Oscars Reunion: Schwarzenegger and DeVito Joke About Batman Encounters

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito had a delightful reunion at the Oscars as they joked about their encounters with Batman, igniting laughter among the audience.

The dynamic duo, known for their roles as Mr. Freeze and The Penguin, presented the awards for Best Visual Effects and Best Film Editing, adding another layer of entertainment to the star-studded event.

Schwarzenegger revealed the pair’s shared experience with Batman, playfully suggesting that their collaboration was due to both actors attempting to bring down the caped crusader.

Danny DeVito, who portrayed The Penguin in Tim Burton‘s ‘Batman Returns,’ reminisced about his character’s demise by being ejected out of a window, showcasing the humorous banter between the two legendary actors.

The humorous exchange led to a moment of tension when Michael Keaton, who played Batman in the past, was spotted in the audience, prompting more playful remarks from Schwarzenegger and DeVito towards their former on-screen nemesis.

Last year, Keaton reprised his role as Batman in ‘The Flash,’ marking a resurgence of the iconic character and intertwining the past with the present in the realm of superhero films.

Director Andy Muschietti shared an anecdote about Keaton’s emotional return to the Batcave during filming, highlighting the enduring impact of these beloved characters on the actors who brought them to life.

The on-stage reunion of Schwarzenegger and DeVito served as a nostalgic throwback to their villainous personas, captivating the audience with their charisma and humor, proving that even foes can find common ground on the grandest of stages.
