ha true, i admire the dedication though thru so many shitty movies, i forget what his best review was but it was for a pretty bad 80s movie...im happy that he did awesome in this role..cudos dude.
It's set 40 years after the New Batman series. Not sure how old he was then, but that would put him in the 70-80 range for Beyond, I guess. Michael Keaton is 63.
locutus94 all he need to do is put on makeup to look younger and paint his hair black or put on a wig (but yes i rlly want him to play batman again...because he is batman)
You should play Batman right before he gives up and then Terry McGinnis becomes the new Batman that should be how the movie is he’s old he can’t fight anymore and a younger kid becomes Batman just like the TV show Batman beyond all the OG‘s remember!
Keaton has been one of my all time favourite actors. There is something about him, a strange quality that no other actor has. Besides, he has the best sense of humor I can imagine, quick responding and witty and always spot on.
Keaton says he's just going to invite a couple of friends over to see his screening, just something casual. Invites Jack Nicholson over. haha that's boss.
Jack's energy is naturally elevated and he's exceptionally gifted, a lot of people judge and misunderstand him. Keaton is a humble guy and is my fave Batman.
oktoberK my favorite scene with him as Bruce Wayne is when he meets Selina Kyle for the first time in Batman Returns with the scene where he meets the Joker in Vicky Vale's apartment a close second.
I really wish Michael could have done at least one more Batman film directed by Tim burton, but alas is never came to be because of Warner brothers Studio interference.
This dude could literally talk about anything and I’d listen to it. Michael Keaton is the true definition of class. Wish him success on his future endeavors. Thanks for making me dream that I could be Batman.
You know what, it would be cool if Michael Keaton comes back as Batman, playing in a movie adaption of "The Dark Knight Returns", where Bruce Wayne is 55 years old and retired, however, crime gets so bad again, it forces him to comeback as Batman.
I love it that all you here about Jack is from others people's accounts of time with him and stories of him. Its like he's the real life man, The myth, The Legend
The scene close to the beginning of Birdman where Keaton and Edward Norton are on the stage together and throw lines out is amazing. They are acting while acting! If that's not talent, I haven't a clue what is.
In a 2020 interview, Michael Keaton revealed he was really nervous and self conscious about working with Jack Nicholson, because he's so strong on film and had so much power, and it ended up just being great because Nicholson made everybody feel really, really, relaxed. They ended up becoming close friends.
You know, I recently re-watched Birdman and Keaton definitely should have won over Redmayne. His was such an honest, strong and powerhouse performance. Redmayne was great as well, but he basically grimaced sitting slumped down in a chair. It's hard to make such a character come to life, no doubt, but Keaton's performance was just effin' epic. He should've won just for the scene with the movie critic alone.
Someone needs to do one of those Funny or Die with Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale and Adam West hanging out as the League of Batmen.
He should have won but the academy only loves biopics but birdman was an original screenplay masterpiece . Eddie just copied hawking and brought it to life but Keaton created Riggan Thomson and added depth,layer and gave a multidimensional performance . If you are making a biopic make it like The favourite which draws inspiration from the real people but creates an original creative and imaginative story
Michael Douglas is my all time favorite actor and I loved him as Batman. I have yet to see this Birdman, but I have only heard good things about it. He was also great in Multiplicity actually making all his clones unique. Michael Douglas is my favorite batman.
Jack Nicholson is without a doubt a character and everyone has a story to tell about him but I wonder why he's so camera shy and he never appears on any chat shows or give an interview whatsoever!
+TruthBeTold I never even realized that he is rarely (ever?) on talk shows. He seems like the kind of guy that'd be on them often and be a memorable guest. Given that he always shows up at all the major award shows, it's a little odd that that willingness to be out doesn't translate to talk show appearances, too.
aseriesofletters That's true. Not to mention that he has slept with a lot of famous women including Justin Trudeau's Mom so he has quite a lot of interesting stories to tell...
I had the opportunity to see Michael Keaton in person. I use to work in a movie theatre where we had quite a few celebrities come in and some non celebs too. One night Michael walks in and goes to watch the movie we were showing. At that time we would wear buttons advertising the movie or a movie that was coming out. So as he passed me at the door I said Good evening sir and he went in. Next to me was this young kid and he asked me who is that.. Michael overheard him came back to where the kid was and told him I am him.. pointing to the Batman button... LOved it... and then he walked away.
