Bale got the Batman\Bruce Wayne acting right! Murphy got the Batman voice! Bailey got the Bruce Wayne and Batman face (just like the comics and games) If there was an actor got them all just like Ben Affleck but with better writting, we'll be happy! Like William Dafoe, he is a live-action\comic Joker we haven't seen yet! '_'
@@GNplayer1 Yeah I think Dafoe is the perfect actor for Joker but i don't understand it that nobody in the Warner Studios had an idea for a movie with him.
@@punchforpound2808 Dude she is absolutely terrible. The only bad thing about a near perfect movie. She just can't act - I don't even know how she got the part. Seriously, basically ANY actress can do a better job. You know when like EVERY line feels forced?
That suit must have been hot as hell, you can see sweat dripping down the neck of the cowl at the beginning! Very interesting to see these screen tests all these years later!
I like how that second guy looks in the costume. Great batman. Looks good as Bruce too. But I don't like how he sounds in the office. Cillian is great but definitely not meant for batman
I wonder why everyone auditions in the Val Kilmer batsuit? Robert Pattinson did as well. I wonder if Ben Affleck did? And how do they fit in it, wouldn’t it be made to fit just Val Kilmer’s body?
Very cool but it was funny to see Christian Bale in another Batman's suit. I understand them not having theirs ready since they had to cast THEIR Batman (both to include in the cast and making a plaster statue to sculpt something in their actor's size) but it's still funny :)
Screen test: *Goerge Clooney quirkiness* Actual movie: YOU WANNA KNOW HOW I GOT THESE SCARS? A PUZZLING QUESTION TO THE UNINITIATED BUT I.. AM BATMAN! SWEART TO ME!
Dzumeister yeah, but that slight smile he had as he was discussing Joe Chill makes me think it wouldn’t be a good fit. But then again, it’s just one line
Cillian Murphy doesn't even come close to being a credible Batman, or Bruce Wayne. I don't know how he even made it that far into the process. He was pretty good as Scarecrow though.
Kirsty he’s in nearly every Christopher Nolan film. He was also a good guy in 28 Days Later and I’m pretty sure there’s others where he’s not a villain.
his Batman voice really had the traditional Kevin Conroy edge though. I think he could've definitely pulled off Batman, not sure about Bruce Wayne though. then again this was just a screentest, it's very often the actors act differently in movies then their screen test performance
I respectfully disagree. He is a good actor, but he is smaller than Bale. He looks like a big toddler - a bit creepy, but not fearsome. I see why they use a lot of bottom foreshortenings with him.
0:48 I believe the "Swear to me!" interpretation from Bale got him the job. You got the extremely suppressed anger layer that the others lacked and Bale expressed perfectly.
I think it's just the whole Batman persona voice really. He's got the whispery, mysterious growl when wearing the cowl, while the others are basically using their normal voice.
@@legendver2 Before Bale when was Batman's voice ever whispery and mysterious? Arguably the most iconic iteration of it is Conroy's and that's not whispery at all, it's actually extremely clear and authoritative.
@@Nefariousbig the point is both Keaton's and Conroy's voices for Bruce and Batman were clearly different. Bale carried that same distinction, they just all have different ways of making Batman's voice distinct from Bruce's. The other actors are basically talking like Bruce in a mask, and not as Batman.
Mr. Movie Mafia Not the beginning of the movie, but likely the mid part where he’s in the Pit. I believe they shot those scenes first. Then Bale probably shaved it down to the goatee for the beginning scenes, then went clean shaven for the rest of the time.
Let me get this... The guy who was cast as the Scarecrow, was first proposed to be Bruce Wayne/Batman? Everyday you learn a lot of new stuff... Fun never stops.
He was still big from being in brosnan(I’m pretty sure that’s what it was called) he shaved his head for that too. He pretty much kept his body the same from that one
Benjamin Bertrand Yes, finally someone who gets it! As good as an actor as Cillian is his pale skin helps to accentuate his pink lips which give off that vibe. It’s all wrong for Batman. Even if he gained weight his eyes would still give off a creepy vibe not quite a dark one.
@@johnniecinco6698 Which, TBH, is an argument I'm surprised more people don't bring up with Keaton's Bruce Wayne, who is the only person in Gotham with those lips...... ( -^^- )
Bale : SWEAR TO ME

He seemed a bit sad, like a jealous boyfriend. *looks for a second then gulps* *voice break* “who was with falcone at the docks?.....”

