Val Kilmer’s portrayal of Bruce Wayne and Batman in Batman Forever is a pretty spectacular performance involving both halves of this iconic hero’s psyche.
Nicole Kidman’s Dr. Chase Merdian was the character that proved not only could Bruce Wayne have a girlfriend, but his role as Batman wouldn’t get in the way of that relationship.
What was even more impressive is that the script, written by Lee Batchler, Janet Scott Batchler and Akiva Goldsman, delves into the mind of the man who swore to protect Gotham, and presented him with his greatest challenge yet: finding a girlfriend who could compliment his nocturnal lifestyle of vigilantism.
