 “We went for trying to make a completely different animal. For me,” said Bale, “it was about becoming this primal demon that allowed [Wayne] to channel all his rage, all his years of dissatisfaction, all into this one beast. With that costume on, I couldn’t help but adopt that bestial, demon-like attitude.” And in case you ever wish you were the one in that bat-suit, Bale assures you that its definitely no picnic. “It’s hot – you sweat like crazy, and you get headaches.” Sounds like a bummer. Don’t be fooled though, Bale had his fare share of fun in this newly revised version of the batsuit. “I had the lightest, most mobile suit out of anyone who played Batman. Another plus,” Bale added, “it had pretty good padding and protection so people could hit me!” And here you probably thought prettyboy Bale had a stunt-double for the when things got rough on-set. The batsuit is not the only “prop”, if you will, that’s taking notice. One of the coolest new additions to the bat-arsenal has to be the new Batmobile. With its tank-like appearance which closely resembles many of our own U.S. military vehicles, it is not that hard to become immersed in the possibility that you could see one of these babies roaring down your street, or parked for display at the Jacob Javitts Center. “They (the engineers) went above and beyond with the creation of it. Having this stealth look to it, and this military appeal,” Bale is convinced that this version of the Batmobile the most “practical” and thus, “the most believable.” And after now knowing that Bale was the man in the suit during many of the film’s fight scenes, in case you have any doubts whether he was the one behind the wheel, Bale quickly added: “Driving it was one hell of a kick!” Up next for Bale is “The New World,” a 17th century saga about British Colonialists and American Indians, due out this later this year. Much like Nolan, director Terrence Malick is painting a much darker picture of the meeting of John Smith (played by Colin Farrell) and Pocahontas (newcomer Q'Orianka Kilcher); lets just say there’s a good chance they won’t be breaking out into song. Bale, playing the role of John Rolfe, described working on this film, as “quite possibly the best acting/movie-making experience that I’ve ever had. He (Malick) works in such an unconventional manner.” Look who’s talking, Mr. Bale! |
