It's been 25 years since Val Kilmer suited up as the Caped Crusader in Joel Schumacher's 1995 blockbuster, Batman Forever.
Kilmer stepped away from the Batman franchise after doing the one film, but we just might see the Tombstone and Top Gun star don the cape and the cowl once again.
On his Instagram page, Kilmer revealed that he'll be taking part in the upcoming DC FanDome event on Aug. 22. Not only that, but Kilmer even hinted at the possibility of wearing the Batsuit for the first time in a quarter century.
You can see Kilmer's post below:
It's safe to say that the nostalgic crowd would love to see Kilmer wear the Batsuit again, but it's anybody's guess if Kilmer is just joking here, or if he's actually serious. . One way or another, we'll find out in 11 days.
Kilmer's teasing of wearing the Batsuit again isn't the only thing that Batman fans will keep an eye on. There have also been multiple reports about the pending announcement of another Batman video game from WB Games Montreal; the studio that developed Batman: Arkham Origins.
At any rate, it promises to be a can't miss and unforgettable event for the DC Universe.
Michael Keaton was the first actor to play Batman in a live action film, doing so in Tim Burton's Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992). When he and Burton left the franchise, the two were replaced by Kilmer and Schumacher, respectively.
Kilmer decided not to reprises his role in the universally panned Batman & Robin (1997), and George Clooney was cast as his replacement.

In a May interview with the New York Times, Kilmer revealed his reason for leaving the franchise. While on set, Kilmer was visited by billionaire Warren Buffet and his grandchildren, and the former was surprised that the kids were more interested in the props and Batmobile than to Batman himself.
That was when Kilmer concluded that anybody could simply put on the Batsuit.
"That’s why it’s so easy to have five or six Batmans," Kilmer said. "It’s not about Batman. There is no Batman."
