Why didn't Michael Keaton just offer suggestions to the script if he thought that it sucked?


That's his own words for why he didn't play Batman for a third time.

I would figure that after two Batman movies under his belt, he had enough industry cred to offer suggestions to Joel Schumacher or any other Batman film director.

He was tired of being upstaged by the villains. He realized with Tommy Lee Jones & Jim Carrey it would happen again.
