Released in June 1995, Batman Forever was a success at the box office, despite receiving mixed reviews from critics. Kilmer took the role without even knowing who the new director was and without reading the script. ![]() In July 1994, Keaton decided not to return for a third Batman film after 1992's Batman Returns, due to "creative differences." William Baldwin (who previously worked with Schumacher on Flatliners) was reported to be a top contender, though just days after Keaton dropped out, Kilmer was cast. Schumacher felt him to be perfect for Batman, though at the time, the role was still Michael Keaton's. ![]() In December 1993, Batman Forever director Joel Schumacher had seen Tombstone and was most impressed with Kilmer's performance.
