Val Kilmer Pitches Michael Keaton The Best Batman Idea Ever

Who's your favorite big-screen Batman, and might Ben Affleck be able to mow them down with a hood-mounted Batmobile cannon in The Batman? Could be, if Val Kilmer has his way.
In a surreal and funny Twitter interaction that started with one frequently-used Batman meme and ended with another, Kilmer and a fan whose name is apparently Michael Keaton (and who has the actor as his Twitter profile picture) had a minor disagreement over whether Kilmer or Keaton was the definitive Dark Knight.
Kilmer proposed a compromise:
@RealMikeKeaton @jbarro You're my secret VALentine Batman. I've got a pitch- u, me, Clooney and Bale all do bad guy cameos in the next one and afleck kills us all

...Which we think is actually a pretty fair (and hilarious) solution to the debate.
We'll see if they get their chance in soon enough; Matt Reeves is curently rewriting the script with an eye toward heading into production on The Batman, starring Affleck, J.K. Simmons, and Joe Manganiello, soon.
