One of the highlights of the interview was when Kilmer talked about playing Batman in the movie franchise. He mentioned that his decision to turn down another Batman movie was difficult, especially because he had to explain it to his daughter who was a big Batman fan.

Kilmer also discussed his role in the movie ‘The Saint’. Although it didn’t go as expected, he revealed that being the voice of Moses in an animated feature made his daughter feel better. He joked that she could still say, “Hi, my dad is Moses,” even though he was no longer Batman.

The conversation then shifted to Kilmer’s experience working with Marlon Brando.

During the conversation, Kilmer addressed rumors about being difficult to work with, saying that most of them were untrue. He shared that it was hard on him and his family to see those rumors in print without having an opportunity to defend himself.

Apart from his acting career, Kilmer discussed his love for Africa and his adventurous expeditions through the wilderness. He shared stories of being surrounded by wild animals, particularly lions, and how he often found himself in dangerous situations. Kilmer revealed that hippos were the most dangerous animals in Africa, as they were responsible for more deaths than any other animal.

In closing, Kilmer talked about his upcoming film, ‘Ghost in the Darkness,’ which is based on a true story.
