Now Keaton tells this story to demonstrate, once again, that he’s grounded, that he doesn’t get all wrapped up in Hollywood nonsense. But it’s not true. At least not in this particular case. There’s no chance that Michael Keaton said these particular words to an interviewer in an attempt to highlight that people care about the wrong things. How do I know this? Because Michael Keaton’s Batman was released in 1989 and the Rwandan genocide occurred in 1994. There were no bodies floating down rivers in 1988 or 1989, when the interview that Keaton discusses here almost certainly took place; indeed, the civil war that preceded the genocide didn’t officially begin until 1990.
