Another former Batman has issued his support for the future Batman.

Michael Keaton, who starred in Tim Burton's 1989 and 1992 Batman installments, "Batman" and "Batman Returns," appeared on the "Today" show on Tuesday to chat about "Need for Speed" and "RoboCop." In the process, he addressed Ben Affleck's contentious casting in the forthcoming Batman-Superman crossover movie.

Keaton also revealed on "Today" that he'd be interested in reviving his role as Beetlejuice if Burton were involved.
