Rumors to the contrary, Michael Keaton wasn't fired by Warner Brothers. Keaton was looking forward to making BATMAN FOREVER. Keaton left on his own because Tim Burton wasn't going to be directing it and Keaton didn't like the direction WB wanted that movie to go in. The cat turned down $25 million bucks and reportedly WB were willing to pay him even more if he had agreed to return.
BTW did you know that Michael Keaton's real name is Michael Douglas? Due to SAG rules he couldn't use his real last name so out of admiration for actress Diane Keaton he chose 'Keaton'
