At the Oscars 2024 there was on March 11th. a beautiful scene when the Oscar for best visual effects was awarded. The two stars of the 1988 comedy Twins came on stage: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. They still had a score to settle.
This was the performance of the two: The unlikely couple strolled onto the stage to a standing ovation from the Hollywood stars. The camera showed John Krasinski and Emily Blunt applauding.
DeVito explained that he was on stage with Arnold for “completely obvious reasons.” Schwarzenegger added: “We both tried to kill Batman”:
The two then talked on stage about how Batman had defeated them: So Batman was only able to overcome Schwarzenegger through his only weakness: “Heat?” DeVito asked – “Love,” Schwarzenegger replied.
The penguin, on the other hand, was ingloriously thrown out of the window.
De Vito and Schwarzenegger spot Batman in the audience
That was the highlight: The camera then captured Michael Keaton in the audience, the original Batman who had caught the Penguin. Schwarzenegger’s film featured George Clooney, but as part of the sketch, Schwarzenegger also identified the 73-year-old Keaton as “the real Batman.”
“There he is,” DeVito shouted. “He’s right over there.”
“You really have nerve to show yourself there,” said Schwarzenegger. “You son of a bitch”.
Keaton smiled coldly in the audience and made the “come here” gesture.
DeVito called him “Beakbreaker” and challenged him to a brawl after the Governor’s Ball before moving on to the awards ceremony, ending this short piece of Hollywood history that reminds us that there were superhero movies and supervillains before Iron Man.
These are the comments: The most beautiful comment on YouTube is; “Why do they call billionaire Bruce Wayne Batman?”
Who won the Oscar then? Schwarzenegger and DeVito ultimately presented the Oscar for best visual effects to “Godzilla Minus One”:
After a long time I really had goosebumps in the cinema and it’s Godzilla Minus One’s fault
