Christian Bale gushes about the new Batman movie
Coming back for his final sequel in Batman’s rubber suit in The Dark Knight Rises, one of the year’s most highly anticipated movies, Christian Bale says it’s a bittersweet experience saying goodbye to the character. Bale is married to Sandra Blazic, a former model and makeup artist and the couple are raising their daughter Emmeline, 7, in Los Angeles. Bale actively supports Greenpeace and the World Wildlife Fund.
Q: How is it being in the most anticipated movie of the year? How much pressure is it for you?
CB: Well, I feel that as actors, we’ve done our work. The pressure is on Chris Nolan. But I have to say, I always approach every movie as if no one is ever going to see it, (laughs). It’s better because you don’t get self-conscious about it, and think about things like, ‘What are people going to think?’ I usually just go, ‘I don’t think anyone is going to see it, so do what you think is right and what you think is right for other people.’
Q: What about the physical undertaking of making this movie? Going around the world and just the scope of it all for you?
CB: I’m not accustomed to, other than the two movies that we’ve done, by far the longest schedules between movies that we’ve ever done, and I think everyone appreciates the certain amount of momentum. I mean, when you are in one place for too long, you start to have to re-invent things unnecessarily, so it’s nice. It’s nice to mix it up, go to different places and then it becomes an adventure. And you can re-invigorate yourself, with each new location.
Q: Was there a favourite place for you during the filming?
CB: I want to say that one of the places where everyone else would have said was a complete hell hole, was India. When we started the film, we did a couple of days in Jodhpur, and the locals thought we were fu**ing nuts. (laughter) We were out in 120 degree heat, and we would be walking back into this one room where we had air conditioning and go “Ah!” it was like putting your head in a freezer. It was 90 degrees in that room, just to show you how hot it was. I thought it was a great kind of induction by fire, into that whole thing. And of people, we were just having the most ridiculous conversations because of heat exposure by the end of each day. But it was a nice kind of bonding moment, it was very memorable.
Q: At this point, what do you expect the legacy of the Batman series to be? And personally, what do you want to leave with the audience?
CB: For me, time will tell with that. And for myself as well, I feel like you sit back and digest it. You watch it with new eyes for the first time, you watch it a few times and then you get that answer in a few years time. For myself, when you are inside a project, you cannot see the wood for the trees.
Q: Is Chris the kind of director you want to do future projects with?
CB: Yeah, absolutely, of course, yes.


Q: You mentioned that you won’t miss the Batman suit.
CB: Well it’s kind of a bittersweet thing. There are certain moments where you are in there you have got a migraine and you are in Saginaw. This is the year that when I landed badly on my back, or I did something and my back didn’t fix itself for a month, it was difficult. I’m used to it fixing after three days, but I’m 38 now, and I was hobbling about in the mornings, bloody hell, so things have changed for me this year. So, it did get exhausting, but the second you start complaining about that, I mean, come on. I can’t whine about that and just need to recognize that there’s this great iconic character that I’m getting to play.
Q: Did you make an improvement from the previous movies, like maybe the suit?
CB: The suit stayed pretty much the same, but just advanced in terms of character, where he’s at and what has he been doing? What has he had to reflect upon? And how long does somebody continue to have this painful episode in their life and continue to direct their lives? And we’ve always said that throughout the saga, who is warning what could go wrong? And so it’s kind of crunch time, how much longer can you do this? How much longer does he let it dominate his life, but can he get out, does he get through it?
Q: Does Batman introduce any new gadgets?
CB: Of course he does. He always has to intro something. And truly, some of the most phenomenal things. You can’t really get away without having Batman not have a new gadget.
Q: The Batman fans are pretty crazy and the Joker is so much more known as a villain than Bane which is such an obscure character. So the question just arises what way you can go, because most people don’t know shit about Batman except for the nerds and they know too much.
CB: You got both and you got a bold actor right here. Tom (Hardy) goes the distance, Tom goes way beyond what most other actors would do. And so be bold and respect Chris in his decisions and be bold and you’ve got a hell of an actor here that has created a phenomenon, a villain that stands by itself.
Q: What was it like reading the script for the first time and what your initial impressions like? What was that like being immersed in this world again?
CB: I’m used to the process because you go to Chris’ house and you sit and read it. And I’m a phenomenally slow reader. And when you that you’ve got the one opportunity to read, I usually read and re-read and re-read, so he couldn’t believe it, I think. Chris kept walking in, thinking, is he asleep? (laughs) We started lunchtime, it got dark, and the family was having dinner. I was still in there with people coming and going, and I was still there (laughs). /Viva Press
原来的采访margo贴在了这里：https://tieba.baidu.com/p/1604569629

