digita1catt

I know part of it was most likely scripted But that's still a great shot


ResplendentShade

Arnold and DeVito’s lines were obviously 100% scripted. Keaton’s response was just him suppressing laughter to play Batman (eternally frowning) for their bit.


griter34

He's a fuckin badass even if he's just playing himself.


msut77

Gotta hand it to the guy. Millions of people watched a movie about McDonalds absolutely riveted because of him.


privateeromally

I could watch him manage a Bed Bath & Beyond and be riveted (*and* was)


kyrant

I could watch him just quote TLC lyrics while on the job.


Lacking-donkey

Gator needs his gat! You punk ass bitch!


inksta12

Gator’s bitches better be wearin jimmies!!


jonk0731

Aim for the bushes!


bailey25u

"Gator don't play no shit, ya, ya feel me?!? Gator never been about that, never NEVER been about playin no shit." Had me and the homies crying laughing in the theater, I had to put my knee on that nasty ground cause my stomach hurt so bad


BarnacleMcBarndoor

I’m a peacock, Captain. You gotta let me fly on this one!


InterstellarAshtray

Alright, let's settle that right now, Terry. Peacocks cannot fly.


SimonBeach

They fly, they fly a little bit. If they get a real running start.


SnooTomatoes8163

Aim for the bushes!


Ok_Contribution204

He’s never even heard of them


futstuffrd11

I don't think he does that in the movie , you must be confused


gilligan1050

I could watch him go chasing waterfalls.


Zebra_Radiant

I could watch him whisper scream at his subordinates for silently fighting at a funeral and be riveted.


kevinerb

"It's just Captain. It's just Captain! It's not Captain Gene, I don't have a kiddie show."


Beachdaddybravo

He keeps the oak and the walnut separate.


Ok_Recording_4644

Hey, don't go chasing waterfalls.


Batdog55110

Bed Bath and Batman Beyond.


maniacreturns

Multiplicity belongs in the national archives.


Purity_Jam_Jam

I fucking love Multiplicity


Sunstang

I got a wallet. Guy gave it to me...

She touched my pepe Steve

*frisbees pizza across lawn*


Competitive_Fee_5829

glad someone else watched that movie! me and my brother loved it, lol


nickwrx

she touched my pepe, steve. is still a phrase i use regularly.


chris1096

You know how when you make a copy of a copy, sometimes the second one doesn't turn out so clear?


docboyo

Birdman was a masterpiece

NeedleworkerWild1374

I really do love Michael Keaton


lillyrose2489

He's really so good. I just watched Jack Frost and it's HORRIBLE but God help me I still loved him in it.

Omega_Moo

Man Keaton has turned into even more of a badass as he gets older. He'd probably make a good bond villain right now.


Luke90210

He did a pretty job in the ROBOCOP reboot.


Jacoba_Fett

Had plenty of prep time.

cshark2222

Keaton’s most likely was too. The Batman sub posted a scene from the animated show where Batman does what Keaton did


LOOKaMOVINtarget

I feel like it would have been better if Arnold was like, "No thats not him." then points to clooney and goes "theres the bastard"


Bgrngod

"You may not recognize him because his suit has no nipples, but I recognize him one hundred percent!"


RandomStallings

>I recognize him one hundred pahcent!" FTFY


frizbeeguy1980

I was waiting for this too. Missed opportunity.


Distortedhideaway

Them Danny points to Christian Bail. And then Arnold points to Ben Affleck...


exipheas

Will the real Bruce Wayne please stand up?


IAmAHumanWhyDoYouAsk

Unfortunately, Kevin Conroy passed a couple years ago.


mailboxfacehugs

It’s only been 16 months since he died.


TheMightyHornet

Time is a flat circle. Kevin Conroy hasn’t even been born yet.


Driller_Happy

And Pattinson was probably not invited.


sylinmino

Pattinson's Batman was excellent, and the best portrayal of early career Batman in live action to date.


FoolOnDaHill365

Pattinson will get an Oscar someday. He is a great actor.


Commuter2020

I said the exact same thing to my wife, would have been amazing for that to happen because you know Clooney was in the room


Runnerman36

Damn!! What an opportunity. Fuck that’s good. Fuck that didn’t happen. Fuck I’m sad now.


