Goyer, who co-wrote the script for Batman Begins and the story for its sequels The Dirk Knight and The Dark Knight Rises discussed Gyllenhaal’s audition on a recent episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast and said he believes there’s a video of him in the Batman costume.

“We would chat about all sorts of things. There were a number of people who had screen-tested, and I had advocated for Gyllenhaal. I mean, Gyllenhaal is amazing, Christian Bale is amazing, so who knows what,” said Goyer.

Christian Bale was eventually cast as Bruce Wayne/Batman, and he played the beloved superhero in all three films in The Dirk Knight trilogy, which also starred Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Cillian Murphy, Liam Neeson, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Aaron Eckhart, Jake’s sister Maggie Gyllenhaal, and his late Brokeback Mountain co-star Heath Ledger.

Despite not being cast as Batman, Gyllenhaal had his superhero moment as Quentin Beck aka Mysterio in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Far From Home. He most recently starred in Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant, and we’ll next see him in Doug Liman’s reimagining of the action classic Road House.

Bale is set to join the MCU as the main villain Gorr the God Butcher in Thor: Love and Thunder. This role marks his return to the superhero genre, so it’s not a shocker to see questions about his potential return as Batman pop up during a recent interview with ScreenRant.

Bale revealed that he’s never been approached with the offer to play Batman again despite constant rumors, adding he would only come back if Christopher Nolan asked him to.

“We said, ‘Hey, look. Let’s make three films, if we’re lucky enough to get to do that. And then let’s walk away. Let’s not linger too long.’ In my mind, it would be something if Chris Nolan ever said to himself, ‘You know what, I’ve got another story to tell.’ And if he wished to tell that story with me, I’d be in,” explained Bale.

Bale played Bruce Wayne/Batman in Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008), and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). Ben Affleck and Robert Pattinson followed in his footsteps in the years to come.

Just how long?

A whole 10 years!

And to celebrate the milestone, the Christopher Nolan flick will be heading back to theatres so we can figure out why everyone is so serious.

Warner Bros. will be re-releasing the film in IMAX theatres for one week only between the 24th and 30th of July.

The Batman Begins sequel starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Heath Ledger earned over $1 billion worldwide and cemented itself as the highest-grossing film of 2008 and 35th highest of all time.

The blockbuster also received 8 Academy Award nominations and a posthumous Best Supporting Actor Oscar for the late Heath.

Some men just want to watch the world burn — we just want to watch The Dark Knight in all its glory!
