When Ben Affleck was cast as Batman in Zack Snyder‘s ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice,’ fans had mixed reactions. This was largely due to the immense popularity of Christian Bale’s portrayal of the iconic character. But why wasn’t Bale chosen for the role in this much-anticipated film?
Snyder’s Insights on Bale’s Batman
During a recent podcast marking the 10th anniversary of the film, Snyder discussed the reasons behind not casting Bale. On the ‘Happy Sad Confused’ podcast, host Josh Horowitz asked Snyder if there was ever a serious conversation about bringing Bale back. Snyder responded, “I think if Bale had stayed, if (‘The Dark Knight Rises’) had ended with Christian Bale standing on a building overlooking Gotham, silhouetted by the lights of Gotham, then there’s, that’s a serious conversation there. If he’s not in Italy, retired, drinking wine and relaxing, if he’s a current crime fighter, then I think those universes could have mixed.”
