Matzzon Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Can´t this man just retire? 68 years old and after 88 credits as actor in short movies, movies and TV-series. Some people are truly desperate for the last buck in the wallet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could give them a run for their money Colin! The bat mobile - is it Apple or Android? Robin: Holy horrors Batman, the Bat mobility scooter has run out of charge and we've not even left the Assisted Living Bat Complex. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are truly desperate for the last buck in the wallet. How about you retire from commenting on Thai-Visa? Seems like you are truly desperate to keep trolling here! Acting is one of the professions where you can keep working until either your body and/or mind can’t do it anymore or the offers run out. Keaton is a great actor, so why should he retire? I’m also pretty confident that he doesn’t really need the money at this point in his life. Having said that, Batman, really?! A bit too old for that, if you ask me!

Kerryd Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 It doesn't say he's going to be a "Jason Bourne" type batman. He could be a minor character (or even just a cameo appearance) as the "old, retired Batman" who merely offers sage advice to a younger hero. It does say "alternate multiverse" which is catchphrase for "we don't have to follow any of the "rules" when it comes to the stories we put out". And Keaton wasn't too bad in Spiderman: Homecoming which came out just 3 years ago. One who I think should retire though is Patrick Stewart. After seeing him in Star Trek: Picard, it almost seems like the "aged and mentally diminished" character he played in Logan was more "natural" than "acted". Because he seems to be showing similar signs of being "aged and diminished in the latest Star Trek series as well. I don't think he'd (deliberately) play a different character in a similar way in 2 different scenarios. Keaton is 68. De Niro is 76. Redford is 83. Michael Douglas is 75. Sean Connery is 89. Patrick Stewart is 79. Also keep in mind how much CGI and "green screen" is used these days. Between that, costumes, make-up and stunt doubles, they could have Keaton outperforming Vin Diesel and The Rock when it comes to "action" (though I'm sure the critics would roast them for it).

Must be terrible when the only life you have is sitting on Thai visa slagging everyone off. Why it wouldnt occur to him that maybe the guys doing it because he loves what he does.

From memory he has a couple of supporters jump in after a few posts, when they see the coast is clear of course and think they can have a sneak go from behind and put the boots in. Gutless miserable genetic slop. A waste of a load that should have been wiped on the sheets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he keeps posting BS, I’ll put my 5 cents in. He seems to have learned his lesson last time, though, since he’s not responding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
