Val Kilmer's portrayal of Batman in Batman Forever is now increasingly appreciated by fans for his iconic quotes and vocal range.

Actor Val Kilmer, best-known for his roles in “Batman Forever” and “The Doors,” died in Los Angeles at the age of 65, the New York Times reported late on Tuesday.

Val Kilmer played Batman once in 'Batman forever' before the series took a terrible turn with the widely panned 'Batman & Robin'.

Batman Forever, Willow and Heat helped turn Val Kilmer into a beloved film presence and one of the leading men of his generation.

The actor took only one turn in the famous batsuit. That film, “Batman Forever,” couldn’t be a more representative artifact of its era.
