So next week we're getting all new 2-disc special editions of all four Batman movies along with Batman Begins. The first 2 have commentart tracks, but only Tim Burton is featured on them. Now, I can understand maybe Jack Nicholson not wanting to do it. He's a busy guy. Don't get me wrong, he's still an asshole for not doing it since his Batman deal garnered him the biggest paycheck in the history of movies, but I can at least understand why he might not to want to do it.
But fuck you, Michael Keaton. It's not like you're busy. I'm sorry, but I don't think that making movies like Herbie: Fully Loade and First Daughter are more important than doing commentary for the best comic book movie ever made. You're not at a point in your career where you can blow off doing commentaries for movies you made when you were still famous. Tim Burton is busy as hell and he MADE time to do the commentaries.
Dude, I totally don't think they even asked him to do it. Like Jon Lovitz on The Critic DVD. He had no interview or commentary, but he shows up on some Simpsons DVD where they ask him about it and he says, "They didn't ask me :'( "
I think WB doesn't like Keaton so they decided not to ask him to do the commentary. Hell, Pee-Wee isn't on Batman Returns and he LOVES commentaries... especially with Tim Burton. WHAT THE F***, WB!?!?!?!?

That could be.... Keaton did walk off of Batman 3 after they fired Burton and hired Joel Schumacher to make it all cartoony. Of course, that wasn't an entirely bad idea.
