I happen to like Keaton in the role.... I just don't know how he got it. Not an obvious choice in any way really.
I'm sure someone here is an expert on these films and will know, but I would suspect Keaton's role as Beetlejuice played some. . .er, role.I happen to like Keaton in the role.... I just don't know how he got it. Not an obvious choice in any way really.
I agree 100%! Nolan's film was made for those with a 78 IQ, so they could enjoy their Batman, and judging by ticket sales, and Nolan fanaticism, it worked!
I'll never understand why people feel the need to do this. Why bash Burton or Nolan's films? Both are great and there's no reason drop kick either film maker in the teeth.

Well I'd heard that and its not unusual for a director to carry an actor from one film into another....but still. Why would you decide to cast a short, non-buff guy as Batman? I'm sure Burton said something about the eyes...but I'm also fairly sure if he looked around he could have found a taller, buffer guy with striking eyes too!
Well anyway, I still like Keaton. He somehow made it believable in his films.
No I'm not. I never said Nolan didn't use the same actors across films and franchises. Of course he did/does. That had nothing to do with the question of why Keaton was cast.Kara's being one-sided. Nolan's done the same with Bale as well. Keaton worked because he helped Burton fully realize his vision, the same way Bale helped Nolan with his.

According to the blu-ray extras Burton thought Keaton had the ability to act well under the cowl useing mainly his eyes. I think he chose wisely based on that. Even his facial gestures lend a lot to the character.

Also i remember Burton saying that Keaton looked like someone who needed to dress up as a bat in order to be menacing. Like, if it was some big scary looking dude he wouldnt need a disguise. Something along those lines.
In Batman Returns when he is flying through the sewers in the boat...something flys over him and the look in his eyes and his facial features are classic....

Both sound like pretty good reasons to me. I really wish Keaton was still getting more work.Also i remember Burton saying that Keaton looked like someone who needed to dress up as a bat in order to be menacing.

But as Rachel pointed out--isn't Bruce Wayne the mask, meaning public Batman is, in fact, REAL WAYNE/BATMAN??Both Keaton and bale manage to deliver a good Bruce Wayne and that's the key for me
After all they have to play 3 people bruce Wayne billionaire idiot, public batman and real Bruce/ batman

Getting back to the figure, I'm curious how the plate-on-a-stick (behind the batarang) is going to attach to his arm/hand, as there doesn't appear to be anything on the opposite end to connect it.
The fact that Bruce witnesses both his parents murder (something most of us would never recover from) sets the precedent for a dark movie/story. Nolans Batman films are easily the more appropriate route to take when telling the story on the big screen.
