You know Batman has nipples. Dude, 65 00:03:39,135 --> 00:03:41,895 Speaker 1: he has nipples. How do you think he feeds the children? 66 00:03:42,815 --> 00:03:45,135 Speaker 1: The little bats? So I don't want to hear more bullshit. 67 00:03:45,175 --> 00:03:49,215 Speaker 1: I was the best Batman. It was not the most 68 00:03:49,255 --> 00:03:52,295 Speaker 1: fun shoot because of the suit. It was very painful 69 00:03:52,335 --> 00:03:55,375 Speaker 1: suit and you couldn't move. I was laying on a 70 00:03:55,415 --> 00:03:59,495 Speaker 1: board and Josh Schumacher would direct you with a microphone 71 00:03:59,495 --> 00:04:02,455 Speaker 1: on with the giant speaker and he would go, okay, George, 72 00:04:02,455 --> 00:04:06,735 Speaker 1: and here we go and ready and your parents are dead. 73 00:04:07,175 --> 00:04:11,415 Speaker 1: You have nothing to live for and action.

And 77 00:04:19,615 --> 00:04:22,854 Speaker 1: that was my experiences. I should have realized it was 78 00:04:22,895 --> 00:04:24,415 Speaker 1: not going to be a hit right about that. 79 00:04:24,895 --> 00:04:27,295 Speaker 2: And finally the story nobody asked for, but everyone will 80 00:04:27,295 --> 00:04:30,175 Speaker 2: be happy to hear.

Apparently it took multiple takes, 85 00:04:43,895 --> 00:04:46,975 Speaker 2: because of course it did. So mactors lose weight for roles, 86 00:04:47,135 --> 00:04:50,695 Speaker 2: subiler and accents. Timothy chose violence.
