according to les daniels's reference book "batman: the complete history", keaton was not surprised when he was first considered as batman as he initially believed the film would be similar to the 1960s television series starring adam west. it was only after he was introduced to frank miller's comic book miniseries, "the dark knight returns", that keaton really understood the dark and brooding side of batman that he portrayed to much fan approval. keaton later reprised the role for the sequel "batman returns" (1992), which was another critically acclaimed success. he was initially set to reprise the role again for a third batman film, even going as far as to show up for costume fitting. however, when burton was dropped as director of the film, keaton left the franchise as well. he was reportedly dissatisfied with the screenplay approved by the new director, joel schumacher. according to the a&e "biography" episode on keaton, after he had refused the first time (after meetings with schumacher), warner bros. offered him $15 million, but keaton steadfastly refused and was replaced by val kilmer in "batman forever" (1995).
