Burying a movie starring Michael Keaton, though? You’d think there’d be consequences. -- nm - Mop Aug 3, 07:42
Michael Keaton’s name isn’t guaranteeing success for any movie. - MDH Aug 3, 07:18 12
- It was never supposed to be release in theaters, I think. (NM) - Marlowe Aug 3, 07:33
- as the original Batman? I think you are sorely mistaken. -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 07:19 10
  - After Spider-Man, American Assasin, Dumbo, and the Protege all flopped. Look at his filmography. I like the guy but he’s not a name at all. -- nm - MDH Aug 3, 07:37 7
    - MDH, four out of four STers can't be wrong. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 08:37
    - Michael Keaton isn’t. Michael Keaton as Batman is the defining Batman for a generation of people. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 3, 08:18
    - He *is* Batman for a *lot* of people. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 08:08 2
      - Yup. It's him and Adam West for me. -- nm* - Krusty Aug 3, 08:49 1
        
        Add Kevin Conroy for his animated voice, and we have the trifecta of formats. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 08:53
    - you're correct. But it's Iconic character that he brought to mainstream movies. They'll do something with him -- nm - Remlik Aug 3, 07:42
    - not his name, but the character he played -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 07:38
  - (but, to be fair, I have been wrong once or twice before :) ) -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 07:23
  - and after No Way Home if your PR Department can't sell it, then you need to hire a new PR Department -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 07:20
