What is Micheal Keaton's Signature Role? (1 Viewer)

[badmojo1006]

Most likely it will be Beetlejuice, but I still think of him as Jack - Mr Mom

220, 221 whatever it takes

Damn, almost left off my choice

 

[KCitons]

I liked Multiplicity.

She touched my pepe.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Gung Ho down?

 

[JAMES!]

No Gung Ho, Spotlight or Mister Rogers Neighborhood option?

 

[otb_lifer]

Bill Blazejowski - because he was more effeminate than Carol, and because Shelley Long had a terrific panty-### shot in that flick. 

 

[brun]

Voted Beetlejuice, but my favorites are; Billy Caufield in The Dream Team and Carter Hayes in Pacific Heights.

 

[Ghost Rider]

220, 221, whatever it takes. 

 

[cockroach]

Was thinking Batman, but forgot about Beelteguise

My Life was a really good movie to me

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Voted Beetlejuice but Johnny Dangerously his best

Same here.

 

[Hov34]

I did this one back in 2007.  

Mr. Mom won.

 

[Koya]

Gung Ho down?

Saw this. In the theatres. 

 

[Bull Dozier]

Wow, tough one.  If someone said "hey quick, name a Michael Keaton role" Batman would be the first to come to mind, but it was certainly not his best.  Mr. Mom if a gun was to my head, but several of these are good.

Need to see Birdman.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

He was a great villain in Pacific Heights, and got pretty good comeuppance, too. 

 

[Koya]

Wow, tough one.  If someone said "hey quick, name a Michael Keaton role" Batman would be the first to come to mind, but it was certainly not his best.  Mr. Mom if a gun was to my head, but several of these are good.

To me it's beetlejuice, no question.  A special role, special character and truly unique movie

 

[Osaurus]

Batman is my favorite, but Beetlejuice is iconic.

 

[Charlie Steiner]

I think what he did in Birdman could be his greatest acting performance.  Don't know that 'best' = 'signature', though, so even though Beetlejuice isn't one of my favorites, it can be said that no one else could have been that character, not even Robin Williams. It grudgingly gets my vote.

Never saw it in the theatre, and when I tried to watch it with my kids a few years ago, they wouldn't sit through it.  I've still never seen the whole thing.

 

[higgins]

Other -- Pacific Heights

 

[whoknew]

Gung Ho down?

Watch it every time it is on.

 

[NutterButter]

No Gung Ho, Spotlight or Mister Rogers Neighborhood option?

Good catch.  Excellent movie with a solid performance from Keaton.   He was good in the Other Guys as well.

Had to go Batman as his signature role.   

 

[jury]

Cars

Skip it unless you like pretentious artsy streaming piles of crap

The characters from "Night Shift", "Mr. Mom" and "Gung Ho" are all the same guy.

 

[Kraft...]

Bill Blazejowski - because he was more effeminate than Carol, and because Shelley Long had a terrific panty-### shot in that flick. 

And the pokies in that little t-shirt top she was wearing

[Chemical X]

[Max Power]

Went Beetlejuice.

Tim Burton originally wanted Sammy Davis Jr to play the role. True story. 

I voted for Batman. 

 

[Henry Ford]

I think if this poll had happened before the Dark Knight movies Batman would have won. 

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

I was just saying the other day when I saw him in the Spiderman preview that I feel like we were robbed some years of Michael Keaton with his strange scarcity the last 20 years or so. Really captivating screen presence and great comedic delivery. I voted Beelejuice. 

 

[Zow]

Skip it unless you like pretentious artsy streaming piles of crap 

I enjoyed it. 

It's definitely very weird though and can easily see how it would turn most people off.  I think it's either a love it or hate it movie. 

 

[Insein]

His Batman was good. Beetlejuice was great. But Mr. mom was quintessential Keaton in my book.

 

[Charlie Steiner]

Tim Burton originally wanted Sammy Davis Jr to play the role. True story. 

I voted for Batman. 

Don't know how an aging Sammy would have fared in that role.  Would have been a wild scene, man.

Too bad he died before Burton made 'Big Fish'; he could have played the witch with the eye that would show you how you die if you look into it.

 

[dal_boys_phan]

Voted Gung Ho.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Clean&Sober was his best acting role, Multiplicity is my favorite role, and Birdman is probably the answer to this poll. 

 

[flapgreen]

Bruce Wayne 

 

[AAABatteries]

Good catch.  Excellent movie with a solid performance from Keaton.  

Odd timing for me as I just watched Spotlight this week for the first time.  He was great.

Loved Pacific Heights and Mr. Mom but I think the answer is Beetlejuice.

 

[otb_lifer]

And the pokies in that little t-shirt top she was wearing 

made the Fonz sweat  

 

[KarmaPolice]

I don't like Beetlejuice, so first one that came to mind was Mr. Mom.  Second was Batman.

 

[peaces]

Jack Frost

 

[massraider]

Mr. Mom is such a great movie.

 

[Bull Dozier]

Jack Frost

One of the worst movies ever.

 

[Jayrod]

Batman, Beetlejuice or Mr. Mom...no wrong answer between those three.

I voted Mr. Mom because I think that role was less carved out for him and more what he made it.  Although, Beetlejuice was pretty impressive.  He has really great range, IMO.  I watched Cars 3-4 times with my son before I saw that he was the voice of Chick Hicks. I still can't tell it's him based on the sound of his voice, even though I know it is.

 

[Jayrod]

On a side note, I consider Keaton to be an underrated actor.  Really like a lot of his roles and he has a lot of variety in there.
