# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Michael John Douglas adopted the stage name Keaton and spent the early eighties in broad comedies like Night Shift and Mr. Mom before Tim Burton cast him as Batman in 1989, a choice that drew ridicule until the film opened. He returned for Batman Returns in 1992, then left the franchise and drifted through the nineties in supporting turns and voice work. Alejandro González Iñárritu's Birdman in 2014 reframed his entire arc: playing a faded superhero actor clawing for legitimacy, Keaton earned his first Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe. Since then he's moved through prestige ensemble pieces like Spotlight and The Trial of the Chicago 7, played the Vulture in Spider-Man: Homecoming, and returned as both Batman and Beetlejuice in recent sequels. His turn as a drug-addicted doctor in Hulu's Dopesick won him an Emmy in 2021.
