For those of us who grew up in the eighties and nineties, they don’t get much more iconic than Michael Keaton. Before he ever suited up as Batman, he was already iconic thanks to the title role in Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice. Known mostly for his run of comedies in the 80s, including Night Shift, The Dream Team, Johnny Dangerously and Gung Ho, he moved into more dramatic territory with Clean & Sober. Following his two Batman movies, Keaton’s career cooled down as he focused on raising his son, only for him to launch a huge comeback with Birdman. With roles in Spotlight, Dopesick, The Flash, and the upcoming Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Keaton’s star is brighter than ever!