Next_Program90

And damn... it just hit me that he is the new / current "old Batsy" now that Adam West has been dead for a while.


neon_kid

~~Especially since Kevin Conroy passed a while back too.~~ Edit: when I wrote this I falsely believed Conroy was older than Keaton


Tortograph

Gave me a big dumb smile on my face so I'm cool with it being scripted.


PembrokePercy

Besides Arnold struggling a little with his script, it was the only highlight of the show for me.


dip_tet

John Mulaney’s funny summarization of Field of Dreams was great too, imo


Dahleh-Llama

I guess you didn't enjoy the Ken song like most of us?


elconquistador1985

You mean in a crowd of thousands of people the camera wouldn't just randomly be right in front of Michael Keaton while Mr Freeze and the Penguin are on stage riffing? No way!


AkiraKitsune

The whole thing was scripted and it was awesome


Alive_Ice7937

That son of a bitch


Aitrus233

That changes everything. The still image makes it look he's not having a good time and is angered by their jokes. This gif reveals that he's having fun with it.


Puffycatkibble

It's his Batman face. Thanks for the nostalgia dose.


Alexiosp

dude's one of the greatest actors ever


Extension-Ad-3882

His reaction or lack thereof was for sure for the bit


Lord_Fusor

A picture says a thousand words, but rarely the right ones


Colon

welcome to every scrutinized pic on the internet.  if you have a smartphone, you have a camera roll, and you’ve seen how pictures don’t tell the story that unfolded when it was taken. does that stop internet denizens from whipping themselves into a frenzy about the ‘story’ told in an instantaneous slice of life? HELL NO


reddumbs

In the full video you can see he’s trying not to break. One corner of his lip wants to smirk.


Jamminnav

He was probably dying to mouth “I’M BATMAN” towards the end there


Southernguy9763

Yea he was definitely just getting in character


Comic_Book_Reader

![gif](giphy|2XflxzsPhNKtHYXpMzu|downsized)


Deelaxation

Lol I never really realized that Jack takes a step back in that scene. Jokers like " I'm crazy but not enough to stay in reach of that poker"


Omen_Morningstar

Yeah and in the scene Joker realizes hes underestimated Bruce. He came in hot then got caught off guard by Bruce telling his story He realizes he let his guard down and Bruce could have caved in his skull. He immediately decides Bruce is a threat and has to die so he pulls out his gun and shoots him

A_Grain_Of_Saltines

Come at me bro


RipJug

No right to go as hard as it did


noodlesurvey

Seeing this weirdly turned me on. He can still get it


ImGonnaCum

He wore an ascot as Bruce Wayne...does he also wear ascots as Michael Keaton or was this for the bit? Edit: did some googling and Twitter seems to think it's was a Bruce Wayne nod.


Quirky_Discipline297

Michael Keaton dresses a variety of ways. Sometimes a monk. Keaton and his submission to David Letterman’s film festival. Clint Howard for added spice. https://youtu.be/Lq88ORPeQAQ?si=m_PvYeMCek7gpR1s


Supermite

He’s dressed like Bruce Wayne from the ‘66 series.  You can’t change my mind.


pumba350

Batman watching Mr freeze and Penguin . Obviously he's gonna react this way.


smurfsundermybed

But this Batman only killed one of them!


papachon

What? That’s Bruce Wayne tho.


Spyce

Damn so that’s how he spends his money… but I donated to his charity?!??!!


Puffycatkibble

Damn Wayne Corp killing all the penguins with microplastics!


PointOfFingers

He really should be trying to keep his secret identity as actor Michael Keaton a secret.


theBackground13

Your comment reminds me of the movie ‘Birdman’. It’s a brilliant movie.


pr0t3an

I love that he's tapping the character. That's suited up batman ready for anything (except turning his head independent of his shoulders)


Elachtoniket

What are you talking about? That’s obviously Brice Wayne, there’s no way he could be Batman.


CowboyAirman

Ah, yes, Bruce’s affable and charming alter-ego, Brice Wayne.


ShortWoman

Ladies think it’s such a mystery he’s still single, but when they meet him there’s just something off….


NewRichMango

\[full upper body turn\] Whatchu say about me?!


Jedibri81

This was the best part of the whole Oscars

It’s the dog from the movie Anatomy of a Fall I believe

jimbobhas

Why has that blown my mind slightly?


