I think the height here is pretty accurate. He might be down to 5'9" now because of age. As for the picture with Mel Gibson, Keaton is obviously leaning in with a relaxed posture, while Mel Gibson is standing straight as tall as he can. Difference in posture makes the difference in height look greater than it is.

I thought Michael Keaton looked around 5 foot 9 inches tall (1.75m) in both Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992). I do not think that Keaton is any shorter then 5 foot 8 inches (1.73m) or any taller then 5 foot 9.5 inches (1.77m). I would be surprised if he was any taller or shorter then that range. GP says on 15/Sep/11
Hey Lorne I posted 2 pics with Michael and Mel Gibson and Michael with George Wendt .He`s head to head with 5`8`Wendt and about 1 inch shorter than 5`9.5`` Gibson ,that clearly makes him in the 5`8 ish size. And Nicholson is 5`9 and Keaton barely surpasses him with higher heeled boots which still proves he`s in the 5`8 ish range.Rob what do you think? lorne says on 12/Sep/11
This listing is pretty close. He was taller than Nicholson with the "Bat lifts" and taller than Marky Mark in "The Other Guys". Don't know why people want him to be shorter when he's clearly a weak average??? I personally say 5ft9.25in, though anything between 5'9-5'9.5 is arguable.
Michael Keaton's height:5ft9.25in at peak(176-177cm range) The Shadowmaster says on 2/Sep/11
I saw Keaton at a movie shoot and stood about 10 ft. away from him. I'm 5' 10 and he looked a couple of inches shorter than me. 5'8" or a little less. GP says on 9/Aug/11
Hi TW
Lorraine Bracco is stated at 5`7 in this site ,so if true,and Keaton barely passes her that would make him close to 5`8`. Keaton`s height should be revised at at least 5`8.5 .If cool with Rob.....pwetty pwease! TW says on 2/Aug/11
There is no way Keaton is more than 5'8.5 - 5'9 tops. In "The Dream Team" he is standing toe to toe with Lorraine Bracco (5'8) in a full body shot and he is just barely, and I mean barely, taller than her. Mr. Tempus says on 31/Jul/11
He looked 5'10 - 5'11 in Batman movies (the magic of movies :), but i think he is a solid 5'8, maybe a weak 5'8 nowdays SpaceInvaduhs says on 31/Jul/11
Michael Keaton is definitely the best Batman ever but he's also a 5'8".
I'm curious to know how he got this 5'9.75" listing. I don't think he's ever been 5'9" in his life. tell-em says on 21/Jul/11
keaton may have lost a bit of height. i think he was about 5'8.5" peak. may have been 5'9". he looked 3 inches taller than 5'6" peak henry winkler in NIGHT SHIFT. TruebloodFan says on 20/Jul/11
@GP says on 6/Jul/11
Mel Gibson is around 175cm or a cm more and wears customs a lot. After all, it's Mel Gibson, a living legend. Keaton is however, 5ft8 max. GP says on 6/Jul/11
In BATMAN 1989 Keaton wore boots with 1.5" heels. So say he's 5'8.5", that would make him 5'10" plus the cowl if counting the ears (about 3") would total to 6'1,That's the answer to the " a 6 foot bat!" that was said in the movie.
I put 2 photos with links on this thread: one where Keaton is with George Wendt (5'8") and they are at par and one where he is at least 1" shorter than Mel Gibson(5'9.5")Plus I know a few people that met him in person and swear that he is 5'8" .Anyone else want to justify this? GP says on 2/Jul/11

Proof that Michael is 5'8ish Check this pic of him beside 9'.5" Mel Gibson.
There's a good one inch! Vladimir Horowitz says on 15/Jun/11
This man is nowhere near 5 ft 9.75 in. He came into my work today for the second time, and this guy is 5'8 tops...more likely around 5'7 though. I have no idea where this 177 cm business came from, but it's completely bogus. How is this justified Rob? JP says on 10/May/11
Michael Keaton is 5`8.5`` without shoes. richinkle says on 28/Apr/11
In the "Mary Tyler Moore Hour", Michael Keaton and Mary Tyler Moore are almost exactly the same height with Mary wearing about an additional inch of heel.
I would estimate him between 5'-8 and 5'-9. Bon_ says on 12/Feb/11
Regardless of his height, I think Michael Keaton is an excellent actor.
He wil always be my true Batman. jase says on 23/Dec/10
People,people,people. I myself am an actor. The plain truth is we use lifts all of us. We use camera angles. We always cheat our height about two inches. Lets get past it and look at the actors performance and let business go on as it has for a 100 yrs in Hollywood. Just assume we are all at least "5'10" or taller" with shoes or boots in the case of Depp and Stallone and definitely RDJr. TruebloodFan says on 17/Dec/10
in some scenes in 'The other guys', he even looks shorter than Wahlberg, and Wahlberg is a very questionable 5ft8. F50 says on 13/Dec/10
Rob? Keaton at 1,77m (5'9.75")? He was never close to that height. No way he's taller than 1,74m (5'8.5"). GP says on 22/Nov/10
Proof that Keaton is 5'8"ish
check this picture with him and George Wendt 5'8" in Gung Ho
they 're quasi the same height!

