Getting his start in the late 1970s, Michael Keaton first rose to prominence in the '80s thanks to his roles in several comedic films. His life would change forever in 1989 with the release of Tim Burton's Batman, a movie that saw him take up the mantle of Bruce Wayne for a new generation. He'd portray the Caped Crusader once more in Batman Returns, but after 1992, he did everything he could to distance himself from the DC superhero.
