Michael Keaton Reveals He's Never Finished a DC or Marvel Movie: I 'Have Other S--t to Do'

Michael Keaton is making a surprising admission.

In a new interview with Variety, the 70-year-old actor revealed that despite playing the caped crusader in 1989′s Batman and 1992′s Batman Returns, he’s never watched a full length superhero movie.

“I know people don’t believe this, that I’ve never seen an entire version of any of those movies — any Marvel movie, any other,” he told the outlet. “And I don’t say that I don’t watch that because I’m highbrow — trust me! It’s not that.”

He continued, “It’s just that there’s very little things I watch. I start watching something, and think it is great and I watch three episodes, but I have other s— to do!”

Michael will be reprising his role as Batman for the upcoming DC movie The Flash, marking the first time he’ll return to the role in more than 30 years.

“I was curious what it would be like after this many years. Not so much me doing it — obviously, some of that — but I was just curious about it, weirdly, socially,” he shared. “This whole thing is gigantic. They have their entirely own world so, I like to look at it as an outsider, thinking ‘Holy moly!’”

He also praised screenwriter Christina Hodson, who’s work on the movie motivated him to take on the project. “The writing was actually really good,” he told Variety. “So I thought, why not? It’s cool to drop in and I’m curious to see if I can pull it off.”

Earlier this year, Michael revealed why he turned down Batman Forever and stepped away from the franchise. Find out what he said here.