People embrace “The Dark Knight”, but “Batman” transported me into another world. Once Elfman’s score ramps up, combined with Burton’s direction and THIS GUY in the role... it’s easily the best Batman in my mind.
Who cares about Academy Awards? It's a circle jerk of people giving and returning favors inside their own limited sphere of self-interest and Jews. It has nothing to do with awarding cinema work.
Aivottaja completely agree. No one realizes the liberal propaganda they try perpetrating and the fact that a performance like Alan Arkin in little miss sunshine WON?!
It's definitely the chilliest fact that the Batman and Joker actors are really close friends, not to mention decades since the movie was released.. it's almost like Jack Nicholson's Joker should've returned in the sequel
Mr Keaton is a fine actor. I am glad to see he is finally getting some recognition for his outstanding work. I recently saw him in a film called Duplex, he was at maniacal best.
Honestly, just from watching Birdman, seeing his Golden Globe acceptance speech & now this...This guy is the type of role model kids need to be looking up to. Just a fucking magnetically good guy.
It's about time he gets deserved recognition for his phenomenal work after being underrated for so long.
AMEN
Agreed!
Douglas Nading Will do... thanks.
I couldn't agree more!
ha true, i admire the dedication though thru so many shitty movies, i forget what his best review was but it was for a pretty bad 80s movie...im happy that he did awesome in this role..cudos dude.
There's such a fundamental joy in just watching Michael Keaton exist.
Agreed
Keaton and Nicholson are good friends still. That is awesome.
A playful image shoots through my mind of 80 year old Bruce Wayne sitting across a checker board from an 80 year old joker...
@@jackwarren1687 That Joker would be in his late 90s to early 100s actually
Michael Keaton for old Bruce Wayne in Batman Beyond!
Fuck yea
Not old enough, should be client Eastwood
ansatsu34 Makeup+acting might be able to fix that.
How old is he? How old is Bruce in batman beyond?
It's set 40 years after the New Batman series. Not sure how old he was then, but that would put him in the 70-80 range for Beyond, I guess. Michael Keaton is 63.
I don't care how old he is, I still want him to play Batman again.
same!
locutus94 all he need to do is put on makeup to look younger and paint his hair black or put on a wig (but yes i rlly want him to play batman again...because he is batman)
Agreed . Batman isn't alien. He should be aging
You should play Batman right before he gives up and then Terry McGinnis becomes the new Batman that should be how the movie is he’s old he can’t fight anymore and a younger kid becomes Batman just like the TV show Batman beyond all the OG‘s remember!
Be careful what you wish for😝 June 2020
I just have so much respect and admiration for Michael Keaton. An extremely talented and versatile actor, and no ego whatsoever.
Keaton has been one of my all time favourite actors. There is something about him, a strange quality that no other actor has. Besides, he has the best sense of humor I can imagine, quick responding and witty and always spot on.
Keaton says he's just going to invite a couple of friends over to see his screening, just something casual. Invites Jack Nicholson over. haha that's boss.
I love Jack Nicholson anecdotes, because he has a very unique personality, its like he only speaks in memorable one-liners
😂😂 great way to put it
Now I want footage of Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson as Batman and the Joker watching sports on TV.
i'm not even a sports fan and even i want that
Jack nicholson didn't play batman bro
@@itsmepeterparker4618 I didn't say he did. I said I wanted footage of him and Michael Keaton as Joker and Batman watching sports.
@@timrob12 oh my bad I mean if would be cool be a older joker in the wheelchair like from batman brave the bold
@@itsmepeterparker4618 If he wants to come back, I definitely love to see him again.
Keaton seems like such a cool guy. I think he'd be an interesting person to have a conversation with...And he was the best Batman.
He loves weather, no joke, so talk about meteorology. He's obsessed with it.
Jack's energy is naturally elevated and he's exceptionally gifted, a lot of people judge and misunderstand him. Keaton is a humble guy and is my fave Batman.
