In the years since retiring from the role of Batman, Michael Keaton as tapped into that particular sensibility a few times.
This video of the Kent State commencement is fun and lighthearted, but Keaton has also used his time as Batman to inform other roles that went on to garner similar critical acclaim.
Specifically, his role as Riggan in Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s Birdman was heavily-inspired by the fame and notoriety he achieved during his tenure as Bruce Wayne, and it’s fairly obvious that he still knows how to tap into that inherent sense of darkness that made audiences fall in love with the Gotham City hero of the late 1980s and the early 1990s.
