Micheal Keaton, the former Batman and current star of the upcoming Herbie: Fully Loaded, spoke about two of his former high-profile projects while doing press for "Herbie".

When asked about the forthcoming Batman Begins, Keaton was ecstatic about the film's quality.

"I'd think it'd be good...It's a really good cast and [Christopher Nolan is] a really good director. I would think it probably is good."

Keaton then revealed he hasn't seen a "Batman" movie since his own, Batman Returns.

"I've never seen (the "Batman" films) since I did mine. Not interested. I have no interest. It's not complicated; people don't seem to believe me. I'm just not interested. I only fill my life with things I'm interested in."

When asked which characters he would like to revisit, Keaton spoke about approaching Beetlejuice sometime in the future.

Keaton said he would do the film, "If 'Beetlejuice' was done right. At one point, I had a conversation with Tim cause I love this movie so much; I'd think there's one more in there somewhere. And we both talked about it and I think there's a script written once years ago that wasn't quite it. I would consider that a lot; I would seriously consider it."

Herbie: Fully Loaded hits theaters June 22.

I think it would be cool if him & Burton did a Beetlejuice 2.

Beetlejuice truly is a great film. One of my favourites.

I remember the script rumors, it wasn't so good sounding

Holy, another Beetlejuice would be awesome. That movie is in my Top 10.
