Could they not find someone under 40 to play the Vulture?

Ha! You thought the earlier Michael Keaton characterm the true-life Ray Kroc (very underaprreciated) of McDonalds ("The Founder") was a villian (and hero that he was, like all others he was flawed, as arguments on "The Founder" board show), here he is AS a REAL villian..THE VULTURE (and Lizs dad..) Interacial couple..

What?

[–] gcarras (2770) 7 years ago

Just sayimg kind of a progression of Michael Keaton, playing an important if "sleazy" fast food titan and pioneer, Ray Kroc, now playing a true villian.

Okay...But what was the point of the tacked on interacial couple comment? What does that have to do with anything?
Also, spoiler for the second act plot twist.

he doesn't look too old to be still in work [spoiler]or to be a dad of a high-school student[/spoiler].

and the character might not be as old as the actor.

Keaton was, unsurprisingly, perfectly cast as the Vulture.

Yes, he brings all those traits Keaton is known for, but man he is incredibly effective in the role. The big scene right before the prom is stellar.

Obviously you have never read a Spider-man comic.
