On May 12, Michael Keaton gave the commencement address at Kent State University in Ohio and ended it in spectacular fashion with:
“…I’ve got two words that I want you all to remember. They’re very important. And if I leave you with anything, I’m going to leave you with these two words. And those two words are, ‘I’m Batman!'”
Watch:
Michael Keaton closed his commencement speech at Kent State with "I'm Batman."

Keaton was reportedly paid $100,000 for the speech:
Kent State just spent $100,000 on Michael Keaton to give a speech on an attic, hitchhiking, his one pair of shoes, and how he never finished college ?? Kent read, Kent write, Kent give speeches.
