Time flies, indeed! Chris O'Donnell took a trip down memory lane by sharing a rare Instagram post to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the premiere of Batman Forever on June 11. The 54-year-old actor captioned a throwback photo of himself with costars Val Kilmer, Nicole Kidman, and Jim Carrey, as well as director Joel Schumacher, writing, "Cannot believe it's been 30 years since the premiere of Batman Forever, wow, time flies."

The image features the late Val Kilmer, who played Batman, alongside O'Donnell, who portrayed Robin. The film, directed by Joel Schumacher, also starred Jim Carrey as the villainous Riddler, Nicole Kidman as Dr. Chase Meridian, and Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face.

O'Donnell, who reprised his role as Robin in the 1997 film Batman & Robin, expressed his gratitude for being part of the movies while it lasted. "I put my time in, I had a great time doing it, I think the first go-round was fantastic," he said in an interview.

The actor will next appear in the lead role in the upcoming ABC television series 9-1-1: Nashville, playing Capt. Don Sharpe.

Jim Carrey paid tribute to the late Val Kilmer, saying, "I'm remembering Val Kilmer today with great admiration for him as a man and as a generational talent who left us an enviable legacy of indelible acting performances." Kilmer passed away in April at the age of 65.