Mr.Keaton will always be my all-time favorite Batman :)
likewise
agree he did a perfect job as BATMAN
Don Scott he is Batman
I've seen a lot of videos with Keaton and whenever he tells a story, he's a pro at it.
He probably honed that skill during his days as a stand-up comedian.
Michael Keaton and Jeff Goldblum are some of my favorite talk show guests of all time, they *really* know how to tell a story!
Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson are 2 of the best actors and all around good guys
I adore Michael Keaton! I'm so happy he's getting so much acknowledgement now - and I get to hear all his stories. Hurrah!
Nicholson sounds cool. I'm going to calling Keaton "Keats" from now on because of him.
Jack would call robin williams "ROBO" Like ROB/BOW....Jack kicks ass
Doesn't really work unless you're the guy's friend. Lol
Still my favorite Batman.
Mine too. I loved his Bruce more. He was so unassuming. Like a guy who you would see walking down the street calm and normal but hell is inside him.
oktoberK my favorite scene with him as Bruce Wayne is when he meets Selina Kyle for the first time in Batman Returns with the scene where he meets the Joker in Vicky Vale's apartment a close second.
mine too :)
He outclassed Christian Bale on all levels, including the Bruce Wayne part
I really wish Michael could have done at least one more Batman film directed by Tim burton, but alas is never came to be because of Warner brothers Studio interference.
if only jack nicholson was younger to still be doing more movies.
He was/is the best of the legends
Wonderful Actor, magnificent performance in Birdman! Michael Keaton carried that movie on his shoulders.
Michael Keaton is the man.
He seems like such a great guy, one of the best interviews in a while
I adore this dude. Such a fun, high energy dude who's don't SO many great movies. what a gem
He's such a great guy, you can tell he's having a lot of fun and I'm really happy for him with all of his recent success
I love Michael Keaton. Those stories he's told about how he and Jack Nicholson got on during the filming of Batman are like gold to me I treasure them
Always loved Michael Keaton...appears so humble and gracious. Also Gr8 worker fantastic movies . Would love to see him reprise alot of his characters
This dude could literally talk about anything and I’d listen to it. Michael Keaton is the true definition of class. Wish him success on his future endeavors. Thanks for making me dream that I could be Batman.

Sadly the studio won't have the balls to go through with that movie. It would be fantastic though and I would love to see it happen!
Or just Batman Beyond.
Batman vs superman is going to be adapted from dark knight returns
Great Idea!
Birdman is as close as there is to Keaton as Batman again.
I love it that all you here about Jack is from others people's accounts of time with him and stories of him. Its like he's the real life man, The myth, The Legend
The scene close to the beginning of Birdman where Keaton and Edward Norton are on the stage together and throw lines out is amazing. They are acting while acting! If that's not talent, I haven't a clue what is.
yh it was bizarre and bith great actors norton is a genius
I love him in the movie "Night Shift" he is so awsome in that movie.
Mr mom!Awesome!Also,that movie he made with the japanese,can't remember the name.They had to build cars.
Johnny Dangerous!
Noelia Jaime. Gung Ho.
Keaton was coked out of his mind in night shift, great flick. Love brokers!
Love Brokers!
Keaton deserves all the good stuff, he's given great value over the years.
Michael Keaton 2020?! Man, I wish, this man is such a naturally talented actor, for real!!
The Jack Nicholson part starts at 04:04 You're most welcome :)
thanks
thx xd
Thanks 👍
Awesome thanks !
Why would anyone only want to see them talk about Jack? You are aware that Batman was there.
Can't believe he's 63. Looks and acts 20 years younger at least.
It's funny.. I call it inner sun.
Do you actually know any 40 year-olds? He looks older than 40.
matthew kühl I’d say He look 50. I know people who are 60-65 and they look A LOT older.
well.. maybe just acts 20 years younger...
In Hollywood they call it, "getting some work done".
Fantastic actor, too many great roles to mention. Seems such a nice and cool guy too.
I'm so glad that he's getting the recognition he deserves for doing years of great work. He's a great actor.
In a 2020 interview, Michael Keaton revealed he was really nervous and self conscious about working with Jack Nicholson, because he's so strong on film and had so much power, and it ended up just being great because Nicholson made everybody feel really, really, relaxed.

