00:00Turns out, the reason Christian Bale agreed to play Batman was way more realistic than you'd expect.
00:06What a weirdo, right? Jumping around town at night in a bat outfit.
00:10I'm Batman.
00:11Other people also said, hey, you know if you play Batman, that's it.
00:14You're never going to play anything else again.
00:16And I went, bring it on. Let's see if that happens.
00:19But I don't view it really as, oh, being stopped in the street.
00:23For me it was, ah, I could pay off my house.
00:26That's a huge relief.
00:28So I really appreciate that. I thank Chris Nolan Noend for that.
00:31You know, the experience of actually working with him, of course, and we went on to make, you know, four
00:35films together.
00:36Post-Batman, it got a little bit easier for directors to suggest me and financiers to say, okay, yeah, we'll
00:42take him.