第一段也没有什么有意义的话，我就没翻了，只翻译了问答：
-------------------------------
问：出演年度期待值最高的电影是什么感觉？压力大吗？
答：怎么说呢，我觉得作为演员，我们要做的就是做好自己的本职工作。压力都在Nolan身上（笑）。我觉得你自己不去给自己施压，问自己“人们会对这个片怎么看啊”之类的，总是好些的。就像我我总是这么想：“这片肯定没人看，所以做好自己，照顾好别人，就行了。”
--------
问：拍摄这部电影对身体上的要求如何？你们拍摄可是走了很多地方，耗时也很长。
答：我并不习惯这样。相比起之前两部蝙蝠电影，这部是拍摄历时最长的。我觉得每个人都有一个限度吧，就是说，当你在一个地方待了太长时间的话，你就开始做一些完全没必要的再创造。所以其实跑来跑去还是挺好的，去到不同的地方就好像是历险。并且在一个新地方你就可以使自己重新振奋。
--------
问：拍摄时你有没有最喜欢的地方？
答：我会说是一个其他人都会说那是个地狱的地方——印度。我们开拍的时候在Jodhpur拍了几天，当地居民都觉得我们是疯子。（笑）我们在40度高温里拍外景，拍完之后我们回去到一个有冷气开放的屋子里，感觉就是“啊！”好像把头放进冰箱里的感觉，但实际屋里是30度左右。举个例子，外景就有这么热。我觉得这炎热影响了很多，也影响了我们。每天拍摄结束之后我们热得都开始说胡话了，乱聊八聊的。但是这是个很好的时刻，很令人难忘。
---------
问：这么说来，你对这最后一部蝙蝠有何期待？而对你个人来说，你想给观众留下什么？答：对我来说，一切都让时间来述说吧。对我自己而言也是一样。我感觉看什么东西都要讲“消化” 的，比如第一次看个什么东西都是新鲜的，再看几遍的话，可能在几年后又会得到不同的答案。对我自己来说，我亲身经历这部电影的拍摄，算是“身在山中”，有点“不识庐山”之感。
----------
问：Nolan是那种你未来也想与之合作的导演吗？
答：是啊，绝对，当然的，是。
----------
问：你曾说到你不会怀念蝙蝠战袍的。
答：怎么说，这是那种又甜蜜又有点苦涩的情境。比如说，正在saginaw拍戏，突然一阵偏头痛袭来；再比如，今年拍戏时我背部着地摔到了，但是都一个月了还是不见好转，这真是挺让人难受的事。我原来都三天就可以恢复的，但是我现在38岁了，我背疼的早起走路都有点蹒跚，真是，年龄的增长在今年在我身上表现得格外明显。所以说，我也很累了。但是当你开始抱怨这些东西，我是说，干嘛啊。我能演到这么好的角色，没什么可抱怨的。
----------
问：在第三部中技术方面有什么更新吗？比如战袍之类？
答：战袍到真没啥变化，改变都是从角色的角度来说，他所处的地位。还有他这几年来都干了什么？他该反思些什么？还有他要在痛苦中生活多久？这个主题是蝙蝠三部曲一直都在贯穿讨论的。是谁在警示什么方面会出错？时间紧迫，他还能干这个多长时间？他还能被这样的身份主宰自己的生活多长时间？他能否脱身？能否渡过难关？
-----------
问：蝙蝠侠有什么新的玩意儿吗？
答：当然有啦。他每部都得有点新东西什么的。不过真心的，这部里是些超酷的东西。蝙蝠如果没有这些新玩意，观众也不乐意啊。
-----------
问：小丑作为一个反派角色是超有名的，但是贝恩并不起眼。我想问，你们会如何创造这个角色，他角色的走向如何？因为除了那些漫画迷，大多数观众并不怎么知道他。
答：扮演Bane的是一位很强大的演员。Tom演戏很有深度，比很多演员都要走得更深。我尊重nolan的决定，而且我们拥有这样一位强大的演员来创造如此的反派角色，我一百个放心。
-----------
问：在你初读剧本时第一印象是什么？再次回到蝙蝠的世界是什么感觉？
答：我对这一切的过程已经习惯了，就是到nolan家坐下来读剧本。我看剧本看的超慢的。当有一个剧本在手里时，我通常会读一遍，再读一遍，然后再读一遍。Nolan似乎觉得这简直难以置信。Nolan 是那种一直在前进、思考的类型，有时候我都会怀疑他每天睡觉吗？（笑）我们午饭时开始读剧本，看到天黑，然后我和他的家人一起吃晚饭。人家在那边来来去去走走停停转了好几圈了，我就一直在那坐着看剧本（笑）。


很好的采访，翻到“不会怀念蝙蝠战袍”那段有点心酸啊，才38岁，都已经感觉自己老了...以后别老折腾自己了...
