NextImg:Nicole Kidman Reveals 1 Cheeky Reason She Wanted To Be In 'Batman Forever'
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Nicole Kidman had one particular reason she signed on for the 1995 superhero movie, “Batman Forever.”

In a new profile for L’Officiel, the star revealed how people raised their eyebrows when she decided to take the role in the campy Joel Schumacher-directed project, in which Val Kilmer played the caped crusader.

To Kidman, it was a no-brainer.

“Everyone’s like, ’Why are you doing that?’ I’m like, ‘Because I get to kiss Batman!’” she told the magazine.

“The thing people don’t understand is, it’s not about the check. A lot of mainstream big blockbusters that I do are hopefully different.”

While the Oscar-winner had a great time playing Batman’s love interest, Dr. Chase Meridian, in the movie, she did once admit the part left her wanting more.

“I remember going, ‘I wish had more of a role, though,’” she told Yahoo Entertainment in 2014. “‘It’s great being the girl in the Batman movie.’ But I’m an actor and you go, ‘Gosh I want more to do.’ So I would still love to do some sort of superhero movie where I get to do the cool stuff.”

Kidman’s wish eventually came true.

After her experience with “Batman Forever,” she dipped her feet back into the superhero genre with a role in the 2018 superhero movie “Aquaman.” She’d end up reprising her role as mermaid warrior Queen Atlanna in the 2023 sequel “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.”
