Oscar-nominated actor Michael Keaton had a simple reason for saying no to Batman Forever.

"It sucked," he told The Hollywood Reporter after seeing the script. After portraying the Caped Crusader in Batman and Batman Returns, both directed by Tim Burton, he voted against returning for Batman Forever, helmed by Joel Schumacher.

"I knew it was in trouble," Keaton said, "when [Schumacher] said, 'Why does everything have to be so dark?'"

I think he made the right decision.
