  Batman descends from a rooftop. In an attempt to keep CG effects to a minimum, the filmmakers staged the show’s stunts as practically as possible. “We used a Libra head for all of our flying rigs,” Pfister reports. “Chris said, ‘I can always tell when flying sequences have been been shot against greenscreen. Is it possible for us to shoot wire work where we have a real camera up there tracking with a stuntman? Buster Reeves was the stuntman, and we could shoot him practically in a medium shot and not give away that he wasn’t Christian Bale. Steve ‘Creepy’ Crawley created the wire rigs that supported both Buster and the camera, and he did a great job.”
