Narrowing down this icon's run of classics is no easy task.
Is there anyone in Hollywood who is as likable as Michael Keaton? If you haven’t watched Keaton’s Screen Actors Guild Best Actor acceptance speech for Dopesick yet, then prepare to laugh and cry simultaneously in a way only Keaton can make you feel. From the very beginning of his career to his exciting comeback over the past decade, it's been impossible to pin down Keaton as just one type of actor. He’s a comedian, a character, a family man, and a hero all at once.
7. Dogberry in Much Ado About Nothing Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing imagines one of Shakespeare's most iconic comedies as a glorious melodrama. Every performance is dialed up to eleven, but Keaton’s depiction of the wacky cop Dogberry might be the most heightened of the entire film. As any Shakespeare fan knows, it's the “keystone cop” who surprisingly ends up solving the central crisis, proving his heart was in the right place all along.
4. Bruce Wayne/Batman in Batman While some fans may cite Tim Burton’s second film Batman Returns as the stronger of his two DC Comics adaptations, 1989’s Batman is effectively the film that started the modern superhero craze. The film remains ahead of its time; Burton drew inspiration from 1930s German Expressionist films to create an idiosyncratic gothic mystery. Ironically, Batman is really the genesis story of Jack Nicholson’s Joker, and Keaton doesn’t opt for a big performance.