"Mornin' Keats" lol! Love that.
Keaton and Nicholson have to be make another movie together. I loved both of them in Batman (1989). Both of them are talented and successful.
Michael Keaton will be a snack until the day he dies. Love him! After Paul Newman died, I really didn’t have an old man crush anymore. Found him! 😍
Not just a snack, the whole meal 😍
You know, I recently re-watched Birdman and Keaton definitely should have won over Redmayne. His was such an honest, strong and powerhouse performance.
Redmayne was great as well, but he basically grimaced sitting slumped down in a chair. It's hard to make such a character come to life, no doubt, but Keaton's performance was just effin' epic. He should've won just for the scene with the movie critic alone.
Yes I agree. The critic scene was legendary
That critic scene is one of my most favourite scences , specially that concluding line- "I AM AN ACTOR"
Michael Keaton didn't get it because he is a conservative... plain and simple.
100% Agree!!!
It's interesting that he did birdman and then vulture. Must have been interesting to hear his response when approached.
Someone needs to do one of those Funny or Die with Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale and Adam West hanging out as the League of Batmen.
He really should have won.
really??
@@briancarpenter6413 yes.
He was robbed
Twice!
He should have won but the academy only loves biopics but birdman was an original screenplay masterpiece .
Eddie just copied hawking and brought it to life but Keaton created Riggan Thomson and added depth,layer and gave a multidimensional performance . If you are making a biopic make it like The favourite which draws inspiration from the real people but creates an original creative and imaginative story
Michael Keaton has always been a great actor, and did some classics
I absolutely LOVE Michael Keaton.
Michael Douglas is my all time favorite actor and I loved him as Batman. I have yet to see this Birdman, but I have only heard good things about it. He was also great in Multiplicity actually making all his clones unique. Michael Douglas is my favorite batman.
I also loved him in that Spartacus tv series. What a great actor.
lowdownshakinchill I've never seen that show. OK, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the tip.
I agree Michael Douglas was the best Batman of all time. He's also looking pretty good for someone who has recently recovered from throat cancer.
michael douglas was batman?
***** Yes he was in the 1989 Batman with Jack Nicholson. It's one of the best batman movies out there.
Michael Keaton is such a charismatic guy
There is nothing to dislike about Michael Keaton
Jack Nicholson is without a doubt a character and everyone has a story to tell about him but I wonder why he's so camera shy and he never appears on any chat shows or give an interview whatsoever!

I think I remember reading that Jack's last talk show appearance was in the early 70s'. 40 years ago. 😲
aseriesofletters
That's true. Not to mention that he has slept with a lot of famous women including Justin Trudeau's Mom so he has quite a lot of interesting stories to tell...
Jack is the definition of cool, so sad his one best friend for life that would match him in coolness passed away
He likes to maintain the mystery.
Michael Keaton - A Legend!
Was one of my first crushes in Hollywood..and Keaton still is to this day 😌💋💕
5:45 Love that bow he takes for being Batman!
I had the opportunity to see Michael Keaton in person. I use to work in a movie theatre where we had quite a few celebrities come in and some non celebs too. One night Michael walks in and goes to watch the movie we were showing. At that time we would wear buttons advertising the movie or a movie that was coming out. So as he passed me at the door I said Good evening sir and he went in. Next to me was this young kid and he asked me who is that.. Michael overheard him came back to where the kid was and told him I am him.. pointing to the Batman button... LOved it... and then he walked away.
Beetlejuice, Batman and now Birdman! The three B's baby!' Awesome!
***** i don't know what that means, but that looks like 5 Bs to me. ah! ah! ah!
*****
I haven't seen that film yet, but I'll check it out.
+no hassle
The three B's is about classical music.
Keaton is the man. He's always brilliant regardless of the film he's in.
Michael Keaton. Jack Nicholson. They are batman.
If only they could have one more film together.....
would it?
yea i love to see these 2 work together again even if it wasa different project lets get a good script for it
Happy 25th Anniversary of the 1989 Batman movie Michael Keaton!