Weird to know that the sacrecrow initially aimed for batman's place
Thats why he got mad :D
would ve been one ugly looking batman
More like unusual looking
@@lrmcatspaw1 he got mad?
That's why he landed the role
I love how Dent could probably be made just using practical makeup and not cgi, that burned hair and neck looks amazing
They wanted it to take away from his face which wouldn't have been possible with prosthetics
@@Hxlmes1919 Surgery would work.
@@Hxlmes1919 that or it would of taken longer to apply the makeup to his face so they just used CGI instead.
Knowing Nolan's approach, he'd probably wanted to burn Ekhart for real
The way Bale laughed as Bruce, I would have given him the role on the spot.
The way Cillian acted Bruce, I would have given him scarecrow on the spot!
yss that smile was really ❤❤❤
Christopher Nolan's choice of actors for each role in this triology was too perfect. Christian Bale will always be our DARK KNIGHT🖤
If only they didn't replace Katie Holmes with Maggie.
@@emreevo8Katie Holmes left the franchise. They didn’t fire her.
How could the DCEU fail that hard after this masterpiece of a trilogy?? HOW? Such high standard to aim to...
Because they hired bad directors (Snyder, Ayer etc...) Nolan is talented director and one of the best working directors today. I trust Matt Reeves will give us awesome Batman.
@@memenene7675 the scripts also were shit... i guess Nolan is also a writer, so that there's it.
@@memenene7675 ayer is a good director the script sucked balls.
Geoff john ruined everything
Oh geez… Hearing Amy Adams’ voice in this made me realize how great she would have been as Rachel
*Christian Bale:* _" SWEAR TO ME ! "_
*Eion Bailey:* _" sWeAr tO mE ?!!!? "_
Hearing someone else say "Swear to me!" Is hilarious 😂
Pause at 3:02, Batman and Catwoman smiling at each other is a wholesome shot ..............
The greatest thing about this is the fact that Amy Adams was in this test with Bale
man, Bale nailed it right from the start. None of the others had a chance, Nolan got it.
And, unpopular opinion: his TDK/TDKR look dope.
This screen test was better than the entire Suicide Squad
Each actor in Nolans movies depicts my favorite version of that character.
only after seeing others' take on Batman, you realize that it's not easy portraying this character, like, it could go so wrong in so many ways -- you don't wanna make a joke out of him

Anne Hathaway's test screening makes me REALLY wanna see a a bearded batman in live-action
2:28 She can keep her emotion straight looking at Batman with a beard. Professional
1:45 that was awful😂 i would have immediately started laughing
Bale got the Batman\Bruce Wayne acting right!
Murphy got the Batman voice!
Bailey got the Bruce Wayne and Batman face (just like the comics and games)
If there was an actor got them all just like Ben Affleck but with better writting, we'll be happy!

