Screenwriter David S. Goyer dropped some insider information on a new episode of the <\/em>Happy Sad Confused podcast<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Goyer revealed that he vouched for Jake Gyllenhaal as the actor to play Batman in Christopher Nolan’s 2005 film, Batman Begins.<\/em> The role ultimately went to Christian Bale, who kept the role for three films.<\/p>\n

“We would chat about all sorts of things. There were a number of people who had screen-tested, and I had advocated for Gyllenhaal,” said Goyer. “I mean, Gyllenhaal is amazing, Christian Bale is amazing, so who knows what.”<\/p>\n

He added, “I believe there is” when asked if there is footage somewhere of Gyllenhaal auditioning in a Batman costume.<\/p>\n

One other tidbit: Goyer said that an unnamed executive from Warner Bros. wanted Leonardo DiCaprio to play The Riddlerfor the sequel, The Dark Knight.<\/em> But Goyer said, “That’s not the way we work.” The films were made around themes, not villains. <\/p>\n

The 2008 Dark Knight<\/em> starred the late Heath Ledger (Gyllenhaal’s Brokeback Mountain<\/em> costar) as the Joker, He won a posthumous Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. <\/p>\n
