something about things from the past that we enjoyed as kids and suddenly coming back years later, as if to say “hey guys, I’m back. Just like old times. Let’s have some fun” and sharing that nostalgia with the next generation.

[@TheJakOfAllTradez]

Im 39 and grew up with Keaton as well and your uncle is right. The feelings of tears seeing him again and with the theme is spot on. Every aspect of his portrayal here is very spot on. Im glad kids of this generation got to see why we love him so much.

You can tell they had a blast showing us Batman with not only an already developed character, but an actor who completely understood his Batman. Bale played him 100% serious and grounded, but Keaton had a certain humor and timing that goes well with an over-the-top superhero movie.

[@joshua.garner]

Honestly, I would have much preferred a stand alone Keaton Batman film. A film focused on him at this point in time would have been phenomenal. He was excellent in this and I found the other heros to be a complete distraction.

Well he was supposed to be in the cancelled Batgirl as her older mentor, and at the time, he was going to replace Ben Affleck and Keaton's Batman would become a Nick Fury type character. Of course after Batgirl was cancelled, many films flopping in DC, and plans to reboot everything for DCU, they changed the original ending for Flash that was gonna set up the exact movie that got cancelled. So they basically had to reshoot the ending with Clooney so they don't give false hopes of setting up movies that clearly wasn't gonna happen.

[@welcometothemetaverse2523]

I swear Michael Keaton just embodies being back in the Batman role. Despite how he looks a little silly in the cowl at his age, there was a sense of honor he gives off as he stands and walks while wearing the Batsuit; I felt like I wanted to salute him like an old veteran back in uniform half the time. Also, it's awesome seeing '89 Batman fight BvS Warehouse style. Even if the CGI isn't entirely perfect such as when he flips or glides, I thought his fight scene showed the full potential of the Michael Keaton's Batman fighting compared to how awkward and stiff he moved at times in the Tim Burton movies. Even as Bruce Wayne, you really feel the duality he has with both being tired from the old hero act after many years but also getting a thrill out of being back in the game. Overrall, I enjoyed The Flash (2023). Despite the clunky effects and mess of a screenplay, I enjoyed this movie for its creative moments with time travel, the fun action, the great performances and the genuinely emotional moments.

In the Beyond pilot. Batman is 65-70 years old. He should have stopped long before, but he couldn’t stop. He was very fit for his age, but he had a leg wound from Joker (from the Beyond movie’s flashback) that never healed completely. He also had a heart condition caused by using a mech suit that was way to taxing for him. When training Terry he’s 85-90 and the Joker wound got worse, hence the cane.

He was supposed to be the lead to the rest of the DCEU and replace Affleck's Batman. Although he and Affleck's would appear in Aquaman 2, and then the scrapped Batgirl had Keaton's Batman once again continue on. However, fans were actually furious about him replacing Affleck's Batman. But with James Gunn taking control and starting over, plans with Keaton taking over the DCEU wasn't ideal, as well as Michael Keaton stating he also doesn't want to continue more comic book movies which I can understand. And scenes with Keaton and Affleck's Batman in Aquaman 2 were cut all together, knowing they didn't want any false hope for fans considering the movie was supposed to come out before The Flash and obviously setting up future DCEU movies with Keaton's Batman.

coolest batman we've had in a movie for years, love the fact that they gave him an Arkham series like style in his fighting and partly in how he moves and behaves, but still keeps this Keaton's carisma, really makes it very enjoyable to watch compared with other batmans in movies, since they tend to seek for some kind of realism just in the worse way possible and then you see the assassins who trained him doing cooler stuff and that will just make it lame

[@Tyrineal]

it's actually insane that this 70 year old Batman actually scales off of the significantly younger Batfleck. In Keaton Batman's prime he would demolish Batfleck if he can do this shit at 70 years old - Takes down an entire battalion of highly trained spec op soldiers guarding a base while baby sitting 2 Flashes - Still strong enough to ragdoll full grown men in heavy gear across room and through windows - While his suit is bullet proof, is able to handle the impact of the hundreds of bullets his suit tanked - Took out several Kryptonian ships with ease, all while using a Jet that could easily be 30+ behind on tech - Went one on one with a Kryptonian that was strong enough to contend with Cavill's Superman, had no prep time, and knocked him out

I was born in 1982. Michael Keaton will forever be Batman in my eyes. His face was on every Batman toy and video game. My fellow 80s babies know what I’m talking about. I would binge watch the original 2 films over and over with my dad and play with my Batman toys and man made grapple hooks I made with sticks and a rope (darn thing never held up ) Man those were good times. So many memories and chills watching him return with HIS cowl. Hearing all the classic one liners again was so cool. And to see the original batwing jet with the original theme playing in the background was madness. Epic is all I can say. I’m a older man and a father myself now but you brought me back to my childhood when I was a little boy in my batman pajamas with the cape and I really appreciate that. You carried this movie on your back. I’d love to see more Keaton films as the aging Gotham knight era Batman. It’s so much they can do with Michael. He saved this film. Thank you for giving us one last ride Michael.

Honestly, probably one of the most accurate Batman fight scenes we've seen in live action to date. Before I would have said the Ben Affleck Batman fight scene in the warehouse was, but realistically Affleck kinda made Batman just a brawler. In Flash, Keaton's Batman exhibited all of Batman's fighting prowess and characteristics: actual martial arts with punches, kicks, and throws, tactical use of various gadgets including using them in unique ways like ricocheting a batarang off a pipe to hit the opponent he was grappling with, and using his glide capabilities with his cape to pick up an opponent and slam them into the ground. It was just the complete package that Batman fans have been DESPERATE for.