That suit must have been hot as hell, you can see sweat dripping down the neck of the cowl at the beginning! Very interesting to see these screen tests all these years later!
Bailey’s ”swear to me” hurt me
1:11 I'm sorry Cillian but that face! Looks like a real "duuh what?" moment, omg.
Christian Bale's voice is better in the audition than in the movies.
0:58 he was like yeah I got the role
Bale actually made the Batman Forever suit look good lol
They took out the part where Anne Hathaway auditioned for Bat Man.
The lack of sound in between is irritating but it’s still worth it
i didn't know Vin Diesel was in the screen test
Cilian Murphy was pretty good.
I mean damn good.
Thank you lord Nolan for this trilogy
Tom Hardy's Bane looking like he survived Mortal Kombat
Idk how he does it, but Bale was able to make that cringe dialogue into an extremely convincing performance
Eion bailey would have been an amazing bruce wayne. Even his chin is perfect for batman. But god that voice
Why didn’t anyone tell him to change his voice while the screen test. Actually I Don't know how screen tests work. Don't they receive directions?
@@sajidmahmud1601 i don't think they do.
@@benjaminlundback8394 Too bad. Then again we got Bale, so can't complain.
The “I serve justice” line should’ve been in the film.
Anne Hathaway + Catwoman = Me locking myself into a room for a good long while
Christian Bale=Angry Batman, Cillian Murph=Psychotic Batman, Eion Bailey=polite batman
yep, Bales "swear to me" sealed it.
Cillian Murphy. He even tried for Leo's role in inception. Looks like getting that was going to be his 'dream' role.
Batman Begins went from test screening Amy Adams to Katie Holmes in the final. Wild.
3:03 Bale smiling like he's the cat that got the cream. :)
I like how that second guy looks in the costume. Great batman. Looks good as Bruce too. But I don't like how he sounds in the office. Cillian is great but definitely not meant for batman
Did you notice that Christian Bale wore Val Kilmer's bat suit for his casting? It's BATMAN FOREVER's Bat suit repainted in black!
I noticed a slight Adam West inflection in Christian Bale's screen test... very light, on passing
Bale looks so good in the Keaton batsuit.
The half burned face up to 2faces back head looks so real
eion bailey gives off a lazy bruce wayne and batman vibes @1:52 but his jaw does capture the aggression of batman
Eion Bailey actually seemed like he could’ve been a pretty good bruce wayne, can’t say the same about batman tho
Honestly Hardy looked massive in the test footage. Obviously slimed down during filming as it’s hard to maintain size.
1:02 Cillian's Batman here looks FANTASTIC. As Bruce he needs to hit the gym and Bulk up.
2:20 Bat bearded 👍🏻
They are all extremely talented actors but goodness aren't they all really, really good looking movie stars. Anne Hathaway.. gorgeous.
Eion Bailley in the "swear to me scene was horrible" scarred me for life 😅
Personally this is still my favorite Batman costume in a live action movie.
Cillian Murphy’s Bruce Wayne gives me Anakin Skywalker vibes
It seems all 3 actors had at least one thing for a good batman. Bailey has the chin and jaw. Cillian has the voice and bale has the physique.
Wow, Two Face‘s makeup was actually pretty amazing.
They should've just cast Hollywood's manliest man Jesse Eisenberg in every role. Catwoman included.
Batman still needs Christian Bale 😢😢😢
1:41 was pretty trash lol
They made all the right choices.
Can’t imagine anyone but C Bale.
I wish that they had made a Batman 4 with Bale and Nolan. Introduce the Riddled to bring back the BAT
Everybody’s gangster til Tom Hardy walks in
anyone else thinks the Sonar suit looks alot better then what we got in the nolan trilogy... i'd have preferred the sonar suit
Eion got the perfect chin.
Cillian's voice is way better omg
Holy shit he got Val Kilmer's suit, freaking sick!!
I wonder why everyone auditions in the Val Kilmer batsuit? Robert Pattinson did as well. I wonder if Ben Affleck did? And how do they fit in it, wouldn’t it be made to fit just Val Kilmer’s body?

Aaron Eckhart's Two-Face is under-appreciated imo
1:31 this guy looks like Henry Cavill , 1:49 dammmmn
Test 1- Christian Bale: I'M BATMAN
Test 2- Cillian Murphy: I'm Val Kilmer's Batman
Test 3- Eion Bailey: I'm not Batman
Bale: Batman
Murphy: Batman with a hint of Ted Bundy
Bailey: Buzz Lightyear
Bale: Batman
Murphy: Bruce Wayne's new young butler as Batman
Bailey: Bruce Wayne's agent as Batman
Eion Bailey must've thought this was going to be a Batman in the vein of Joel Schumacher's.
this made me laugh way more than it should’ve
He did have that strong double chin tho
Cillian Murphy’s Batman voice was good but his Bruce Wayne seemed a little serial killer-esque
Bruce Wayne is messed up enough to dress up like a bat, so serial killer isn’t too far away for him
Looks like young Kilmer in the cowl.
Dzumeister yeah, but that slight smile he had as he was discussing Joe Chill makes me think it wouldn’t be a good fit. But then again, it’s just one line

Was it Bruce or Batman that was playing "Good Cop", when he asked: "Doughnut?"
Cilian Murphy was playing Bruce “School Shooter” Wayne

Tom hardy Completely transformed for this movie.. You can't even tell it's him.
I didn't even know it was him for years
That's cuz he's wearing a mask.
And because at the time I was pretty young and didn't know who he was

I dont think the first one was Hardy i think the first one was the stand in. for height
I feel like the screen tests from this trilogy are more fascinating than any other I’ve seen.
Agreed.
Maybe because they are more rare.
Other than the iron Man screen test with rdj, I agree 👍
How does this footage even get out into the public? Fascinating.
Fun fact: That's Amy Adams standing in for Rachel.
P. S. They are all wearing the Kilmer suit.
It's really weird. I almost felt like I saw Val in the suit while each delivered the lines.
