Relying mostly on the vast reams of camcorder footage he saved over the course of his life, the movie observes as much as it enters Kilmer’s mind. Yet as good as the doc is, its impressionistic view of the actor’s life tends to leave some of his sardonic musings and general conviviality off the screen. Hence the film must must talk about his time as Bruce Wayne in 1995’s Batman Forever. Melancholic and wistful, the film documents Kilmer’s eclectic career as a rising movie star in the 1980s and ‘90s, and his more recent battle (and victory over) cancer. It’s easy to see why after the premiere of the documentary Val, a new release from Amazon Studios and A24. While the films couldn't be more different, new test footage shows a strange connection.Val Kilmer is back in the public conversation. Nolan created much more grounded and realistic superhero movies, two traits that weren't really present in the Batman anthology from 1989 to 1997. Batman Forever didn't go over as well with fans, but despite the negative reviews, the film managed to get three Oscar nominations. Needless to say, Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy was drastically different from earlier Batman movies. Nolan's trilogy did phenomenally well with most fans and critics, with Batman Begins being nominated for one Oscar and The Dark Knight winning two Oscars and getting six other nominations. Screen test footage from Batman Beginsshows Christian Bale wearing Val Kilmer's Batsuit from Batman Forever. Bale played Bruce Wayne in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, which consists of Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises. Kilmer on the other hand replaced Michael Keaton as Batman for Joel Schumacher's Batman Forever in 1995.
