Christian Bale and Robert Downey Jr. almost came face to face in The Dark Knight Trilogy.Per Griffin Schiller on X, a new video has been shared of Robert Downey Jr. speaking to attendees at an American Cinematheque panel. The actor, who may be best known for playing Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, revealed that he actually met with Christopher Nolan to potentially play the villain Scarecrow in Batman Begins. Downey recalled the meeting he had with Nolan, observing that while Nolan “was polite,” it didn’t “really seem like he’s leaning in on this interview.” Downey’s intuition was right, as he didn’t end up getting the part.While Batman Begins didn’t work out, Christopher Nolan would eventually cast Robert Downey Jr. for a role that could very well end up giving the actor his first Academy Award. For his role as Lewis Strauss in the movie, Downey is up for Best Supporting Actor, and many are expecting him to pick up the Oscar. It’s one of many major nominations for Oppenheimer at the Oscars. Ironically enough, both Nolan and Cillian Murphy are also up for Oscars for the same film, two decades after Downey was passed on for a role in Batman Begins.
