They recently reissued the remaster versions on PS4. And there's gonna be a new one (KH3) this year.

All you need is a white guy with short black hair, and be reasonably tall and look rich. That's all you need.
i'm sure that's exactly what they were thinking when they cast Clooney.

Of all of the Batmen, he's the one I felt looked the most like a Live Action Bruce Wayne.

So it's a shame that his was less than stellar movie.

George Clooney started going gray when he was like 30. I always thought he was like 10 years older than he was.

Except nowadays he really is almost 60....but he looked old when he was only 30-40.

I am surprised Val Kilmer did not reprise the role. He got another movie role offer and was unavailable? Or is there more to it? He was the best Batman of any to this day. Granted Christian Bale got Bruce Wayne better than anyone(minus the silly for plot Talia seduction that was the script's fault). Also, what about one actor play Batman and another play Batman or would that not work? I just mean on how well one actor did as Batman yet another who has the laughable "bat voice" had the arguably best Bruce Wayne.

I wouldn't know, I've never seen his Batman, but...I'm not as invested in a beefcake Bats as I am in one that actually looks like he'd be lithe enough to move how he's supposed to move.

But you're right, Clooney doesn't really brood so much as he smolders.

when i heard he was cast, i'd really thought appearance-wise he would have made a good Bruce Wayne.
i left the movie theatre in SHOCK.

too skinny? Michael Keaton wasn't exactly Mr. Mr. Olympia.

script writing aside, i feel Christian Bale was the best choice to date.
i believe i'd heard Kilmer was disappointed at the tone of the film, and chose not to reprise the roll.

he chose wisely!

He didn't like the B&R script. Smartest thing he's ever done.

Val Kilmer wasn't called for Batman & Robin. It's in the special features interview (blu Ray), probably on YouTube now.

Stahp!
Goofy, I give you, but Mickey - he is certainly well known, even if only as a mascot.

I only ever knew Mickey and the gang as mascots, I don't think there was any cartoon or movie while I was growing up that featured them and yet they were super iconic to me.

Mickey makes a lot more money than you may think through merchandising.
