[@KT926]

He's one of the greatest actors on planet earth purely because he's done it all: a superhero, a villain, slapstick comedy, voiced an animated character, a horror and family friendly films.

[@brenanream639]

He voiced a couple animated characters

[@rckblzr]

@@brenanream639 2 superheroes as well.

[@debb8969]

He can do anything! He's such an underrated actor. One of my favorites.

[@plaidpanda]

​@@debb8969I really felt like he was robbed of an Oscar for Birdman!

[@ISBuckley8]

I love how he voiced Ken in Toy Story 3. He was one of the best parts of that movie

[@lashendawest7509]

We love michael keaton

[@chpman2013]

He looks great. You'd never know he's closing in on 73.

[@Missjunebugfreak]

For real. He's aging wonderfully.

Michael Keaton was always my favorite batman....and he is one of the best out their

[@WESTERNS4me]

Yes! A SEQUEL WORTH GETTING EXCITED ABOUT. Michael Keaton is back. Beetlejuice2. We REALLY needed this! I see ANOTHER Best Actor nomination for Mr. Keaton.

[@helenblank8092]

Michael Keaton... Does he realize how awesome he is? We have watched him since he began way back in the 80s. One of my all-time favorite movies is Night Shift. Other favorites are Mr. Mom and Multiplicity. The list just goes on and on. What an amazing actor.

[@mollydtt]

Night shift was great in just about every way. And yet, Michael Keaton shined brighter than everyone and everything in every scene. It was obvious that his career was just beginning and he would excel in everything.

Say it one more time! Beetle juice!!

[@AnalogX64]

Michael Keaton is looking great, like he could be in his late 40's early 50's.

[@jedimaster4798]

He's so spontaneous and authentic, you can just feel it through the screen. To tell the truth, Beetlejuice is all about Michael Keaton - I mean you can't make it without him (Burton was so right when he said that he won't make a sequel if Keaton is not in it). He's one of my favorite comical characters of all time. And Beetlejuice 3, if it ever happens, is definitely the sequel I wish for the most! 😀

[@jenniferaashiem6165]

God I love Michael Keaton. Always have, always will! He’s having such a fantastic career right now, I’m so happy for him, it’s SO well deserved!

[@scottan1]

And it keeps getting funnier every time I watch it!

[@anywaythewindblows8938]

Not to mention the fact you’re talking to a dead guy!

[@Alexz_Archivz]

Beetlejuice was my favorite movie for the longest as a kid.... Batman was and still is me favorite one till this day.... in the past year or 2, i realized Michael Keaton was Beetlejuice for the first time in my life. HUGE MIND BLOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hallofrecords4959]

Missed seeing him in movies for a long time, glad hes doing more work these days. Keep it up man we need your entertainment.

I enjoyed his movie "Knox Goes Away" on Max, Beetlejuice is going to RULE!!! Waited since I was a kid for this =)

Thank you so much. I hope life treats you with kindness.

[@ryanrobinson446]

Although Mr mom was out there, my First impression/ connection with Micheal Keaton was "gung ho". I thought that movie was so funny when I was 5 years old. Late night, on HBO I would sneak watch "night shift" because I had a crush on Shelly long. But I never connected him to other movies, I was too young. But He is the reason I love Batman. I have so much love for this guy what a great actor. What a Great dude. Great
