Actor Val Kilmer, who played astronaut Robby Gallagher in the 2000 film "Red Planet," died on Tuesday (April 1, 2025) in Los Angeles of pneumonia. He was 65.
Kilmer is perhaps best known for his roles as Tom "Iceman" Kazansky in "Top Gun" (1986), Jim Morrison in "The Doors" (1991) and Batman in "Batman Forever" (1995). He once compared the Batsuit to the spacesuit he wore in "Red Planet":
Compared with the Batsuit, our spacesuits were a breeze.
The Batsuit was beyond outer space. But in the spacesuit I could move, I could bend my knees, and I could hear what was being said to me. It was very hot inside the suit but somehow that made it all the more easy to believe that I had crash-landed on Mars and had to walk maybe hundreds of miles to find water, or to maybe die there. When your own body is in survival mode, it makes it that much easier to believe.
