It's been 30 years since we last saw Michael Keaton in the Batsuit, but according to him, it still fits just fine. The 70-year-old actor originally played the caped crusader in 1989's Batman (1989) and 1992's Batman Returns.

During an interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Oct 5, the star was asked if he could still fit in the suit, to which he replied: "Svelte as ever, man. Same dimensions, or same fitting." He continued to joke: "I don't know how many are there, like 77 Batmans? They think that they should probably form their own union."
