Comic Book Movie<\/a> is reporting on the latest interview concerning “The Dark Knight Rises.” This interview, featuring Christian Bale, reveals how Bale came to know the character and how he identifies to him. <\/p>\n

During the interview, conducted by the New York Daily News<\/a>, Bale said he wasn’t a kid who really cared about comic books. “I had never been someone into comic books. it just didn’t interest me. It wasn’t my thing,” he said. What made him come around to Batman was when he read “Batman: Year One” by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli. “Suddenly, I found Batman had so many issues,” he said. “[H]e’s not a healthy individual, this is somebody that is doing good, but he’s right on the verge of doing bad. He’s got that killer within him that he’s desperately not trying to let off his leash. And that’s what I always return to.”<\/p>\n

You can read the rest of the interview at the New York Daily News.<\/a> <\/p>\n

“The Dark Knight Rises” stars Bale as Batman, who fights Bane (Tom Hardy), a terrorist who has a constant stream of pain medicine coming to him through his mask. “The Dark Knight Rises” will be in theaters July 20.<\/p>\n
