During the interview, Goyer revealed that he advocated for Jake Gyllenhaal to be cast as Batman over Bale, who played the Caped Crusader in Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises. Despite some varying opinions about his voice, Bale’s portrayal of Batman became an instant fan-favorite. “Bale is amazing,” Goyer said of the actor’s performance as a complex character with dueling personas.Goyer also remembered the head of Warner Bros. personally asking him to write the Riddler as a villain in The Dark Knight Rises, and pitched that Leonardo DiCaprio play the character. “After The Dark Knight, the head of Warner Bros. at the premiere said, ‘You got to do the Riddler. Leo as the Riddler. You got to tell Chris, Leo as the Riddler.’ And that’s not the way we work.” Goyer revealed that he and Nolan never picked the villains of the story first. Instead, they would figure out the story of Batman for each film and pick the villains who match that story. Goyer and Nolan ended up choosing Bane (Tom Hardy) to be Batman’s villain in The Dark Knight Rises, challenging Batman’s age and deteriorating physicality.RELATED: The Dark Knight Rises’ Big Robin Twist Could Have Worked – With One Major Change
