Keaton has always been a class act, that statement has made my day.

Here are some vids as part of my tribute:

RIP Mr. Gough.
"Imagination is a quality given a man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humour was provided to console him for what he is."

Terribly saddening to know the man I always knew as Alfred, along with Alan Napier, is gone. His Alfred was like a kind, gentle great uncle with a wit that, while not as sharp as the Animated Series' incarnation, could make you laugh or gently make you feel stupid. I think his was the best. He lived a long, full life though, so I'm not sure there are many other regrets except the void that comes about when anyone who was a big part of your childhood (which, if you're a big kid like me, can be your whole life) passes on. Pat Hingle is another example, so is Frank Gorshin.

Well said Batmobile14.

We can't forget Pat Hingle either, the two Batman stawarts from the past four films has gone but definitely not forgotten.

Hope you don't mind but I moved this thread to this new board.

Since Michael was in more than just Tim Burton's movies I thought it would be better.
