Keaton on THE LATE SHOW: Yeah, The Batsuit Still Fits!

1967

Thanks and a shoutout to BOF Senior Contributor Peter Verra for the heads up on this story!  Now, let’s get to that story…

While guesting on THE LATE SHOW, host Stephen Colbert asked Michael Keaton if his Batsuit for THE FLASH still fit.  Here’s MK’s response…

“Svelte as ever.  Same dimensions. Same fitting.”

Of course, MK isn’t actually wearing any of the suits that he sported in either BATMAN (1989) and BATMAN RETURNS (1992), but it’s obvious the suit (suits?) he’ll wear will resemble those he sported back in the day.  But as a dude who is fixin’ to be just 14 years younger than Mr. Keaton — and one that that prides himself of staying in shape — the fact that he’s playing Batman again at the age of 70 is F’n awesome!

Additionally, Bill Blazejowski said it was “great” to play Batman again and pondered just how many Batmen (Batmans?) on film there are nowadays.  “I don’t know how many there are, like 77 Batmans (Yes, I agree with MK that the proper plural version of Batman is Batmans),” he said. “They should form their own union.”  Check out the video below.

And remember, Barney Rubble, is one hell of an actor, right? – 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. If there is a Mount Rushmore of this stuff, his face is already up there — sunglasses on, arms crossed, probably telling someone to calm down. 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.
