It's mandatory that at least one be set to "Gravity". I'll make it myself if I have to, no matter how many times I throw up while doing so.

He wears a suit of armor. You're not going to see Batman fighting Bane in his underwear.

It does make a difference though. Bale was packing more bulk in BB than he did in TDK, so as Batman he wasn't as intimidating, I felt. Of course, that has a lot to do with the awful TDK suit design, but Bale not being as buff in TDK was still a big factor.

I hope Bale goes back to his BB physique.

He was only big for the training scene, which was shot early in production. He was too fat and lost a lot of that muscle for the rest of the shoot just to fit in the suit. People only notice the difference because Bale shot scenes shirtless with that extra weight during the training montage and the suit in Begins was actually much bigger and heavier, which was a subplot in TDK where Bruce asks for a lighter and more mobile suit.

If you look at the pushups scene in Begins and compare that to his one shirtless scene in TDK, it's pretty much the same.

I dunno. I thought he looked pretty gaunt in TDK, especially on his face. Also, in the few early scenes in TDK in which he wore the BB suit he looked weird. I attribute his weight for that oddity.

btw, could you provide a source for what you said about his weight during the training sequence? I thought he gained too much weight and dropped some of it before shooting began (220 before shooting, 190 when filming began). That's the widely documented tale, anyway.
 
I haven't watched BB in while so my memory is suspect, but basing judgement on those two images the difference in his physique isn't immediately apparent. His posture is different in both pics. It is definitely possible that his weight fluctuated during the lengthy course of filming, but it isn't as dramatic as 220 to 190 from pre-shooting to beginning of shooting.

Point is, he was definitely leaner in TDK. Bale even said so after TDK came out when talking about TDKR. He was dissatisfied with his muscle in TDK. He'll be bigger in TDKR. :)
 
If you look at Bale in the scene where he's stitching himself up in TDK versus that pushup scene, or even where Bale is in a suit at Dent's fundraiser versus the birthday party at his mansion the difference is pretty apparent.

I would like to actually see this fight scene one day. I believe it had intricate choreography and everything, you can see snippets of it in the behind the scenes material of the BB DVD.

I don't think you understand what the term 'fat' means when applied to the human physique.

lol not even remotely close. He was huge in that scene in BB and very lean in that scene in TDK.

Not sure if it's this fight scene, but I heard the choreographer was really happy with the work he did, and fairly upset when he saw how it was edited in the final cut, since most of it is obscured.

Edit: And Bale is absolutely smaller in TDK. Why is this even being debated?

The movie ends with crazy bruce wayne in arkham all wrapped up telling stories about how he used to be a super hero.

An older Batman/Bruce Wayne? Interesting.

Or maybe that is how he arrived in India and will look completely different once they get him into hair and makeup for the shoot.
