Jennifer Love Hewitt as Audrey Hepburn. Although who knows how much tape they had to use to keep Love’s boobies in place.

Wouldn’t that make you BatMonkey? Or is that also a clever disguise?

You jest, of course, but in fact Bale looks more like Batman should than any of the other actors who’ve played him. Though I’ll grant that Michael Keaton nailed the crazy eyes behind the cowl.

[I think he did okay.](http://assets.rollingstone.com/assets/images/music/2004/galleries/1978-rolling-stone-covers/rs274-gary-busey-as-buddy-holly-301/22729_lg.jpg) I do agree that the casting for _La Bamba_ was horribly unbelievable.
