Val Kilmer wants to return as Batman and do a HEAT sequel

He asked: “Specifically, we now have multiple universes in comic book movies where actors who've played Batman or Spider-Man in the past team up with the current actor playing the role. Would you have any interest in playing Batman/Bruce Wayne again even in a cameo?"

To which Kilmer responded with a firm: “Yes, please.”

This, of course, sent Twitter users into a frenzy as one person wrote: “I think Val Kilmer is under appreciated at a Batman.”

Another said: “VAL KILMER WAS ACTUALLY THE BEST BATMAN/BRUCE WAYNE EVER CAST AND WE DO NOT GIVE HIM ENOUGH CREDIT FOR THAT.”

While a third person shared: “Val Kilmer will always in my books be the superior Batman.”

However, the nostalgia didn’t stop there, as the journalist also asked Kilmer which one of his iconic films he would like to make a sequel of.

Kilmer said: “HEAT would be fun. I love Michael Mann. We get along great and we have a great deal of trust…”

Heat is a Los Angeles crime drama released in the mid-nineties that follows an LAPD detective Lieutenant Vincent Hanna attempting to hunt down a career criminal.

It's considered one of the most influential films of its genre with a star-studded cast with the likes of Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Jon Voight.

The film was a commercial hit too, accumulating $187 million (AUD $268m or £158m) worldwide at the box office.

Although sequels rarely live up to the hype of the original film, we have to admit getting these A-listers to reunite on the big screen would be an epic cinematic experience.
