Keaton dominated the screen in the late 1980s and early 1990s, playing ‘Batman’ in 1989, facing off against the ‘Joker’ played by Jack Nicholson. He returned to the role in ‘Batman Returns,’ this time starting alongside Michelle Pfeiffer as ‘Catwoman’ and Danny DeVito as ‘The Penguin,’ with the help of Tim Burton again.

Unfortunately, Joel Schumacher took the reins for new ‘Batman’ films, and his character, until Nolan’s arrival, fell out of favor, just like Keaton, who despite continuing to be cast in smaller roles, was beginning to fall into Hollywood oblivion, despite one Golden Globe nomination for ‘Live From Baghdad’ in the early 2000s. So, when Hollywood redemption arcs are mentioned, Keaton is a great example. Through some luck, dedication, and hardwood, he regained his place at the top of the movie industry.

Keaton’s return to Hollywood

Thanks to the director Alejandro González Iñárritu, Keaton regained his place in Hollywood with a sensational performance in ‘Birdman’ (2014). The story of an actor in low times and his acting ability earned him an Oscar nomination that he could not win, although he did win the Golden Globe. This was Keaton’s only Academy Award nomination.

Since 2022, he has starred in the series ‘Dopesick’ which has earned him the Emmy Award as Best Actor. His versatility and ability to immerse himself in complex characters have kept him at the top for decades.

Now, at 72 years old, we will be able to see him again at the 2024 Oscars as one of the presenters of the event.
