Zack Snyder says Ben Affleck is the only Batman for him, joking that Christian Bale is “still, like, 5’10.” “I wanted Affleck because, to me, Batman’s a big dude. Affleck’s 6’4”, you know? He’s a legit big dude. When he comes out in costume, he’s scary.”

Ben Affleck recounts his hilarious encounters with past Batman actors "I was buying Halloween costumes for my kids one Tuesday afternoon, and I heard this voice, 'Oi, is that you, Ben?' I looked around and I saw Christian Bale, and the first thing I thought was, 'Christian Bale is British.' He's such a good actor, and he was very friendly." "He gave me some practical advice. He said, 'Make sure they put a zipper in that suit. I did three movies with no zipper in my outfit.' The advice proved quite useful." "I ended up running into Michael Keaton...I also talked to Clooney briefly, whose advice was unrepeatable. It’s just a string of epithets. But that’s George."

Nolan then cast Christian Bale, who actively pursued the part and impressed the studio with his immense dedication to the role, ultimately shaping the definitive Batman of the trilogy. 🎥: Batman Begins (2005)

Christian Bale who normally weighed around 80kg, had to reduce his weight to 54kg for his role in "The Machinist" (2004). He had to increase his weight to play Batman in "Batman Begins" (2005). To increase his weight, He was lifting really heavy weights and just stuffing so much into his mouth. His body was under so much pressure that he could feel it. To fill out his Batman suit, Bale stuffed himself with food and when he was not eating, he was in the gym. His doctor said to him, 'You are going nuts. You have to slow down'." But when he arrived on the set of 'Batman Begins', he was 100kg, well overweight. According to Bale, Nolan had no idea who Bale was when he arrived to the set with his long hair. "When Nolan got close he was like 'Holy f... You look like Grizzly Adams. What's going on?'" Nolan then asked him to get a little leaner. Michael Caine was stunned too, especially after seeing him as a young man in "The Machinist" & "American Psycho". He felt Bale looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Some of the English members in the crew joked, "'Hey Chris, what film are we making here? Fatman?'." ("Bale turns to fatman", Sydney Morning Herald, 2005) P.S: On this day, 21 years ago, Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins" (2005) premiered in Tokyo, Japan.

Mark Wahlberg was in the running to play one of the leads in The Departed, but when he got the call from Scorsese that he would be playing the much smaller role of Dignam instead, he hung up on him. He later accepted the role under one condition: he'd be allowed to improvise his lines and harangue his co-stars - the same ones who got the parts he missed out on.
