Ok, that wasn’t actually a riddle, and I don’t have an answer for you, but Christian Bale really did wear Val Kilmer’s costume from Batman Forever to audition for Batman Begins. And he did the scene with Amy Adams. You can thank The Dark Knight Trilogy: Ultimate Collector’s Edition blu-ray (on sale tomorrow) for this gem. Joygasm!
