And as his love interest, it seemed only right that the part of Chase Meridian be played by Nicole Kidman, but as if she were half sloth. So the search was on for a new Dark Knight, and Schumacher decided to dial back the intensity quite a bit, choosing to have Val Kilmer play the part as though he were made entirely of plywood. Keaton took a pass on this one when Burton handed off the franchise to his dark minion, Joel Schumacher. Drink it in.įor 1995's Batman Forever, neither Keaton nor Burton returned. Oh sure, Michael Keaton returned to play the hero, Michelle Pfeiffer looked hot as heck in the Catwoman suit, and Here Be Spoilers favorite Christopher Walken made some bold hair choices, but the real star of the show was DeVito, who chewed scenery with almost as much gusto as he put into trying to make the collective viewing audience throw up in their mouths. Hot on the heels of that money-making juggernaut came Danny DeVito stuffing dead fish into his mouth in 1992's Batman Returns. Throw in Kim Basinger and Jack Palance, nail some old Prince outtakes and a new dance track to it, and you've got yourself a party! An angry public cried out at the selection of Michael Keaton to play everybody's favorite rubber-clad billionaire, but was slightly mollified by the addition of Jack Nicholson as the Joker, and all it cost Warner Brothers was a fuckton of money (which they quickly made back) and top billing. Starting out with 1989's Batman, it is quickly established that "Dark and Moody" was going to be the tone for these films. These aren't the Batman movies you want but they are the Batman movies you deserve.
