Batman Begins - Cast & Crew
Cast:
Bruce Wayne/Batman - Christian Bale
"“I believe that there’s an opportunity with that character to do things that I, personally, have never seen done,” says Bale. “There are choices you can make with such a character. You can go very camp with it, like the TV series, but that’s been done. You can’t outdo Adam West with that kind of deal. So what else do you do? There’s a really interesting character there, and that’s what I’m aiming for.” - Christian Bale
"What I see in Christian is the ultimate embodiment of Bruce Wayne. He has exactly the balance of darkness and light that we were looking for." - Chris Nolan
Alfred Pennyworth, the butler - Michael Caine
- has a three-picture deal
"Instead of just repeating the franchise, they’re trying to make something of it. What they’re doing with Batman is making it as though it’s never been made before. That’s how it is and it’s different."
