Recently, there's been a lot of chatter about a "#SchumacherCut" of Batman Forever, especially when it was rconfirmed that entire subplots were left on the cutting room floor way back in 1995. 

While we've heard conflicting reports about whether assembling some sort of director's cut is possible (especially in the wake of filmmaker Joel Schumacher's death), fuel has been added to the fire thanks to the addition of Batman Forever star Val Kilmer to the upcoming DC FanDome event. 

We have no idea what he'll be getting up to at the virtual show, though Kilmer has teased fans on social media by saying, "Friends at Warner Bros. asked if I'd like to be a part of DC FanDome and I asked if it meant putting on the ol' bat suit. They said it's optional. Hmmm."

While he obviously won't be reprising the role (Michael Keaton is in talks to return as the Caped Crusader in The Flash), it definitely feels like there's a purpose to Kilmer being at DC FanDome.

What do you guys think?

Gonna assume this is for a Schumacher tribute panel. Hope Val is healthy, I know he has trouble speaking now after his battle with throat cancer.

Now that we are 5 (about to be 6) Cinematic Batmen in...

Val in that Batsuit is still my favorite aesthetically looking of all the bat suits IMO.

Hoping for an extended Batman Forever cut. That film is an underrated gem for me.

He could've been the GOAT Batman if given the right material. His presence as Bruce and Batman was great.
