Batman's film history wouldn't be the same.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Batman’s history on the big screen would be very different had one casting for Batman Forever been different, and it would have impacted Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight as well. As one of the most popular and successful comic book characters in history, Batman has been adapted to other media for decades.

As Batman Returns was a lot darker than Batman, and after it didn’t perform as well as the studio expected at the box office, Warner Bros. was no longer interested in Tim Burton directing another Batman movie. Joel Schumacher took over as director for the movie that would become Batman Forever, and with him also came a Batman recast, with Val Kilmer replacing Michael Keaton.

How Robin Williams' Riddler Would Have Impacted The Dark Knight If Batman Forever had been received better and with Robin Williams as the Riddler, it’s not outside the realm of possibility that he could have reprised his role in Batman & Robin, supposing that this story still happened. Williams’ performance could have taken Schumacher’s Batman movies in a different direction, one less campy and messy than what Batman & Robin ended up being.
