BATMAN/ BATMAN RETURNS
Michael Keaton
Keaton portrayed the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman in the Tim Burton-directed "Batman" (1989) and its sequel "Batman Returns". He was the first actor to portray the Dark Knight in a serious toned live-action film, donning an all-black suit and equipped with a wide range of arsenal.
MCU: He portrayed Adrian Toomes/Vulture the main antagonist of "Spider-Man Homecoming".
Michelle Pfeiffer
Pfeiffer played the role of Selina Kyle/Catwoman in "Batman Returns". Kyle used to work as a secretary for Max Shreck, who happened to discover the true purpose of Shreck's power plant to drain Gotham of its energy and bring the city under Shreck's control. Shreck pushed her out of a window of his office to silence her, but she survived the fall after being revived by stray cats and vowed revenge, taking up the mantle of Catwoman. Eight of her lives were used up either by falling off a great height or being shot or electrocuted, and yet she had one remaining life by the end of the film.
MCU: She portrays Janet Van Dyne the original Wasp in the upcoming "Ant-Man and the wasp". Janet is the wife of Hank Pym and mother of Hope; in 1987 she sacrificed herself by continuously shrinking to detonate a nuclear warhead and possibly entered the Quantum Realm.
BATMAN FOREVER
Jon Favreau
Favreau portrayed an employee of Wayne Enterprises, walking past Bruce Wyane and Edward Nygma in a very brief scene in "Batman Forver".
MCU: he portrayed Harold "Happy" Hogan, bodyguard and close friend of Tony Stark in all 3 Iron Man films. He was also the director of Iron Man 1 and 2.
Additional role: Favreau played the role of lawyer Franklin "Foggy" Nelson, best friend of Matt Murdock in 2003 "Daredevil".
Tommy Lee Jones
Jones portrayed a campy version of Harvey Dent/Two-Face in "Batman Forever". Dent was the former District Attorney of Gotham City who lost his sanity after half his face was disfigured by acid thrown at him by Boss Maroni. Due to his obession with duality, he earned the nickname "Two-Face", and often uses his two-sided coin to decide the fates of certain victims. In this film, Two-Face was also directly responsible for the deaths of the Flying Graysons, which led to Dick Grayson taking on the mantle of Robin, sidekick of Batman.
MCU: he played the role of Colonel Chester Phillips in "Captain America: The First Avenger". He was initially skeptical about the scrawny and frail Steve Rogers being chosen for the Super Soldier Program. He later became one of the founding members of SHIELD in 1945 after the end of World War II.
THE DARK KNIGHT
Ng Chin Han
Chin Han portrayed Mr Lau, Gotham City's Chinese mob boss and CEO of Lau Security Investments Holdings, a major business in Hong Kong whose success drew the attention of Wayne Enterprises.
MCU: he portrayed the role of Councilman Yen in "Captain America: the Winter Soldier".
Additional role: he also starred as Frank Chen in "Arrow".
David Dastmalchian
Dastmalchian appeared as Thomas Schiff, the fake Guard of Honor who disrupted Loeb's funeral and was later held at gunpoint by Dent. Dent saw Schiff had a name tag which read Rachel Dawes, hence he kidnapped and threatened to shoot him if Schiff wouldn't give up what was going to happen to Rachel. Dent used the coin only to scare a confession from Schiff, but wasn't planning to actually murder him. Batman informed Harvey that Thomas was a paranoid schizophrenic who had served time in Arkham Asylum, and probably couldn't reveal anything.
MCU: he played a close friend of Scott Lang in "Ant-Man" and reprises the role in the upcoming "Ant-Man and the Wasp".
Joshua Harto
Harto portrayed Coleman Reese, an M & A law accountant at Wayne Enterprises who discovered Bruce Wayne's secret of being Batman when he stumbled upon some Batmobile blueprints in Lucius Fox's office, and offered to keep silent for 10 million dollars each year for the rest of his life, but then decided to not speak when Fox reminded him of Bruce Wayne's considerable wealth and influence, as well as his fighting prowess as Batman. Coleman later changed his mind and announced on live television that he pallned to reveal the real identity of Batman on "Gotham Tonight", but The Joker comes by via phone call, threatening to blow up a hospital if Reese wasn't killed within the hour, since the Joker didsn't want Reese to spoil the fun of the battle between himself and Batman. After Reese was saved by Bruce Wayne from being run down by a madman's truck, he gratefully agreed to keep Batman's true identity a secret, and vowed never to speak of it again.
MCU: he portrayed a CAOC Analyst in Iron Man 1 and Iron Man 3.
