Kim Basinger

Cast as Batman’s love interest, Vicky Vale, in the 1989 film, she went on to win an Oscar for this film. She went through a very public and bitter break-up with this actor, who stars on this popular TV series.

Danny DeVito

Cast as Batman’s nemesis, Penguin, in the second "Batman" film in 1992, DeVito now stars in this critically acclaimed series on FX. He has been married to this actress for almost 30 years.

Michelle Pfeiffer

She was the original Catwoman in the “Batman” film series, long before another actress was critically panned for this big-budget film. Watch clips of Michelle from “Batman Returns.”

Val Kilmer

The Caped Crusader torch was passed to this actor for this "Batman" film in 1995. It was his only “Batman” film. He’s often remembered for his eerie resemblance to the real-life musician profiled in this film.

Tommy Lee Jones

Cast as Two-Facein the 1995 film, the role was originated by this actor in the 1989 film, though his true nature was never revealed. Watch clips of Tommy as Two-Face.

Chris O’Donnell

Cast as Robin in “Batman Forever”, he reprised the role in the next "Batman" film as well. He currently stars in this TV series. Watch clips of him as Robin.

Jim Carrey

His career was just starting to explode when he was cast as the Riddler in “Batman Forever”. Just a few years later he won the Golden Globe for Best Actor for this film. Watch clips of Carrey as the Riddler.

George Clooney

He donned the cape in “Batman & Robin,” the 1997 film from the franchise. He’s a bit more famous these days for having held this title, and for being a sworn bachelor. Watch clips of him in “Batman & Robin.”

Uma Thurman

Cast in the role of Poison Ivy for “Batman & Robin,” she went on to star in this cult flick by this director. Watch clips of her as Poison Ivy.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Long before this role in the public eye, he was cast as Mr. Freeze in “Batman & Robin”. He went on to star in this sequel to one of his most popular movies. Watch clips of him as Mr. Freeze.

Christian Bale

The latest to put on the cape, he has appeared in “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight”. He’s set to return in the new Batman film, with street cred from just winning an Oscar for his role in this film.

Katie Holmes

Yes, she did actually have a successful acting career before becoming Mrs. Tom Cruise. Makes you wonder why she didn’t return to the role; this actress replaced her in “The Dark Knight.”

Heath Ledger

Cast as the Joker in “The Dark Knight”, Ledger received some of the best reviews of his career since this film. It was a tragedy when he died shortly before the film was released. Watch clips of him in the role.
