The 'True Romance' actor said: "Actors like Tommy Lee Jones had designed this whole performance, and so had Jim Carrey. Val also lamented that his co-stars Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey were able to act unrestricted by their costumes, while he tried to be like "an actor on a soap opera" in scenes with Nicole Kidman – who played love interest Dr. It was a struggle for me to get a performance past the suit, and it was frustrating until I realised that my role in the film was just to show up and stand where I was told to." "You also can't hear anything and after a while people stop talking to you, it's very isolating. When you're in it, you can barely move and people have to help you stand up and sit down. Val continued: "But whatever boyish excitement I had going in was crushed by the reality of the Batsuit. I took the part without even reading the script."
"By Hollywood standards Batman is the ultimate leading role and a dream come true. Recalling the moment he was offered the part, the 'Willow' star said: "I was in shock and disbelief, mostly because I had just been exploring a remote bat cave. In the new Amazon Prime documentary Val – which tells the story of the actor's life, career and battle with throat cancer – his son Jack narrates the star's experiences on Joel Schumacher's film.
The 61-year-old actor portrayed the Caped Crusader in the 1995 film 'Batman Forever' but hated the way the "ultimate leading role" was affected by the restrictive costume.
