Riddle Me This: Why Not Let Stephen Colbert Play the Riddler?

Batman (1989): Why Michael Keaton is the Best Bruce Wayne

Erik Lundegaard | Posted 05.25.2011

I love the way Michael Keaton plays Bruce Wayne. We usually see him as a socialite, a playboy, and I suppose you could say he is here, too, but it's a loose, complex take on Wayne. Still, the plot keeps fraying.
