He iti noa te mohiotia a Bale i te wa i tohua ai. I mua i tana whakapumautanga i te Hepetema 11, 2003, i te mea i hiahia ia ki te mahi mai i te wa e whakamahere ana a Darren Aronofsky i tana ake whakatikatika kiriata, Eion Bailey, Henry Cavill, Billy Crudup, Hugh Dancy, Jake Gyllenhaal, Joshua Jackson, Heath Ledger, David Boreanaz me Cillian Murphy i hiahia ano hoki ki a ia. I mahi a Amy Adams hei kaipānui kaiwhakaari mo te kaiwhakaari o Bruce Wayne / Batman hei mahi ki te kaiwhakahaere kaiwhakaari. I whakaaro a Bale ko nga kiriata o mua kaore i te whakamahi i te ahuatanga o Batman, i te whakanui i nga kainoho. Hei whakaatu pai i a Batman, i ako a Bale i nga pukapuka whakairoiro me nga whakaahua o te toa nui. Ka mea a Kaiwhakahaere Nolan mo Bale, "Kei a ia tonu te pauna o te pouri me te marama e rapu ana matou". I kii a Goyer ahakoa ka taea e etahi kaiwhakaari te takaro i a Bruce Wayne nui, i a Batman nui ranei, ka taea e Bale te whakaatu i nga tuakiri rereke rereke. I whakaahuatia e Bale te waahanga hei takaro i nga tohu e wha: te ahua o te Batman riri; te mata o te playboy e whakamahia ana e Bruce ki te karo i te whakapae; te taitamariki rapu utu; me te pakeke, te riri o Bruce e kitea ana tona kaupapa i roto i te koiora. I tana whakaaturanga, i mau a Bale i te koti peera (he kore te koti, kua ngaro mo etahi wa) i mau a Val Kilmer mo te Batman Forever o 1995. Ko te koretake o Bale ki tana kakahu, i wera tonu, i awhina i a ia ki te whakauru i te ahua kino. Ka mea ia, "Ko te tikanga kia kaha a Pāpā, ā, ka noho koe hei kararehe i roto i taua kākahu, kia rite ai ki a Pāpā <unk> ehara i te tangata i roto i te kākahu, engari he mea rerekē". I te mea he nui te taumaha i ngaro i a ia hei whakarite mo tana mahi i roto i te Machinist, i utua e Bale tetahi kaiwhakaako whaiaro hei awhina i a ia ki te whiwhi 100 pauna (45 kg) o te uaua i roto i te roanga o...  Pātai: I tonoa a Cillian Murphy ki te tākaro i te āhua o te Arkham Asylum?
