are you talking about Christian Bale?

this has interested me too. In movies like Reign of Fire, Batman he was pretty built....but then in that movie i think you are talking about "The Machinist" he decided he would take the role, and to do that he lost a ton of weight, and probably semi starved himself for the movie...then he is in Batman, and gains back all his weight and muscle. I agree, if you lose that much muscle, you cannot easily regain it so quickly naturally...

But, if he did use gear, so what basically, he won't say most likely, but if he didn't, think of it this way, he would not be as effective a Batman character! So steroids were most likely needed for this role after his previous starvation character.
