Actors Quote by Aaron Eckhart
![“Chris [Nolan] comes at this with such a different take on Batman, so I didn't feel that I had to be true to any other actor playing this role. Of course, I read the comic books. His relationships with Lt. Gordon and with Batman, with Gotham City, those really helped me the most.” quote by Aaron Eckhart](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f05/aaron-eckhart-11348_actors_chris-nolan-comes-at-this-with-such-a-di_1101980.jpg)
