Michael Keaton takes in Steelers, Pirates games in Pittsburgh
A day after watching the Pittsburgh Pirates game, actor Michael Keaton took in the Steelers on “Monday Night Football.”
Keaton, a Robinson native, watched some of the warmups Monday night from the sideline wearing a Pirates hat. He watched as the Steelers defeated the Browns, 26-22.
On Sunday, with the New York Yankees taking on the Pirates at PNC Park, it would seem only fitting to have Gotham’s top caped crusader in the house.
And Keaton, aka Batman, delivered, showing up — in Section 20 — to catch the Bucs defeat the Yanks, 3-2.
Before the first pitch, Keaton stopped by the Pirates’ locker room to grab a few photos with players and manager Derek Shelton.

Keaton, who waved hi to fans in an appearance on PNC Park’s video screen, recently donned his black cape once again to play Batman in this year’s “The Flash.”
He will reprise one of his most iconic roles in “Beetlejuice 2,” which is nearly done filming (it’s on pause because of the Hollywood strike). Director Tim Burton is once again directing, with Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara also reprising their roles from the 1988 original.
In 2022, the Oscar-nominee picked up a Screen Actors Guild award and an Emmy for his role in Hulu’s “Dopesick.”
