Legendary actor Michael Keaton has sent a university graduation crowd wild with the two words that ended his commencement speech. 

Keaton delivered his address to the Kent State University graduates in Ohio, US - wrapping up with his iconic movie line "I'm Batman". 

The actor played Bruce Wayne in the 1989 Batman and 1992 Batman Returns films. 

“I’ve got two words that I want you all to remember. They’re very important, and if I leave you with anything, I’m going to leave you with these two words," he told the audience. 

“And those two words are: I’m Batman.” 

Both the crowd and social media were quick to respond, and most were pretty chuffed with the actor's choice of words.

Not everyone was pleased with the speech though:
