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

Charismatic actor Val Kilmer, handsome star of "Top Gun" and "Batman Forever," who played Jim Morrison in "The Doors," has died at age 65.

The key to Val Kilmer’s appeal may lie in the performance he gave in a film many think of as a throwaway, Joel Schumacher’s shiny, intentionally kitschy, and absurdly entertaining Batman Forever, from 1995.
