" goyer stated that while some actors could play a great bruce wayne or a great batman, bale could portray both radically different personalities. bale described the part as playing four characters : the raging batman persona ; the shallow playboy facade bruce uses to ward off suspicion ; the vengeful young man ; and the older, angrier bruce who is discovering his purpose in life. bale's dislike of his costume, which heated up regularly, helped him get into a necessarily foul mood. he said,

night of the murder of bruce's parents and, in this way, shares a special bond with the adult bruce and thus with batman. oldman was nolan's first choice for ra's al ghul, but when chris cooper turned down the part of gordon to spend time with his family nolan decided that it would be refreshing for oldman, who is renowned for his portrayals of villains, to play the role instead. " i embody the themes of the movie which are the values of family, courage and compassion and a sense of right and wrong, good and bad and justice, " oldman said of his character.

of uncontrolled freedom. the joker rejects most authority, but retains his own, using his actions to coerce and consolidate power in himself and convert the masses to his own way of thinking, while eliminating any that oppose him. in the killing joke, the joker is an abused member of the underclass who is driven insane by failings of the social system. the joker rejects material needs, and his first appearance in batman # 1 sees him perpetrate crimes against gotham's wealthiest men and the judge who had sent him to prison. batman is wealthy, yet the joker is able to triumph through his own innovations. ryan lit

@ - @ book writer geoff johns. eric holmes acted as arkham origins'creative director. explaining the decision to develop a prequel, holmes said while the batman of arkham asylum and arkham city was comparable to his comic counterpart — a fully formed, experienced character — arkham origins could explore other aspects of the character ( such as his lack of experience and greater vulnerability ). the game was considered 80 percent complete by january 2013, and wb montreal used the remaining development time to tweak the final product. by april 2013 the developers had decided not to use veteran batman voice actor kevin conroy in the role, preferring a younger voice
