Keaton on TTS/Fallon: Putting the Batsuit Back on Was Like “Riding a Bike”

4433

“Like riding a bike.”

This was Michael Keaton’s answer to THE TONIGHT SHOW host Jimmy Fallon’s question of what was it like putting a Batsuit back on for the first time in 3 decades.

But let me tell you, me typing MK’s answer here in this article doesn’t do HOW he said it justice.  For that, you’re going to have to watch the video of the interview which I’ve provided.

Also, MK explains why it’s better to be “skinny” when planning Batman rather than being all bulked-up.  The story involves Jack Nicholson — who of course played The Joker in BATMAN  (1989) and it’s hilarious.  The video is below. (Thanks to BOF contributor Javi Trujillo for the heads up!) – Bill “Jett” Ramey

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
