“Christian Bale’s discomfort with his Batman outfit contributed to his portrayal of the Dark Knight, as he was often in a bad mood when wearing it.” 
  
“Director Christopher Nolan personally oversaw every shot during the entire 129-day shoot, as he decided not to use a second unit.” 
  
“Much of Batman’s gear, including his cape and suit, is inspired by real-life military technology.” 
  
“Christian Bale lost his voice three times during filming due to the vocal strain of portraying Batman.”
