The guy in the audience who yelled out Beetlejuce (so it could be recognized at a MK great) is my hero!

Steve: "you've been Batman."
Mike:" I AM BATMAN"
So so great. touched

[jamesmathews]

I love how he always corrects people, "no, I am Batman."

[stvbrsn]

It’s pretty much impossible not to like Michael Keaton.

[ascent]

I love how that dude won't stand for Beetlejuice being left of the list. He really was extraordinary in it.

[StewChicken]

He is the first Batman I ever knew. He is something very special to me.
Rest in peace Adam West, but THIS is MY first Batman <3

[kornfreak]

7:21 - "I am Batman". DAMN RIGHT YOU ARE! Keaton will ALWAYS be the best Batman! :)

[hmenon]

Keaton would be perfect as an older Bruce Wayne in a Batman Beyond live adaptation.

Michael Keaton seems so cool. An actual bona fide huge Hollywood actor that doesn't take himself so seriously and is really down to earth. A guy you could have a beer with. I grew up watching his movies I was 5 or 6 when Batman came out. Love Beetlejuice

[cybersecurity]

Keaton comes out and immediately focuses his attention on the band leader. Didn't know celebrities were allowed to be human

[happiness]

Colbert: You've been Batman...
Keaton: I AM Batman.
Yes he fucking is.

[speedrob]

No one ever gives Multiplicity any love, that is a classic.

Michael Keaton has aged really well. Still looks like himself - nice to see a star age naturally!

[NewMessage]

Well we obviously need a Micheal Douglass / Micheal Keaton remake of 'Face Off'.

[devilundercover]

Mr Keaton will always be Batman to me. I was a kid when I first saw him as Batman; loved it then, it's still awesome now.
Talented actor. He seems very down to earth as well, which is lovely.

[DustingBread]

I'm so glad that he's proud to be Batman again! Yes he IS Batman!

[JellyBean-oryw]

Is it just me or does Michael Keaton start blushing like crazy after his film clip shows? Nice to know everyone is just a regular person at the end of the day.

[Gahnxo]

Johnny Dangerously. Look it up! One of my favorite Michael Keaton movies that no one seems to have heard of.

[umachan]

Michael Keaton is seriously one of the greatest actors in Hollywood today.

[sweepingtime]

He'll always be Beetlejuice to me.
