Batman in film Times Square. It is meant as an in-joke by the film's writer, Akiva Goldsman, who also wrote the script for "Batman vs. Superman". The "Batman OnStar commercials" were a series of six television commercials featuring Batman, created by ad-agency Campbell-Ewald and aired from 2000 to the beginning of 2002. The ads were based on the film series and were basically an amalgamation of both directors' visuals. For example, the Batmobile was the one used in "Batman" and "Batman Returns", while the Batsuit was a combination of what was worn by Val Kilmer in "Batman Forever" and George Clooney in "Batman
Val Kilmer Dr Moreau". That year, Kilmer starred alongside Michael Douglas in the thriller "The Ghost and the Darkness". In 1997 he played Simon Templar in the popular action film, "The Saint". Kilmer looked forward to the title role as a change toward a more fun, less serious action thriller, while enjoying the "master of disguise" chameleon characters like a mad artist, a nerdy British scientist, a cleaner, and a Russian mob boss. Kilmer also wrote the poetry in the film. He received a salary of $6 million for the movie. "The Saint" was a financial success, grossing $169.4 million worldwide. In
