Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
The Big Picture After 36 years, Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice is finally getting a sequel in the fitting form of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. The horror comedy will see the return of Michael Keaton’s famed Bio-Exorcist. However, as most DC fans know well, Keaton’s other famous film role from the 80s was Batman. The actor would go to play the latter character three times, but Beetlejuice and Batman never got a chance to meet face-to-face.
However, the showdown that every Keaton fan has been waiting for is happening on the cover of Batman #152. With art by Joe Quinones, the piece is an alternate take on Batman’s iconic cathedral finale. Keaton’s Dark Knight is waiting on top of the bell tower in his classic 89 suit. Yet, instead of Jack Nicholson's Joker waiting for him, Keaton’s Beetlejuice is there in his elongated carousel form getting ready to strike behind Batman.
That sequel would end up being deemed too dark by many viewers and parents, despite being a cult classic by today's standards, which would cause WB to shift gears, replacing Burton as director with Joel Schumacher for Batman Forever. Finally, the last piece linking these two legends is composer Danny Elfman. He’s best remembered for his rousing Batman score and them. However, his music for Beetlejuice is just as whimsically gothic and fun.
