He was always my favorite Batman and never received his flowers for that role. The casting of Batman Forever was second to none. The script and direction is another story.
That helped broaden my film horizon and I dug into some of his older flicks since that came out in my early teens so while I grew older I was going backwards in his cinematography. I wouldn't have appreciated the Doors as much as I did if it wasn't his portrayal of Jim Morrison also.
He was one of those rare actors who if you knew he was in a film then you knew you wouldn't be wasting your time watching it. An absolute legend. Sad he died relatively young but he most definitely lived a full life from all accounts.
