Christian Bale has been featured on the cover of Details (a men’s magazine on the order of Vogue, for those not in the know). The article features an interview where he talks a little about his role as Batman, and his initial reaction to the Batsuit itself:
“I was standing on the back lot where they were creating the suit, and I had a few minutes to myself, staring up close in the mirror, just thinking, ‘This isn’t going to work. I’m claustrophobic, I can’t breathe, I’m getting a headache already, and this is all going to go very badly.’”
He also comments on Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker:
“He was incredibly intense in his performance but incredibly mellow and laid-back. Certainly there was this great anarchistic streak to it—just getting dirtier than anybody’s envisioned the Joker before. This character has power because he has no limits—absolutely nothing to lose.”
