They actually want to be him, they don't necessarily want to play him in a movie," adds Kilmer, who turned down appearing in another Batman film to star in "The Saint" instead. Kilmer also said that costars Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey had designed such "huge" performances for their characters of Two-Face and The Riddler that he was left thinking "it made no difference what I was doing." "It was a struggle for me to get a performance past the suit … it was frustrating until I realized that my role was to show up and do what I was told to." "You also can't hear anything and after a while, people stop talking to you. But, once he got on set, "whatever boyish excitement I had going in was crushed by the reality of the Batsuit." He explained that you can "barely move" in the costume, which also required other people's help to get him to stand up and sit down. In the doc, Kilmer said he signed onto "Batman Forever" without even reading a script. "I really wanted to be Batman as a child, but the actual, the reality of being on set is quite different." "There was a line in the movie, that I really like, that's like, 'Every boy wants to be Batman, like they actually want to be him, but they don't necessarily want to play him in the movie,'" Jack told TooFab in a recent interview.
