Christian Bale has three edges that we mere mortals do not:

a. He had already bulked up in the past, like for American Psycho and Equilibrium. Re-gaining muscle is much easier than gaining it. I can't explain the physiological reasons, but even if there are none you still have the advantage that you know what routine works for you.

b. He was never fat to begin with, and he lost like 50 pounds for a movie he was in a year or two ago. He was like 120 pounds for the role. Going from 120 to 220 when you're normally 6'1" and 180 is much easier than, say, going from 180 to 280.

c. He's a wealthy actor. He can afford all the supplements he wants, the best personal trainers in the world, any equipment he wants, and when he's not acting he has all the time in the world to exercise.

Plus, he's Batman!

(But let's keep that on the down-low. It's supposed to be a secret.)

Man, that movie is gonna be so awesome!
