Michael Keaton became a Hollywood favorite in the ’80s and ’90s with standout roles in Beetlejuice and Batman. After Batman Returns, he stepped back from major roles to avoid typecasting, focussed on projects that truly interested him, and spent time with his family. His career saw a remarkable resurgence with Birdman (2014), earning him critical acclaim and an Oscar nomination. Since then, Keaton has continued to shine in acclaimed films like Spotlight and The Founder.