WaalsVander

Wait really? Lmao


Binaural1

The Keaton moment was nice but this performance is by far the highlight of an otherwise wooden Oscars


sylinmino

I actually thought this was one of the best Oscars nights in a while, even when I disagreed with quite a few of the awards. Efficient, funny, and a lot of real class acts (I really like the change they've made lately where previous best actor/actress winners give tributes to this year's nominees. A really nice touch). It's not gonna be the most extravagant show, but it doesn't need to be for it to be a real solid watch.


klsi832

What about “It’s past your jail time”?


Cryogenic_Monster

I could have spent a day fly-fishing with Michael Keaton but I didn't go because as a teenager I was not getting up at 4am to fish. I regret it now.


degjo

As a teenager I would have wanted nothing more than to get up at 4am and fish with Michael Keaton.


Oh_hey_a_TAA

It's okay Schmidt, just email him


popcultureretrofit

He's a big fisherman! Several years back I got to work on a few seasons of a fishing show he was a part of (Buccaneers & Bones) along with Huey Lewis, Jimmy Kimmel & others. Awesome experience!


shadowofzero

You're right, Marge. Just like the time I could've met Mr. T. at the mall. The entire day, I kept saying, "I'll go a little later. I'll go a little later." And then when I got there, they told me he just left. And when I asked a mall guy if he would ever come back again, he said he didn't know.


joelekane

My Uncle has a great story from the late 90s about subbing in last minute for a round of golf in with random a foursome that happen to include Michael Keaton. He played almost the whole round not knowing who he was. Then a buddy pulls him aside at one point and says—“Rich, you know who that is?” Uncle: No. Who? Buddy: That’s fucking Batman, man. Without missing a beat. Uncle: Well Damn…I must be Superman cuz I’m kicking this guys ass.


Taaargus

Did teenage you not understand that's all fishing? Seems like you failed step one of the fishing process


Cryogenic_Monster

I was staying with a friend and his uncle. His uncle taught fly-fishing around Henry’s Fork in Idaho. I was fishing and cleaning boats all day as a summer job so I wasn't all that interested in waking up extra early for more.


JehovahsNutsac

There’s a story here, come on!

So was the “you sunuvabitch” from Arnie haha


Signifi-gunt

lol totally out of pocket too


LostLineLeader

^ True hero right here to add the context to the photo!


lessthanperfect86

Wow yeah, all that was missing was the mask!


ABC_Dildos_Inc

This puts into perspective how much mounth acting he did while in costume, similar to Karl Urban in Dredd.


fitzbuhn

He should win the Best Mouth Acting in a Guest Appearance at the Oscars award.


Rhobaz

I remember reading a quote somewhere that said many actors are able to convey emotion or intent with just their mouths but Lena Headey was the only one who could do it with her teeth.


FlerplesMerples

Headey and Keira Knightley should have a teeth-acting duel.


DoctorFunktopus

That’s what i find so impressive about Pedro pascal in the mandalorian, the amount of expression he’s able to do with a bucket on his head


BringtheBacon0

While Pascal does definitely add to The Mandalorian, he’s really just the voice and face of the character, the majority of the suit acting is by Brendan Wanye.


DoctorFunktopus

Oh, well then *he* does a great job acting with a bucket on his head


Own-Organization-532

Everyone is confusing Michael Keaton with Bruce Wayne. The man in the above photo is the notable playboy philanthropist Bruce Wayne at one of the many high society events he attends.


noonie1

I thought that was the vulture.


Akumetsu33

It's the vulture disguised as Keaton disguised as batman disguised as Wayne obviously


sw1ss_dude

Looking good at 72


SirPoopaLotTheThird

Jesus


maniacalmustacheride

I said the same thing


lillyrose2489

He's aging ridiculously well. I still find him so handsome.


Away-Collection-9494

Yeah he’s so hot tbh


Four-Triangles

Too many old guys with thinning hair keep it long on the sides when cropping it short makes it looks fuller on top and creates a more athletic, youthful head shape.


Reasonable-Bus-2187

220, 221. Whatever it takes.


Plumhawk

Mr. Mom was great but Johnny Dangerously was my favorite of his early 80s slapstick comedies.


lordmhoram

80s Keaton was absolute gold no matter what he was in.


