Schwarzenegger’s jokes and Keaton’s witty comebacks kept the mood light, showing off their on-screen chemistry and friendship. And when they spottedMichael Keaton, the OG Batman himself, they couldn’t resist teasing him too.
“You have a lot of nerve to show your face around here,”Schwarzenegger teased Keaton, who took it all in stride. How cool was that? It’s not every day you see formerBatmanvillains giving a hard time to the Dark Knight himself at the Oscars!
Moments like these remind us why we love the Academy Awards. And let’s not forget the epic chemistry between Schwarzenegger and Keaton and the unforgettable roles they’ve played.
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Michael Keaton In Their IconicBatmanRoles
As Schwarzenegger and Keaton rocked their Batman roles at the Oscars and playfully teased each other, let’s not overlook their iconic performances. In 1997’sBatman and Robin, Schwarzenegger plays Dr. Victor Fries, aka Mr. Freeze.
His character is a scientist turned crook after a lab accident leaves him needing sub-zero temperatures to survive. Driven by love, he’s on a mission to cure his cryogenically frozen wife, Nora. Thanks to Batman, he finds hope for her recovery.
On the other hand, when Tim Burton broughtBatmanto the screen in 1989, he took a gamble on Keaton as Bruce Wayne. Back then, the 72-year-old was known for comedies, not superhero flicks. It was like casting Jonah Hill as Batman today. But Keaton nailed it.
Many have donned the cape, but Keaton’s Batman is still top-notch. He captured Batman’s dual nature perfectly.
As Bruce Wayne, he seemed uneasy, hiding behind a billionaire mask. But as Batman, he owned the night, striking fear into bad guys with just a glare. And when he was with Vicki Vale, his true self emerged. Both actors left a mark onBatmanfans that won’t fade anytime soon.
