Micheal Keaton and Harrison ford are one of the biggest nerd actors and yet dont care at all for the fandom of it all. Love their honesty though instead of faking enthusiasm

[isaacmartinez]

Despite Batgirl being cancelled, the cast and crew got their money.

[poppy]

I remember John campea saying that Madame Web proved that BD made the right call canning Batgirl, and for some reason, I think about that a lot. That take ages like wine.

[sweeney]

It’s fine if it doesn’t get released but if they’re getting a tax right off then I think the film should become public domain. People can watch it but no one can collect money on it from that point on.

Fraser was looking forward to it. He talked about it with Howard Stern. Ironically, Michael Keaton's real name is Michael Douglas.

[mothealien]

He did his job, the movie getting out to the people is not his job so I agree with him.

[RodneyP]

I've seen Bad Boys 3 & 4. I refuse to believe these directors made a movie that was "unwatchable"

[sidneyclay]

Michael Keaton's birth name is Michael Douglas, soooo...

[AdamPaulStone]

I actually met the writer of batgirl last year and I asked her about it and she was very open about it saying “it was bad… about wasn’t THAT bad… not worse than Thor Love & Thunder” that made me LOL

[steverok]

Seeing that, with the exception of Batman 1989, Michael Keaton has seemingly never watched any of his Batman movies, or any other Batman movie, for that matter, this response should hardly be surprising.

[christiansmith]

I love his honesty we need more actors like that.

[crawdaddct]

It was a streaming movie, it was the right call.

[gardyjure]

Dc did not just cut Batgirl. They decided to reboot the entire Dceu. This moive would not have changed that decision, especially if it performed poorly. I don't blame him for not caring.

[colmcoakley]

Sounds like Keaton knew how bad it was

[RichLunaMusic]

I think he's just trying to play it cool and not let it get to him too much because even if a movie isn't good, what matters is that the people involved have fun and create relationships with others so I get where he's coming from. You can't let stuff like this get you down.

[randallsaenz]

The funniest thing about this conversation is Michael Keatons real name is Michael Douglas lol the irony of you mis naming him and yet actually referring to him by his legal name this makes me cackle with delight

[byronkennedy]

If only Sony did this with Madame Web and Morbius then I might care about Kraven

[deontecoleman]

Actually John Frasser WANTED it to come out !

[Stigmaru]

The studio lost money. Everyone else got paid. Audience got saved from a Rebel Moon moment

[Sehlat]

Since I've found out how good an actor Michael Keaton really is, I have been wondering why he was upstaged so terribly in his Batman movies by Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer. Both of them were great, but still, he should have been able to hold his own. Now it's become clear. He just doesn't care about the role as Batman.
