Method acting in major motion pictures has become something of a contentious topic, strangely enough when it particularly comes to Batman films. Many have surmised that Heath Ledger‘s admittedly brilliant performance in The Dark Knight contributed to his deteriorating health and Jared Leto‘s allegedly disruptive and inappropriate antics while making Suicide Squad (a role where he only has about fifteen minutes of screen time) are well-documented. The Batman lead Robert Pattinson even criticized method acting himself, but another Batman actor is very well-known for his use of the method, that being The Dark Knight trilogy star Christian Bale.
