We are starting off with our own different characters and our own laws and everything, looking at Bruce Wayne and how he came to be the person that he was and how he comes to be this man that jumps around in the Bat suit.

CHRISTIAN BALEWorking out is incredibly boring. I swear it’s true that the bigger your muscles get, the fewer brain cells you have.
CHRISTIAN BALEThere are occasions when I’ve pretended to be in a firefight, and then there are people who have really been in a firefight. Clearly it’s absolutely ridiculous, and even disrespectful, to suggest that I understand what that is.
CHRISTIAN BALEWe were incredibly fortunate to get to make three Batman films. That’s enough. Let’s not get greedy. It’s a torch that should be handed from one actor to another. So I enjoy looking forward to what somebody else will come up with.
CHRISTIAN BALEIf everyone really knew what a jerk I am in real life, I wouldn’t be so adored in the slightest.
CHRISTIAN BALEAll I’ve ever ended up with in terms of achievements is the movie, some really stupid anecdotes, a bunch of crosswords that I didn’t finish and maybe some old bicycle that I found lying around on set.
CHRISTIAN BALEIt’s about pursuing it rather than waiting to see what comes along. That’s partly because I found myself getting typecast, as everyone does unless they pursue roles that are very different from what they’ve done before.
CHRISTIAN BALEAll of the muscles were gone, so that was a real tough time of rebuilding all of that. But you have a deadline, you have an obligation. You’ve said that you will commit to this part, and I just can’t live with myself for not really giving it as much as I can.
CHRISTIAN BALEI want to do good work. I want the opportunity to work with good people, and the only way I’m gonna do that is to commit 110% – you get out what you put in.
CHRISTIAN BALEI never, in any city I’ve ever been in, never remember the names of streets. The longest place I ever lived in was for five years and I didn’t know the name of the next street over.
CHRISTIAN BALEI swear, the bigger your muscles get, the duller you are. You become fascinated with carbs and protein and ripped abs and things that are just not interesting at all.
CHRISTIAN BALEBut I learned that there’s a certain character that can be built from embarrassing yourself endlessly. If you can sit happy with embarrassment, there’s not much else that can really get to ya.
CHRISTIAN BALEIt’s tough to make a good movie. I think the bigger the movies are, the worse they are. A lot of big movies make a lot of money and you kind of forget about what they are and they don’t really make you think.
CHRISTIAN BALEI do like taking stuff seriously that a lot of people look at as nonsense. I enjoy the insanity of that. And I like the commitment that is needed for that.
CHRISTIAN BALEIf you’re doing your job properly, you take the risk of feeling slightly foolish and delve in and bring out the emotions.
CHRISTIAN BALEThe art of survival is a story that never ends.
