"What I see in Christian is the ultimate embodiment of Bruce Wayne. He has exactly the balance of darkness and light that
we were looking for", said Nolan.
Robinov stated, "Now that we've found the best person to play Batman, we are really looking forward to moving ahead with
the rest of our casting, and are excited about the exceptional group we are assembling."
