Although bale enjoyed his role, he said he thought co-star Anne Hathaway had a ‘less enjoyable’ time during filming. Bale said, “There are a number of people who feel that the Catwoman role has been defined previously. So, I always saw Anne’s role as being the toughest job of any of us.”

“Batman: The Dark Knight Rises” stars Bale and Hathaway, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hardy. The film will be out July 20, 2012.
