From Camp to Cult Classic: Michael Keaton on Bringing Darkness to Batman
Michael Keaton recalls the initial reaction that comic book fans had when Tim Burton directed the 1989 movie. Until then, Batman had only appeared as a campy television figure. However, Batman would mark a before and after for the superhero movie genre. Keaton said in an interview with GQ,
When they said, ‘We’re thinking of doing Batman,’ I said, ‘Wait, you’re thinking of making a movie about Batman’? We also had a nice working relationship from Beetlejuice, so he felt that he and I could get along and would work well together”
In the 1989 movie, Keaton portrayed the title character. He later played Bruce Wayne again in Batman Returns (1992). The actor donned the Dark Knight suit once more for The Flash, the DC movie that united the multiverse, over thirty years after its first release.
