Val Kilmer in Batman Forever
Despite the sharp changes in tone, the four live-action Batman movies from the ’80s/’90s are one story. Kilmer came in after director Tim Burton tired of the series, which meant Michael Keaton fled the coop as well. Joel Schumacher came in as director and the difference was immediately felt: Forever was lighter and more comedic, resulting in a 39% against Batman Returns‘ 81%.
