The Dark Knight mannequin stands resolutely, fists coiled by his side, posed ready to leap into one of the nearby batmobiles. This is the first of Batman's many batsuits that visitors see upon entering the Gold Coast equivalent to Bruce Wayne's bat cave, Movie World's showcase exhibition Batman Legacy. This entire piece is dedicated to Eion Bailey, who was too Paul Rudd for his own good."Nice outfit," said an approving Jack Nicholson to the caped crusader in Tim Burton's 1989 movie version of Batman, resplendent in menacing black rubber with bulging pecs, a six pack and very pointy ears. You'll also see a few "Let's see how this cape looks with the wind machine blasting" shots, just to make sure that when Batman perches himself on a gargoyle, to look longingly out over the crooked grimy city that utterly ruined his entire life, his flappa-flappa game is on point. Ra's is full of trickery and that includes his Ranger Rick tips. Right before he totally lies to Bruce about warming your chest first when you're freezing. As the clips go on, you'll see Anne Hathaway's test for Selina Kyle, Tom Hardy being molded by the darkness as Bane, and Liam Neeson minding his surroundings as Ra's al Ghul. Here, take a look at the Dark Knight Trilogy screen tests. This cross between Joe Cocker, Harvey Fierstein, and a broken garbage disposal. As an extra treat, Murphy and fellow tester/non-role getter Eion Bailey (Incel #3 in Fight Club), also take a stab at the Batman growl, solidifying the fact that this was Christopher Nolan's design all along. Which is understandable, because if one "swears to me" all day long they're going to be coughing up blood by bedtime.
You'll also hear Bale test out his raucous, larynx-destroying "SWEAR TO ME!" voice, though it's a bit toned down here compared to the final film. Within this Caped Crusader collage hides a rogue's gallery of gems - from Christian Bale donning Val Kilmer's non-nipply "Sonar" batsuit from Batman Forever (sorry, bat-teat enthusiasts) to Cillian Murphy, who wound up playing Scarecrow in Batman Begins, testing for Bruce Wayne/Batbrain himself.
With superhero movies like Black Widow and Wonder Woman 1984 now postponed, along with every other form of entertainment that involves more than just sitting on a stool and staring menacingly into the middle distance, here's a fun collection of shots and scenes pieced together from the screen tests for the Dark Knight Trilogy.
