That Beetlejuice voice was amazing. He's still got it.

[@jubalcalif9100]

I know ! Love it ! :-)

[@melinazorrillachoque3186]

Okk

[@Foxy02016]

FREE1UP and it just shows that Alex Brightman knows he can’t replace the movie version and so he’s made the musical one all his own

[@NateIsCorrupt]

Beetle juice 2 is needed now! Batman Beyond would be nice as well!

[@bigb860]

I like how Keaton has only hosted 3 times and they were 82, 92, and then here in 2015. He's gotten the chance to work with essentially 3 different generations of SNL cast members.

[@thatrandomfreak194]

"It's Showtime!" Me: *roles on the floor squealing*

I'm a grown ass man but I giggled like a little girl when he said, "I'm Batman."

[@musicis1]

toncka ditto

[@Foxy02016]

[@robertoruiz9049]

Haaaa that's hilarious 😂!! I did the same !!!! LMAO!!!! well said man well said 👍😎👊 Michael is the Man fo sho!!

[@ElisandroDeLeon]

omg me too. I got so excited! I felt like I was looking at the real life Bruce wayne.

[@BlueMonkeySky]

We ALL did!!! 🦇❤️

[@TheReal7Bit]

This was, without a doubt, one of the best opening monologues SNL had in years. If not even one of the best ever, I'm dead serious this was hilarious. Bobby Moynihan dressed as Otho behind Fake Beetlejuice was the funniest shit ever hahah. I don't think all the sketches were funny but that opening monologue and the scientology spoof alone were worth it.

[@TheAtomicEwok]

Don't forget the easter basket sketch.

[@jubalcalif9100]

I have a notion to second that emotion !!

[@pam0626]

Michael Keaton's timing is excellent. He is so talented.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Amen to that ! He's one gifted actor !

[@ifeelpretty5790]

Jubal Calif Exactly! How many actors can play both Batman and Beetlejuice and still conjure up their voices decades later?

[@firestormgalaxy1689]

Michael Keaton is so awesome

[@matrakas4]

No, he's Batman.

[@kennethsiller1664]

The real payoff for this bit was having Michael Keaton look into the camera and say "I'm Batman."

[@lukeshnaidoo5964]

Bobby would be the legit perfect casting choice for The Penguin

[@ronnielopez3267]

Otho too

[@splintercell2002]

Great job on the Joker and Penguin makeup.

[@allys744]

Yeah, why are we ignoring that?

[@orangeleprachaun4723]

I was also very impressed

[@timtwoface]

Particularly Penguin, they knocked that outa the park.

[@MinesAGuinness]

The time has come, Michael. You know it in your soul. For I am your soul. You cannot escape me, Michael. It is time. The Dark Knight Returns.

[@bluesman6891]

MinesAGuinness Make that happen!!!!

[@psovegeta]

Samantha Merrill they might make a second Beatle Juice

[@StarWarsMoments]

Both of them.

This was the best host monologue I´ve ever seen,

[@marcofaccio9207]

“You know Beetlejuice hates sandworms...” 😁

[@Mort64562]

Amazing Catherine O'Hara impression

[@toogood_jlv4165]

when he did I'm Batman I was like YESSSSS

[@mincarol7225]

Great opening, Michael Keaton is such a great sport. I hope it won't be as long of a wait to see him host again. He is the host with the most.

[@DamienReaper_PrinceofHalloween]

Both Batman and Beetlejuice changed me. Along with Ghostbusters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I marked out when he did the voices. We need the Ghost with the Most back.

[@yellabonej24]

Damien Reaper a beetlejuice was already announced and hes returning as beetlejuice

[@annaelisavettavonnedozza9607]

Did u see “Ghostbusters: Afterlife?” It was excellent

[@Blondfoxy24]

Michael Keaton is absolutely great

[@kab4292]

I wonder how many people dont understand how awesome this was....because it was so incredibly awesome!!! He will always be the best Batman!

[@Uknow_imright]

i am a 31 year man, and when he said "I'm Batman", I squealed like a little girl!

yellabonej24 if Mark Hamil can come back as Joker in a game, Keaton can too, just gotta ask him nicely and pay him for it, no ones doing it for free

[@ronnielopez3267]

Dude!...you literally called it.

[@ghorbani]

guy deserves alot of respect for the way he carried himself in this business

[@regretto]

I really like how Michael acts all oldschool and classy in this one, really looks sort of Cary Grant-esque or something. legendary actor, his works with Burton in big part shaped my cultural code when I was a kid, and I'm glad they did.

[@ruckscards9947]

One of the greatest & most talented actors

Hail Mr Keaton! A underrated artist whose extraordinary work wasn't awarded by the Accademy in the magnificent Birdman. That was pure passion and Art. A great career and a great man.

One of the most underrated actors of all time!

Totally nerded out when he said the two lines at the end! Those two roles meant so much to me.

And now he’s Batman once more!

I thought Keaton was the best (movie) Batman.

He IS the best Batman. :)

Please make another Beetlejuice movie… for fck sake man!!! its easy money I'm sure it wouldn't cost that much( idk I'm just guessing), and everyone wants it, well I can't speak for everyone i just know, a Beetlejuice movie today would be hilarious and plus I'm just curious to see whats he been up to all these years

I've been a Michael Keaton fan since 1979. It is a collection of VHS , posters, books, and DVDs . He is my favorite batman! The only true torn batman /Bruce Wayne actor to show it on screen.
