Val Kilmer, Film Star Who Played Batman and Jim Morrison, Dies at 65

Val Kilmer, a homegrown Hollywood actor who tasted leading-man stardom as Jim Morrison and Batman, but whose protean gifts and elusive personality also made him a high-profile supporting player, died on Tuesday in Los Angeles. He was 65.

The cause was pneumonia, said his daughter, Mercedes Kilmer. Mr. Kilmer was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014 and later recovered, she said.

Rest easy, Madmartigan. His catalogue isn't actually all that deep but lots of memorable performances. Val's characters were cool as shit in pretty much every movie. Even Iceman lol.

Hell yes. One of the coolest actors ever. I was very sad to learn about his passing because he used to be one of my favs.
Iceman and Madmartigan are exactly the reason why he was up there to me.

RIP Mr Kilmer.
