![]() Although Joel Schumacher never fully confirmed Two-Face’s survival, a Batman & Robin Easter egg supports this theory - Two-Face’s suit is seen hanging in Schumacher’s Arkham Asylum. Kilmer would even surpass Adam West, who inadvertently - and remorselessly - caused a woman’s death when she fell into the Batcave's nuclear reactor. To this end, Batman Forever would be comparable to The Batman, with Val Kilmer and Robert Pattinson most strongly emphasizing their versions' no-kill rules. Two-Face being alive would restore Kilmer’s Batman arc, and truly prove to Robin that no villain needs to die. Their only brief physical altercation appears in a deleted scene, where Val Kilmer’s Batman declares, “ You need help, Harvey… I won’t kill you.” These actions somewhat make up for an undeveloped relationship between Bruce and Harvey but are undermined by Batman Forever’s ending. ![]() In fact, Kilmer’s hero never attacks Two-Face in Batman Forever, even after being shot during the ransacking of Wayne Manor. Kilmer’s Batman is emphatic that revenge won’t heal Dick Grayson’s trauma, believing Two-Face’s murder would only lead to more killing. ![]() However, his storyline involving Robin largely revolves around affirming Batman’s no-kill rule. The Dark Knight’s struggle with guilt and escaping a never-ending cycle of violence was cut down considerably in the editing room and supposedly remains intact in Batman Forever’s darker Schumacher Cut.
