The Batman fanbase was thrown into a frenzy on Monday when reports came out revealing that DC leadership asked the team behind HBO Max's animated Harley Quinn series to remove a scene in the show where Batman performed oral sex on Catwoman. According to the show's co-creator Justin Halpern, DC's reason behind the decision was that "heroes don't do that."
The news sparked an ongoing conversation among fans about the nature of the Dark Knight's sex life. Now, former Batman actor Val Kilmer has weighed in on the debate on Twitter, though his response about the superhero's decisions in the bedroom seems to be somewhat tentative.
Kilmer's post contains a GIF featuring a moment from the actor's lone Batman movie, 1995's Batman Forever. In the featured scene, the Caped Crusader rendezvouses at the Bat-Signal to discover that Nicole Kidman's Dr. Chase Meridian has ignited Gotham PD's spotlight to have a flirtatious conversation. After some pectoral grazes and a comment about how "chicks love the car," Batman takes off into the night.

"I haven't had that much luck with women," Batman says. "Maybe you just haven't met the right woman," Meridian replies.
While Kilmer's post did not provide a concrete stance, he is the first live-action Batman actor to weigh in on the matter. As for the future of Batman on-screen, the superhero will be played by Robert Pattinson in Matt Reeves' upcoming reimagining The Batman, which is slated to hit theaters in March 2022.
Additionally, both Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck will reprise their roles as Batman in the upcoming solo film The Flash. The production teases that the film will be based on the Flashpoint story and will "restart everything" in the DC cinematic universe, bridging between various characters and timelines. Perhaps, in one of these alternate dimensions, there will be a Batman that goes where no other previous Batman is prepared to go.
