You’re no better or worse than this, but I’m naïve,” he said.In the wake of the recent news that Alfred Molina is reportedly returning as Dr Octopus for MCU Spider-Man 3, I felt like writing something on the moral character of his version of Dr Octopus in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2. “At some point, you’re a jerk if you don’t go. Keaton explained to The Jess Cagle Podcast that he also disliked some of the mandatory publicity that came with the role. ![]() This could be brilliant!’”īut Scumacher’s ideas for Batman III weren’t the only reasons he backed out of Gotham City. We’ve got a chance here to fix whatever we kind of maybe went off. “I said, ‘You want to see how this guy started. You look at where he went, which is exactly what I wanted to do when I was having meetings about the third one,” Keaton revealed on Marc Maron’s WTF Podcast in 2013. Of course, Keaton has been vocal in the past about what he’d hoped to do with the character had he done “Batman III,” and it sounds a lot like what Christopher Nolan did with the Dark Knight Trilogy. We know the story: Schumacher went on to make two of his own Batman movies, 1995’s Batman Forever and 1997’s Batman & Robin, which…aren’t remembered quite as fondly as the Burton films these days. Let’s just say Keaton and Schumacher didn’t see eye to eye regarding where Bruce’s story should go next. Indeed, Keaton was originally set to reprise his role for a third film after Batman Returns, but he chose to move on after Joel Schumacher was brought on to replace Burton as director. Just can’t live with myself.’ And so I walked away.” But then over time - and then the third one, I just couldn’t do. “And then the next one was a job, and I enjoyed it. “It was a job,” Keaton said of his first stint as Batman. Along the way, the movie will also revisit the Gotham City of the Tim Burton era and all the easter eggs that likely come with that blast from the past.Īt the very least, it sounds very different from what Keaton was doing with the role in the ’90s when, after just two movies, he decided to exit the franchise to pursue other things. “Creative” would be one word for what looks like a DC multiverse-shattering adventure that will see The Flash (Ezra Miller) team up with Keaton’s Batman, Ben Affleck’s Batman, Supergirl (Sasha Calle), and a Barry Allen from an alternate timeline to stop an unknown threat. And why would you not? You know, I mean, director Andy Muschietti is fantastic, and it’s really creative. “There’s no reason to do it if it’s not good. ![]() “It has to be good,” Keaton said of the script. They wanted to talk to me about something and there were hints of Batman.”īut Keaton said that it was ultimately the script, which was penned by Birds of Prey and Batgirl scribe Christina Hodson, that truly convinced him. It sounds like Keaton started thinking about what playing a much older Batman would be like even before WB gave him a call: “I thought, ‘Boy, what would that be like?’ And then, coincidentally, there were murmurs, and I got a call from Warner Bros. But times, and feelings, change.īut still, the question lingers: why did Keaton decide now was the right time to return to the Batcave he abandoned 30 years ago? On The Jess Cagle Podcast With Julia Cunningham, Keaton finally explained what convinced him to come back. This is a bit unexpected, to say the least.Īfter all, Keaton, who went on to star in many other classics, including Birdman, in which he arguably played a character partly based on his own post-Batman life, spent decades dodging questions about the Caped Crusader - or flat out saying he wasn’t interested in ever revisiting the character. The legendary actor who first brought the Dark Knight to the big screen in 1989, and last wore the cape and cowl in ’92, is set to reprise his role in The Flash and Batgirl. Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s big cameos may be fresh in the mind, and worth over $1 billion at the box office, but some would argue the return of Alfred Molina and Willem Dafoe still isn’t as surprising as Michael Keaton’s DC comeback.
