Trailer: A first look at Michael Keaton and an all-star cast in ‘Birdman’

The original Batman is now (somehow) 62 but is still looking as maniacal as ever.

We’ve missed Michael Keaton.

One of the most offbeat and watchable stars of the ’80s and ’90s has gone a bit quiet of late, but returns in this class looking comedy drama about an actor – famous for playing an iconic superhero – who is struggling to stage a Broadway play.

The original Batman is now (somehow) 62 but is still looking as maniacal as ever.

The rest of the cast is pretty impressive too, with Emma Stone, Ed Norton, Naomi Watts and Zach Galifianakis also starring.

Birdman, directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, is released in October.
