Warner Brothers was terrified to touch Batman, and pitches for R rated, homeless vigilantes only made things worse. Enter Christopher Nolan. He locked himself in a garage with writer David Goyer to craft a grounded psychological thriller and tell the definitive origin story. Fighting off studio demands to cast comedy actors, Nolan launched a massive search that ended with Christian Bale. Bale gained so much weight for the role that the crew jokingly called him Fatman. Treating his 150 million dollar budget like an indie project, Nolan refused second unit directors, built a massive physical Batcave, and drove a real Batmobile through the streets of Chicago. Shooting action scenes from the criminals perspective made the hero truly terrifying. This critically acclaimed triumph scored an Oscar nomination and changed blockbuster history forever.