People embrace “The Dark Knight”, but “Batman” transported me into another world. Once Elfman’s score ramps up, combined with Burton’s direction and THIS GUY in the role... it’s easily the best Batman in my mind.
"Batman" is the best batman but "The Dark Knight" is the best superhero movie ever made.
Batman Returns is peak Batman for me. Danny Elfman, Tim Burton, Keats, Devito, Pfiefer, Walken. Just fantastic.
@@beyondtheend9144 Hhmm...Nola's trilogy is not Batman at all. Just a depressive unmagical movie located in NY
Such a brilliant conversationalist and such an underrated actor!
M Keaton is the best Beatman ❤❤
Man, I love Micheal Keaton! He truly is the righteous Batman!
Favourite actor, loved him in The Founder.
I love Michael Keaton! He was brilliant in Birdman and hands down the best Batman. Too bad they don't cast him as often as he deserves to.
Well, they want to, but they are running out of winged creatures to dress him up as..
One of the more underrated actors, great versatility watch "The Paper" if you've never seen it. He was outstanding.
Keaton being a boss at changing the subject.
Keaton's interview with Norm MacDonald on Netflix was a joy to watch.
The academy was wrong big time on his performance in Birdman
Who cares about Academy Awards? It's a circle jerk of people giving and returning favors inside their own limited sphere of self-interest and Jews. It has nothing to do with awarding cinema work.
that sure took a hard right
+Josey Wallace eddie redmayne won that year
he was amazing in that
Aivottaja completely agree. No one realizes the liberal propaganda they try perpetrating and the fact that a performance like Alan Arkin in little miss sunshine WON?!
His best role. Beetlejuice. Hands down an amazing performance.
He’ll always be Batman to me ❤️
Id probably do a fangirl screech if I ever saw Jack Nicholson talking to Michael Keaton.
And think about it all the time!
What a nice guy!
I am pleased with the amount of times Keaton interrupts Kimmel.
Haha great interview
It's definitely the chilliest fact that the Batman and Joker actors are really close friends, not to mention decades since the movie was released.. it's almost like Jack Nicholson's Joker should've returned in the sequel
"Damn good darts tournament"
Lmao I want more stories like this 😂
Pacific heights alone should have given Keaton an Oscar nod
Yes good call. Great film. The start is intense and gets better.
He is the best Batman. The 1989 Batman film is STILL the greatest comic movie of all.
I love Michael Keaton & jimmy kimmel
I could watch Keaton all day talk about Jack Nicholson
He's so great in all his roles and though some won't agree he is my favourite Batman.
Keaton: the epitome of cool, down to earth, professional, and the BEST Batman ever to grace the screen.
I just watched Clean & Sober! I fell in love with him all over again!😊
"He embodies the true Batman; troubled, depressed but highly intelligent"
Mr Keaton is a fine actor. I am glad to see he is finally getting some recognition for his outstanding work. I recently saw him in a film called Duplex, he was at maniacal best.
I'm drunk and in a deep jimmy Kimmel RUclips hole.
ElGato7000 or how Kimmel was in a deep Affleck hole? lol
Honestly, just from watching Birdman, seeing his Golden Globe acceptance speech & now this...This guy is the type of role model kids need to be looking up to. Just a fucking magnetically good guy.
You can see his old stand up comedy roots at play in this interview
I believe this whole interview jinxed his Oscar loss
When Jack Nicholson calls your movie “masterful”, you’re in a really good spot.
"Masterful, Keats!" lmao I love that nickname!
Damn good darts tournament last night 😂😂😂😂
I’m so Happy Birdman happened. I never saw it, but it put a new resurgence in his career and now he’s back to being the badass he was in the 80-90’s
He would kick so much ass as old batman
Defo should of won the oscar ,, he was amazing in birdman
It's funny people were thinking about him as Batman even all those years ago. Now it might actually happen.
Forgive me but you know he IS Batman, right!? Played him in Tim Burton’s BATMAN, 1989, and Batman Returns in like 92(?)
Micheal Keaton is the coolest Actor.
Keaton has proven himself by his body of work, and he seems like a nice guy.
" Night Shift " Michael Keaton at his best!😆😆😆
