Sadly Christian Bale’s time in the cape and cowl has come to an end with the epic conclusion to his Batman trilogy, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, which brought Christopher Nolan’s grand vision to a satisfying and heart-breaking conclusion.
It seems strange to even think that a new Batman has already been cast (in the shape of the controversial Ben Affleck) let alone a time before Christian Bale’s growling, brooding caped crusader graced our screens. With THE DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY Ultimate Box Set to be released in the coming weeks, some of the many special features have started to trickle onto the net. One treat that has popped up online is Bale’s audition tape back before he won the role for BATMAN BEGINS and wowed audiences worldwide with his performance as Bruce Wayne and his alter ego.
The interestingly coincidental part about the audition is that not only is Bale wearing Val Kilmer’s Batsuit, but he films it with none other than Lois Lane herself Amy Adams. You can watch the video below:
THE DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY Ultimate Box Set will be released over here in the UK on 7th October, meanwhile the next cinematic incarnation of Batman will be played by Ben Affleck and arrive on the silver screen from July 2015 in BATMAN VS SUPERMAN.
As always we’ll update you with any more Batman-related news.
