'Batman' Takes On Ballpark Heckler

Catching his Pittsburgh Pirates on the road in Atlanta, actor Michael Keaton took a little time to trash talk one rowdy Braves fan.

Note to ballpark hecklers: Batman is not a fan.

In Atlanta to shoot his latest film, Michael Keaton visited Turner Field on Friday night for a game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Atlanta Braves.

The actor of the Batman film franchise, and most recently of Oscar-beloved Birdman, is a big Pirates fan. And he did not take kindly to a Braves fan loudly heckling outfielder Andrew McCutchen.

On his way out, Keaton heckled the rowdy fan, according to Yahoo Sports, pointing at the scoreboard before he left the game.

The exchange looked glorious,” noted one onlooker from a few rows up.

Keaton has been filming The Founder, the story of how Ray Kroc was able to turn McDonald’s into a successful fast food empire.

And it looks like Keaton took home his own souvenir Friday night, thanks to Pittsburg slugger A.J. Burnett.
