He was even thinner in Batman and Robin. His face was fuller in ER. I think the only actor to gain weight and put on muscle was Bale...and maybe Affleck.

Kilmer looked to be pretty good shape.
Keaton......didn't look like he had a single muscle on his body.
Terrible casting. Just about any male actor of the time would have looked good in 89 suit.

Yeah but Tim Burton wanted a creepy looking dude to play Bruce Wayne, so, considering that it was a good casting

definitely good casting
he was a really odd man in those two movies. totally felt different from everyone else. Even more weird than the Joker since the Joker started as a lame gangster in that movie.

Are you seriously saying Michael Keaton was miscast as Batman!

EF you have no cred, you've admitted ROTS as one of your top three SW films.

Because those are just kiddie films.

I'm with EF, never liked Keaton as Batman.
And I saw that movie in the theatres.
But then again, I also have ROTS in my top three SW movies...

Can someone knocking a poor, defenseless jar down with a mitten be construed any other way?

I like Keaton in the role. Burton's idea was to have an everyday guy who puts on a suit and becomes Batman...kind of like Iron Man, so I like the 89 Batman for what it is, and I don't compare it to the comic book character, who is at the peak of human perfection, both physically and mentally. Same goes for Bale's Batman, he's not the comic version either, but I like the Nolan films as their own interpretation, their own thing. Bale was in good shape and they showed his training in Batman Begins, so that was cool.
I'm a huge Keaton fan, and have been since Beetlejuice, but to be totally honest, I don't like Burton Batman in general. Keaton is probably the one thing I like best about him. He's a highly armored, mostly immobile guy who fights a guy with swords using his guantlets. He kills thugs for laughs. Yeah, he's got the dark and intimidating part down, but I'm a much bigger fan of Bale Bats. I enjoy Keaton's Wayne, as well, but he's not really Bruce Wayne to me, either.

Yeah, all that is true. That's what I meant when I said I like it for what it is. I still think the best thing about that film, and probably most of Burton's films for that matter, is the style and look of the city and the characters. I didn't mind Keaton's lack of mobility because in my mind it made him seem like he was such a skilled martial artist, that he didn't need to do much in order to win a fight and beat an opponent....or maybe that's just nostalgia talking.

Let it be nostalgia because that movie upholds and delivers on its nostalgia platform.
That's actually how I've always looked at it aswell.
Yeah, Batman '89 works as a film. The mood is great, and that version of Batman is very cool. He's just not actually Batman to me, and wasn't even as a 9 year old.
Thinking back I had no other awareness of Batman other than Adam West and so, to me, Keaton's Batman became the ''real'' Batman. I guess this is why I ultimately packed in the Nolan Batman stuff and have only kept the DX09 and the Keaton Batmobile on display.