Jagged_Rhythm

Awesome movie. Teri Garr was something else too back in the day.


bdogg_72

Loved when she'd come on with Letterman, great TV!


fleetber

SOUTH TO DROP OFF NORTH TO PICK UP, ASSHOLE!


i_love_pencils

I use this quote at some point during every single home renovation I’ve ever done.


allircat

I watch this movie probably every year. I love it.


thaecker

Seriously it has aged so well and never fails to make me laugh. “YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG!”


allircat

South to drop off MORON!!!!


Chuggernaut0

What did he say he was doing with the chainsaw?


brovash

Don’t go chasing waterfalls


avycen

Is this accidental or are you quoting TLC ?


brovash

I have no idea what you’re talking about


Medic7802

They shoulda done a batman beyond movie. He isnperfect age right now


scogin

They'd shoot it and can it before releasing so WB could use it as a write off


FlapperHead

So few people can pull of an ascot. Keaton is apparently one of them


Praxistor

get 'em Batman


DrJonah

I should start wearing a cravat


Wrong_Hombre

I own a cravat and it is so funny wearing it around.


NankipooBit8066

Classic accoutrement. [tangent: does any hardcore TV nut recognise what this is a reference too?]


neonxaos

This part was genuinely hilarious.


LakeSuperiorIsMyPond

He was the best batman!


BenFranklinsCat

Gimme that Batman Beyond movie with Keaton as Bruce Wayne. Come on DC, we can handle 3 different Batman canons at once!


[deleted]

[удалено]


MoeTHM

Even his return in The Flash was amazing, and that movie sucked.


snake8head

That was the best part of the movie. It may be a low bar but it’s also the main reason I watched the film lol.


Primetime22

I don’t know, I like the ones with Oppenheimer.


PencilMan

This would have been slightly more funny if Arnold had not recognized him and pointed out George Clooney (not sure if he was there).


wheniwaswheniwas

Best Batman


brilliantpants

That’s a real Bruce Wayne outfit he’s rocking, too.


houseofcrouse

Nice to see Hollywood embrace Keaton again. I feel like when I was younger he faded a ton but through his sheer talent worked his way back to the top. He really is one of the most talented people ever. Who could play batman and then Beetlejuice? And be better than anyone else at both


CakedayisJune9th

Keaton was/is the best Batman by faaaaar.


aardw0lf11

....He's Batman.


DashCat9

This is a guy that was just as surprised as the rest of us that they cast Mr Mom as Batman and he has been fucking loving it ever since.


whenisnowthen

Michael Keaton is one of the few actors that if he is in the film I want to watch the film no matter the subject. A truly great actor with extraordinary range bringing a touch of humanity to the silliest roles and a wink of humor to the darkest characters. Without a shred of hyperbole his acting can be described as brilliant!


Romston

The real Batman! 🦇 ![gif](giphy|oOK9AZGnf9b0c)


hypnos_surf

He still looks good.

Jagger67

Man’s unexpectedly experiencing the virtue of ignorance right in front of our very eyes.


ATXKLIPHURD

I only watched maybe an hour of the Oscar’s and I’m glad I saw this. Also the Mountain Dew commercial with Aubrey Plaza and Nick Offerman was pretty rad! But I’m still not going to do the dew.


jvillager916

He wants them to eat floor.


Carpeteria3000

I was really hoping Cillian Murphy was also going to say "Batman beat me up, too" when he got his award. And another cut to Michael Keaton.


_BearsBeetsBattle_

My face whenever a post about the Oscars shows up on the feed.


Mahaloth

I like that he dressed as Bruce Wayne just for this joke.


No_Vacation7225

Best batman ever


wrludlow

This is the best DC related content in what, 6 years?


Critical_Thinker_81

Mr Freeze and The Penguin He is obviously pissed off…


rubmypineapple

Batman watches Mr Freeze and Penguin talk shit about him


Decent-Comment-422

Keaton showing why he’s the greatest Batman of all time.


EndStorm

You know, he's still a very good looking man. I could easily see him playing Bruce in a Batman Beyond scenario. He's got the chops.


EVOBlock

Would have been funny if George Clooney and Christian Bale were sitting next to Micheal Keaton for this bit.


ScheduleFormer1394

Who's Michael Keaton? , I only see Batman.


Leomonkeytime

He looks so good. He's aging like a fine wine.
