That afternoon, the action scenes started filming.
Batman was to interrogate the Joker.
This was a one-sided violent beating scene, something Bale in his Batman armor had been looking forward to.
Martin sat calmly in a chair, just like the clown in front of McDonald's.
Bale walked over step by step, the Batman helmet masking his face, revealing only a chin.
No one could see the face under the mask, all filled with long-awaited anticipation.
Rocket launchers, sponge bodies, Heath Ledger, these terms flashed through Bale's mind, sliding down his nerve endings to his fists.
Black gloves concealed the bulging veins on his fists.
Bale's face hung low; his thoughts today weren't new, from the moment the crew arrived in Atlanta, he had been inspired by Leonardo, a close friend of Martin Davis.
While filming "Gangs of New York," Daniel Day Lewis was a complete jerk in and out of character, and during an action scene, Leonardo accidentally broke Lewis's nose.
