Back to 25 years ago, Batman Forever featured a cast that would be hard to imagine today: Tommy Lee Jones, Jim Carrey, Nicole Kidman and Val Kilmer as heroes battling villains. The film was one of the high points of the Batman series. It is popular with a wider audience, and even critics aren't too averse to the jovial batman. Why, then, did the beloved Mr Fang ji-mo leave office after only one term as Bruce Wayne? We talked about it because the director (Joel Schumacher) was uncomfortable with Val Kilmer's fussy attitude. But now let's hear from another person: Val Kilmer himself says he quit his job for the sake of a child.
On the set of Batman Forever, Joel Schumacher and Val Kilmer clashed almost from day one. The director said:
Years later, Schumacher finally dared to tell the truth:
Val Kilmer's famous temper is almost universally recognized in the industry. But over the years, Val Kilmer himself has been relaxed about Schumacher's public complaints, and he has made no apologies, as if he had nothing to do with the on-set squabbles. When asked over The years why he didn't want to continue his work on Batman & Robin, Val Kilmer has always said that he was "forced to give up" because The film's production schedule was already in conflict with his previous contract with The Saint.

"Val Kilmer has been unreasonable and furious with a lot of people, including the assistant director, the cameraman, the costume designer, etc. He's been very rude and unseemly. He's naive beyond imagination."
Years later, Schumacher finally dared to tell the truth:
"Because of the trouble he got into, I was forced to tell him that everyone couldn't take it anymore. And then he stopped talking to me for two weeks because of it! That was good!"