He looked 5'10 in both Batman movies, and Batman is supposed to be a very strong 6'2. But who cares? He was awesome in both of them. GP says on 5/Nov/10
No matter what height he is or has been wheter in comics or movies etc,
One thing's for sure.
If you are a Batman fan,you surely aren't one because of how tall he is,
All Batman fans have to agree,he's got on o the coolest costumes ever ,whether black or grey suit ,blue cowl or black cowl.We all love him because of his
awesome look and of course his gadgets and vehicles!
My fav is Adam West's version and s close contender is Clark Bartram who was in the fan movie: Batman Dead End/World's Finest.He's only 5'8" but has got such a cool presence!
I salute all Batmen no matter what size they are! Mister_Lennon says on 4/Nov/10
Well, i dont trust in Bob Kane, because this guy was a total bitch and denied the merits of Bill Finger, the mand who did more for batman.
The think is that in the comics, Bruce Wayne never looked 5'9. 6 at least, and usually 6'2 or 6'3.
And im not underrating the 5'9 people or the shorter people who are great fighters. Bruce Lee was maybe one of the best fighters ever and he was about 5'7. Im only saying that Wayne was always very tall. I dont see the sense of changing it. GP says on 2/Nov/10
Yes ML,DC comics gave him that height since the 1980's,but before that
he had no established height.Bob Kane, and not DC, always saw the character between 5'9" to 6' .
5'9" is not a joke.Rocky Graziano the boxer was 5'9" and he was one of the best
He KO'd many rivals in the over 6' category.
How about Bruce Lee who was 5'7" he also beat many over 6'.
An average sized Batman makes a lot of sense when talking about speed,agility,dexterity,acrobatics,camouflage,balance,etc.
He would be quickr in making his escapes in comparison with a very tall person.
Don't under-estimate the potential of an average sized man. Mister_Lennon says on 1/Nov/10
No, batman is 6'2. The other interpreations of the character in movies with real actors is another thing. But the character has been stabilished in 6'2. 5'9 is a joke. GP says on 1/Nov/10
6'2" height to Batman was given by DC comics in the 1980's and not by it's
creator Bob Kane.In an interview Bob ane mentioned that "anyone can be Batman ,he has no super powers"
Batman comes in all shapes and sizes:
1940'S serial Batman
1966 TV Batman
Comic book Batman
Movie Batman
Lego Batman
He's gone by being 5'9" to a little 2 "
f you like your Batman to be 6"2" it's cool
If you want him 5'9" it's also cool!
Batman can be anyone!
Could you imagine if at Halloween the stores selling Batman costumes would display this:
Sorry,Batman costumes Only available in 6' 2" sizes.
Wouldn't that also hurt the little tots heart,that they can never dream of being their favorite super hero,especially if they never grow up to be that size!
Let's be Liberal about it. Dr. Mandich says on 31/Oct/10
I am 5'8", and while working a film festival I met him. Keaton is a good inch shorter than I. This was 2003-ish, and we were wearing same height heels (cowboy boots). Mister_Lennon says on 25/Oct/10
Nope. Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, is 6'2 without shoes. In boots, he is about 6'3 or 6'4. And yes, superman looks slightly taller the most of the times, but sometimes batman owns him in height. It depends on the artist. But you forget something, superman is in boots too. So, supes is 6'3 without shoes and 6'4 or 6'5 in boots. lawrence says on 23/Oct/10
wait dosnt the real batman wear lifts? and i never heard b ob kane say 6' 2" i remember him sayign 6 feet. HOWEVER, im guessing because of his boots he oculd be 6' 2" in the bat suit. but his barefoot height i would haveot go with the original creators idea of 6 feet flat. if he was 6'2" barefeet in thoase boots hed be way taller than superman. and supermans always the taller of the two lol. |
