admin Christian Bale hopes “The Dark Knight” will be a fitting celebration of the late Heath Ledger’s film career. The 34-year-old Bale talked to details.com about Ledger’s performance.
“[Ledger] was incredibly intense in his performance but incredibly mellow and laid-back. Certainly there was this great anarchistic streak to it—just getting dirtier than anybody’s envisioned the Joker before,” Bale told details.com. Ledger died of an accidental overdose in January.
Bale also talked about his battles with the Batsuit, which made him feel claustrophobic.
I just said to myself, ‘Breathe deeply for a few minutes. Try this out. Don’t run around yelling … trying to pull the whole thing off.’
“I wasn’t going to get it off by myself. It takes three people.”
“The Dark Knight,” which was filmed in Chicago, hits theaters in July.
