Although Nolan had previously cast Bale as Batman in Batman Begins, he did not consider Bale for the part of Borden until Bale contacted him about the script.
Iako je Nolan prije toga Balea angažirao za ulogu Batmana u filmu Batman: Početak, nije ga imao u vidu za ulogu Bordena sve dok ga Bale nije kontaktirao zbog scenarija.
