The actor is back as the Caped Crusader in the highly-anticipated 'Flash' and 'Batgirl.'

“It was a job,” Keaton said of the 1989 film. “And then the next one was a job, and I enjoyed it. But then over time — and then the third one, I just couldn’t do. I just thought, ‘Well, this is not good. This is not good. I just can’t do it. I’ll blow my brains out. Just can’t live with myself.’ And so I walked away.”

Keaton did not go into further details about his decision, but he insinuated that, at the time, he was sick of the role and not interested in the extracurriculars that are a part of playing such an iconic character. “At some point, you’re a jerk, if you don’t go [to conventions]. This is a legitimate world. You’re no better or worse than this, but I’m naïve,” he said.

But when the Batman opportunity came around again, Keaton said his curiosity got the better of him, as the world of playing such characters was vastly different from when he first stepped into the batsuit. “I thought, ‘Boy, what would that be like?’ And then, coincidentally, there were murmurs, and I got a call from Warner Bros. They wanted to talk to me about something and there were hints of Batman.” Studio execs asked him to just read“It has to be good,” Keaton admitted. “There’s no reason to do it if it’s not good. It’s not gonna really change anything. And I just jumped in and had fun. And why would you not? You know, I mean, director Andy Muschietti is fantastic, and it’s really creative.
