Val Kilmer, who played Bruce Wayne in “Batman Forever,” channeled Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone‘s “The Doors” and starred as a tubercular Doc Holliday in “Tombstone,” has died, The New York Times has confirmed. He was 65. He had been battling throat cancer for several years.

Kilmer was a leading man with a volatile reputation in the ’80s and ’90s, starring in “Top Gun,” “Real Genius,” “Willow,” “Heat,” and “The Saint.” He returned briefly to screens in 2021’s “Top Gun: Maverick” although he could no longer speak due to his cancer.
