Michael Keaton's greatest stories about playing Batman and eating dinner with Jordan | Ep. 75

Michael Keaton is a living legend. One of the best people to ever come out of southwest PA.

Michael Keaton is a cool as hell guy. The best Batman ever. I was so pissed when Keaton’s Batman Beyond was canned and Batgirl with Keaton in it was canceled.

It's an injustice

[@klipser66]

Absolutely and OG Batman movies are in a class of their own!

[@mitchell7309]

@@klipser66 the Nolan films are better, but Michael Keaton was a better Batman than Christian Bale

[@klipser66]

@@mitchell7309 You can't compare Nolan's hyperrealistic ultratech action movies with Burton's comicbook gothic/dystopian films. It is not in the same bowl. Each is great in their own respect but for me Burton's style is more true to the original

[@mitchell7309]

@@klipser66 yeah I can. YOU just made it sound like they’re in a class of their own, when in reality, the Nolan films are better made films. Critics and audience consensus. I’m talking about their overall quality objectively as films. From script, to cinematography to acting. I’m not talking about the take on the material and even then as a fan of the source material there’s more flaws with the Burton take particularly in the second one. Like listen bro Michael Keaton and the 89 movie were not only my introduction to the character. They were my first movie in theaters. It’s the movie I’ve seen the most times in my entire life. I love it with all my heart, and I still like the second one, even though I have more issue with it, Michael Keaton was the best and my favorite Batman for most of my life. Christian Bale was a better Bruce Wayne and the Christopher Nolan films were better representations of the character and better films. Think that’s kind of obvious. Two things can be true at the same time. Michael Keaton being the best performance as Batman and the Christopher Nolan movies being better films about the character. And at this point it doesn’t matter anyway, because Robert Pattinson now is clearly the best Batman ever put the screen both in terms of characterization and acting performance. Which is stunning considering he surpassed Keaton’s Batman and Bale’s Bruce Wayne. Batman 89 is accurate to the fair early Bob Kane golden age original material. The Nolan films are very accurate to the 70s bronze age material, with dashes of some of the modern interpretation. Overall, the Nolan is both more faithful just adapted into a more believable reality setting a heightened realism so they are not only the films, they are overall accurate. Batman Returns is borderline off the rails of everything. That is Tim Burton putting himself above the material. Dedicated to a made up character, not even from the original source material. And the most entertaining parts come from Michelle Pfeiffer‘s performance as Catwoman

[@TheNYJets15]

The summer of 89 we got the best movies ever in the theaters! What a time to be a young kid!

[@paulpolpiboon9535]

​​@@BeeKee404: Conroy is NOT Batman, pick ANY random comic out of the thousands of comics during OR before that animated series thing and you'll see he has nothing to do with the character AT ALL. Conroy was literally the ANTI batman. That's why nobody in the comic book industry ever praises that animated series or Conroy. NOBODY . Not even one soul. Try to name one. Literally look at any Neal Adams comic, any Jim Aparo comic, any Bob Kane the fuking inventor of the character.... Conroy/animated series is the ANTI Batman.

Have always loved Michael Keaton he's an absolute legend loved Mr. MOM AND Johnny Dangerously and still think he was the best Batman!! Just love that he's just a reagular dude like all of us!!!!

[@1977TA]

I just realized Keaton wasn't acting during the Batman '89 scene in Vicki's apartment when Bruce tries to explain to her, he is Batman. That's how Keaton talks in real life! He is very expressive and speaks while he is formulating a picture in his mind of what he is talking about. He has to give a complete background story in order to explain something that isn't complicated. Often this leads to him going off on sort of a rant that leaves the listener a bit confused as to where he is going with the conversation. I think he simply played himself as Bruce Wane which is why his performance was so down to earth and likeable.

Additionally, one of the most iconic Steeler Legends, I worked with Terry Bradshaw on an Episode of "Las Vegas". He was a Sports betting character. During a break he sat at my table, since I was a background dealer. He asked me to deal him in. And he played against the house. We talked about anything but football.

Christopher Nolan was traveling and passed through the Fort Pitt tunnel and said we have two shoot the next Dark Knight movie here! That's what brought him to the 'Burgh! I worked with Chris on "Inception".

[@HealthHorror]

He said he got sick of people being SO upset over who plays Batman and we have a lot of more important things to thinks about but this is EXACTLY what I could say to sports fans who get pissed when their team loses, a team that has NOTHING to do with the fan.

[@andraethegiant1987]

Batman is giving Cam contingency plans to win the SB! 😂

[@jasonmizuno6117]

Christopher Nolan is a massive Steelers fan and that is why the Gotham Knights were the Steelers. Hence why big Ben and Hinze Ward were in it.

[@gjben86]

Hines Ward was also an Easter egg hinting the inclusion of Robin in the film, which is an homage to Burt Ward, Robin in the 60’s Batman tv show.

[@mitchell7309]

No, he wasn’t. They filmed in Pittsburgh because it became cheaper than filming in Chicago. He wasn’t a Pittsburgh Steeler fan. He was born in England and then moved to Chicago in his teens.

My childhood hero

[@edtechspecialist]

Right out of the gates, Michael Keaton brings up an old school hooper, Connie Hawkins! Grew up in Bed Stuy, NYC, could jump sky high, had enormous hands, and was Dr. J before Julius Erving became him. Unfortunately, the Hawk was wrongly implicated in a gambling scandal and got blackballed from the NBA in his prime. I highly recommend reading Foul! which tells the life story of Connie Hawkins. Eventually made it to the league, but could have been an all-time great.

[@chazfatur1929]

Also another Pirates' story is when Honus Wagner scouted my grandfather in 1935-36 to play for the Pirates. We have a contract letter and a post card reminder signed by Honus. But my Grandmother gave him the ultimatum, "marry me or play ball." It never happened obviously.

[@mikeimpressionsreviews9831]

Fidel Castro and Mario Cuomo were scouted by the Pirates as well

[@henryshaw296]

Micheal was very careful to not say that the Flash was his last time being Batman! It could happen again.

[@mitchell7309]

Keaton doesn’t talk about it here, but he is competitive like a pro athlete. One of the motivating factors for his performance in the original Batman was that people detested his casting in the role thinking he wasn’t built for it and because he was Mr. Mom. So his level of competitiveness also elevated his performance.

[@danny13293]

"you wanna get nuts"!!!

[@surfleopard]

You guys should do a podcast on Pittsburgh boxing history. It's impressive and largely forgotten.

[@kingsley1175]

wait!! We didnt get to talk about Mr Mom!! lol He is one of the coolest guys. Im glad he mentioned "The Other Guys" though. I feel its underated. I know way to many people who didnt see that movie who love comedies. I can watch that movie over and over again. Every joke could have you in stitches and Mr. Keaton has great comedic timing. His scenes were all gems. Mr. Mom was so funny. This man has done no wrong in my eyes his entire career. Legend
