TRIBUTES POURED IN from Hollywood this week after it was announced that Val Kilmer had died at the age of 65. 

The actor starred in numerous blockbusters, including Top Gun, Heat and The Doors. 

Kilmer was also one of several actors to take on the role of Batman, donning the famous suit to play the Caped Crusader in Batman Forever. 

Michael Keaton, Christian Bale, George Clooney and Robert Pattinson are among some of the other actors to have portrayed the superhero over the years. 

But how well do you know the Batman films? We’re not talking about his appearances in the DC Comics universe, we’re talking about the standalone feature films.
