Michael Gough had quite a long career; many years before the Batman films, he appeared in a number of British horror films from the 1950s through the 1970s. Off the top of my head:

Horror of Dracula (UK: Dracula)
Horrors of the Black Museum
Konga
Phantom of the Opera (1962)
Dr. Terror's House of Horrors
The Skull
Berserk
Trog
The Legend of Hell House

I'm sure there were many others, but these just popped into my head. The Batman films gave his career quite a shot in the arm when many actors would have already retired.
