Val Kilmer played the Caped Crusader in Batman Forever (1995). The film was a hit, and Kilmer was supposed to reprise the role of Batman in a sequel. However, he was replaced by George Clooney. While Kilmer claimed a scheduling conflict, others pointed to tensions between him and director Joel Schumacher, who called the actor “childish and impossible.”
