BRING BACK MICHAEL KEATON as BATMAN!

[zeedox]

Isn't this obvious? Bring Back Michael Keaton!

[Mikey]

Nah, Sean Penn as Batman

[huedell]

Too late :(

Too late :(

Oh my god! Are you saying Michael Keaton is dead!?!?

Why haven't I heard anything about this.....

[Random Axe]

Since I'm such a big fan of irony, I'd love to see Keaton in a flashback cameo as Joe Chill.

I would love to see a Keaton cameo in one of these films. That would be fun.

Maybe they could work in an Adam West cameo just to show respect. Also, maybe somehow Brandon Routh could be worked in the DC film universe somehow. He really got the shaft in all this mess between WB and Singer. He had no chance to show what he was capable of. I thought he was a terrific Superman.

Because he didn't actually die... he's alive... he's just not in any films that cool-kid mainstream Hollywood has been trumpeting as of late.

EDITED TO ADD: Oh, yeah... and they cast the new Batman with some guy that was in the movie "School Ties", or something.

I agree. There were a few things wrong with that film, and none of the blame should be put on Routh, IMO. He did what he could with what he had to work with.

I did like Michael Keaton as Batman, didn't think I would. I never saw George Clooney as Batman and correct me if I'm wrong but it seems the concensus that he was the worst.

This says it all..

Kane made a cameo appearance in a crowd scene in the 1997 film "Batman and Robin." On the set as consultant, he praised actor George Clooney as the best cinematic embodiment of his hero, noting, "He has the square jaw and fits the prototype of my comic

book Batman." But Kane's opinion of the updated costumes became a running joke with the film crew, who said he roamed the set muttering, "Why do we have to have nipples on the batsuit?"

Keaton's already making a Batman like movie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birdman_(film)

I liked Keaton, and wouldn't mind seeing him play SOMEONE in a new Batman film. Maybe Jim Gordon?

Nah, they had their chance, let's move on, besides, they are too busy relaxing in their multi-million dollar mansions for me to feel any nostalgia for them, lol.

Mainly talking about Keaton here, he's settled and comfortable, had a great career.

I don't know about Routh, he was really in only one big starring movie (and he wasn't paid A-list salary), he could be living in a one bedroom apartment for all we know, lol.

Brandon Routh has been working steadily in TV. Last he had a TV series in CBS called Partners. I wish Routh had another crack at Supes too. Especially since he looked overly young in Returns and would be suitably mature in future movies.
