Christian Bale in Details Magazine May 28th, 2008

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.”

Read the full inter­view here, at men.style.com’s The Gad­about blog.

Thanks Jenny Stein!
