Val Edward Kilmer (December 31, 1959 – April 1, 2025) was an American actor. Originally a stage actor, Kilmer became popular in the mid-1980s after a string of appearances in comedy films, starting with Top Secret! (1984), then the cult classic Real Genius (1985), as well as blockbuster action films, including a role in Top Gun and a lead role in Willow. During the 1990s, Kilmer gained critical respect after a series of films that were also commercially successful, including his roles as Jim Morrison in The Doors, Doc Holliday in 1993's Tombstone, Batman in 1995's Batman Forever, Chris Shiherlis in 1995's Heat, and Simon Templar in 1997's The Saint.

BatMan of Earth 27
for BatMan of Earth 27 in DC Cinematic Universe Reboot
Suggested by batmack

A Rebooted Universe of the DC Movies. All of which are more Connected to each other, are more coherent, and are much more fun and accessible than they now current ones. My idea is to have a couple of Origin Stories first. These will include and introduce the Main 7. While also including some sequels to these movies. After their introducing these characters and their worlds, there will also be crossovers stories in a three story vignettes in some of the sequels before a huge team-up movie. This is to get them to know each other before any big crossover. While also having some of the villains know each other before any big team-up. The end of the First Phase will be a big Justice League crossover movie. The second phase will be more sequels while also introducing more heroes and villains. All leading to another Justice League crossover movie. The third phase will be the same thing, although there will be changes to the formula and to the world and to the characters. There will be more sequels and team-up movies basing them on stories like The Death of SuperMan, Tower of Babel, Green Arrow: Super Max, The Crime Syndicate Story, KnightFall, BatMan Perchance to Dream, BatMan: Hush & the FlashPoint Paradox. The end of this phase will finally bring in DarkSeid in a much bigger, much larger Justice League crossover movie.
