What followed was a hilarious segment where Schwarzenegger talked about his character’s one true weakness. When DeVito asks whether it was heat (since Schwarzenegger was Mr. Freeze in Batman and Robin), the veteran actor replies that it was actually love. On the other hand, Danny DeVito claims that Keaton’s Batman threw him out of a window!

As they both notice Michael Keaton sitting in the front rows, they both start trash-talking the Spider-Man: Homecoming actor. With a new meme format ready, the people loved the interaction of Keaton, Schwarzenegger, and Danny DeVito. It was later on in an interview when Michael Keaton decided to call out his former co-stars and claim that he could easily take them in a fight!

“You know what? You’ll be back when I tell you to come back. Danny is the one I’d worry about ’cause he’s sneaky. He’d creep up behind you, and he has the height advantage because he’s so [small]. You don’t know where he is. He’s always sneaking around. The other guy I would just put away. He’s too slow.”

The Oscars clip can be seen below, where Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito make fun of the former Batman. The veteran actor was last seen portraying the role of Batman in the 2023 film The Flash, which is available to stream on Max in the U.S.
