    Cillian Murphy’s Batman voice was good but his Bruce Wayne seemed a little serial killer-esque

      Bruce Wayne is messed up enough to dress up like a bat, so serial killer isn’t too far away for him

      Cillian Murphy doesn't even come close to being a credible Batman, or Bruce Wayne. I don't know how he even made it that far into the process. He was pretty good as Scarecrow though.

      Kirsty he’s in nearly every Christopher Nolan film. He was also a good guy in 28 Days Later and I’m pretty sure there’s others where he’s not a villain.

      Mr. Movie Mafia Not the beginning of the movie, but likely the mid part where he’s in the Pit. I believe they shot those scenes first. Then Bale probably shaved it down to the goatee for the beginning scenes, then went clean shaven for the rest of the time.

That scene would have worked just as well with pretty much anyone in the suit. The problem is Affleck has a weird shaped body. He's got a huge torso with short, stubby T-Rex arms and a melon head.
