Michael Keaton answers the question concerning jealousy towards other Batman actors in the most perfect way!


When an actor leaves a big role it can be a little weird to see someone else pick up your part and play the character that you once did.

Actor Christian Bale played Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, for three films and now feels a bit of jealousy at seeing Ben Affleck suit up as the Dark Knight for the film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

During a recent interview with Short List Magazine Michael Keaton, who played Batman in the 1989 Batman film as well as the 1992 Batman Returns, was asked how he felt seeing others taking on the iconic role that he once played. His response could not be any more perfect.
"Finally, Christian Bale recently said he felt jealous to see Ben Affleck wearing the cape and cowl — do you ever get that? 
“No. Do you know why? Because I’m Batman. I’m very secure in that.”"
Drop the mic. Walk off. Nothing more needs to be said.

Wow. Keaton IS Batman. That is amazing.
