Title: Michael Keaton and animated Batman!!!
Post by: Paul (ral) on Mon, 1 Apr 2013, 10:30
I haven't been able to post this as news but...


I'm so hyped! I can hardly believe it. So I just spent the last hour private messaging Michael Keaton on twitter! I can't say too much but there is some very exciting news coming involving "animation"... You heard it here first folks!

Keaton... animated Batman... dare we hope for an adaptation of The Killing Joke?

I'm not holding out hope for the return of Nicholson as the Joker though.

Wow. This is big. Keaton adding to his Batman resume for the first time since 1992?!

A Batman Online exclusive. Way to go, Paul. I wonder if he's read the site and knows about our Burton emphasis?

Will he be playing Batman or voicing another character ala Adam West? Spill it!

 :o :) :D ;D

The fact you've been in a dialogue with Keaton is exciting enough. But the suggestion he may be involved in an animated Batman production is beyond exciting.

When can we expect to hear more about this? Is an official announcement imminent? I can't wait!!!

Poor form for the April Fools joke. Poor form.

Coming back to this.

If we're talking about fantasy animated adaptations, I'd be up for a full length adaptation of The Laughing Fish. Hell, all of the Englehart/Rogers run could make a neat series of movies but esp TLF.

I knew better, because I knew Michael Keaton would never return to Batman.

When you know that, you'll never be fooled again!

We should've expected this. Remember a few years back when he fed us that story about Keaton meeting with Nolan to discuss a role in The Dark Knight Rises, and we all fell for it? The man's a diabolical mastermind when it comes to April Fools.

But he won't fool me again next year... I hope...  :-[

That. Was. Cruel. Even if I read it too late to fall for it, just cruel. LOL

That is the truth. I think its because Paul seems like an upstanding, honest guy and when he posts it we believe it.  :D

Yep. Just as long dinner is on the table and the dishes are washed afterwards.

I'll let The Penguin answer for me in relation to your in-genius and twisted "stunt" Paul: "I'll murder you momentarily.......but first a cool drink of ice water..." lol

Tell you the truth I'd been prepared for any "skullduggery ahead" (I'm racking up points for Penguin quotes here!) because I thought the recent casting announcement of David Tennant's return to Dr Who was a cruel con. Turns out it wasn't but it got me ready for the real deal.

I'm glad I was late to the game on this and didn't take it seriously, I would've been very upset.
