He is Batman. He is Batman. He is Batman. Repeat that 15 more times.

While doing a brief question and answer session for Variety's #AskHollywood segment, Michael Keaton was first asked if he ever looks at himself in the mirror and says his famous catchphrase.

The actor was also asked how to stare people down and intimidate them, what similarities Ray Kroc and Donald Trump have, and how Hollywood veterans can help create new opportunities for women in the business.

The last question lead Keaton to be retrospective about his work on Mr. Mom, referring to the film as "ahead of its time."

Check out the video for the Birdman's hilarious and poignant answers. The actor definitely doesn't mind being the butt of a joke or two, and has plenty jokes of his own to make.

Keaton returns to comic book adaptations as the Vulture in Spider-Man: Homecoming, due in theaters July 7.

A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.

The cast features Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Robert Downey Jr., Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, and Marisa Tomei.

The film is being directed by Jon Watts (Cop Car), based on a screenplay by Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley (Vacation reboot) and Jon Watts & Christopher Ford and Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers.
