The Dark Knight Trilogy was nothing short of amazing, and while director Christopher Nolan's grounded take on Batman and Gotham City wasn't to everyone's liking, it's not hard to see why they're considered among the best comic book movies of all-time.
Now, some previously released screen tests have started doing the rounds again which are an absolute must-see (if you've not already checked them out before now).
The video kicks off with Christian Bale, Cillian Murphy, and Eion Bailey all suited up in Val Kilmer's Batsuit from Batman Forever, which looks surprisingly cool despite being so dated. Keep watching, though, and you'll also see screen tests for Anne Hathaway's Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Tom Hardy's Bane, and Aaron Eckhart's Harvey Dent/Two-Face.
As we mentioned, this has popped up online in the past, but it still makes for fascinating viewing. That's particularly the case for Nolan's grounded version of Catwoman who was seemingly going to have a slightly different look in The Dark Knight Rises at one point.
Ben Affleck took over as the Caped Crusader once Bale was done, but it's now down to Robert Pattinson to take up the mantle in Matt Reeves' The Batman (where Zoe Kravitz will suit up as the new Catwoman). Unfortunately, production on that movie has been put on hold due to COVID-19.
