[Crook]

That's what I'm thinking too. Obviously he spent more time with TDK to prepare for the role, so my guess is that this is the physique he originally wanted.

I don't think there any certain weight that he "wanted", he's just does whatever he's told. In BB, he was told to bulk up, and that's he did. Turns out it ended up being too much, so that's why he slimmed down.

In a recent interview, he said he hasn't even started working out yet, because he likes to do things at the last-minute. The feeling of being in the clutch pushes him to work harder.

So I'll go with Bale's just waiting it out until the very last second to put on the weight and muscle. Not really liking the idea, since he'd be better off using the months he was free to really perfect every facet of his regime, but if it works for him, then so be it.

Yeah, I'm like that too. If it wasn't for deadlines and pressure, I wouldn't get anything done.
This may be a sign that the film will feature more athleticism by Bale, and he wants to have the least amount of weight on him for that reason. It may be easier for him to jump, fight and stuff when he is lighter.
He could still be strength training, just using the 90% one rep max principal to get as strong as possible without putting a whole lot of bulk on.

 

[Steelsheen]

i'm recalling that interview where Bale refused to answer about the detective skills question, could it be that its beacause that is what Batman will be doing here mostly? detective work and less martial arts stuff? it would explain why Bale doesnt bother to get pumped up as much.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

You can t have Batman just being a detective..hes not Harry Palmer.. he is also a kick ass crime fighter.. the main word there Fighter.

i think thats where the sculpted rubber suit comes in

 

[regwec]

Hacen't we already been told that Batman's new suit will be "slimmer"? Won't the man inside need to be slimmer, too?

 

[Retroman]

^^Good point regwec.

Retro, is it possible to get a direct download link for this and the first press conference?

The video is back up on the site again Steel but the sound is crappy though. And it's streaming file too so you can't save it unfortunately.
