April Fools’ Day might be over, but the jokes keep coming in. Surprisingly, news that Former Batman actor Val Kilmer wants to play a villain alongside Ben Affleck’s Batman is not a joke at all.
Val Kilmer hasn’t been in a serious role for quite some time. It’s no surprise then that he is trying to get back into the DCEU. The Batman Forever star recently reminded audiences that he once played Batman by tweeting out, “It’s important to be yourself. If you can’t be yourself, be Batman.” In a twist of events, he got a reply from a Michael Keaton (except that this wasn’t the Batman actor. This is some other random person). However, Kilmer used the opportunity to pitch “Michael Keaton” an idea where all the former Batman actors showed up in a movie as bad guys alongside Affleck.

While it isn’t the worst idea ever, I can’t imagine that any of the other actors, who still have successful careers, would be keen to do this. Still, he can dream. It would be great to see him in something again.
