"I've definitely said no to some of the wrong people. I said no because I was tired and wanted to spend more time with my friends and family. That's frowned upon in this industry. People don't like being told no," he told the magazine. "I don't like it. I learned my lesson when [writer-director] Christopher Nolan and I talked about Batman. I decided it wasn't for me. Then he didn't want to put me in 'The Prestige.' They not only hired their Batman for it, they also hired my girlfriend at the time."
The girlfriend he was referring to was Scarlett Johansson.
"That's when I realized relationships were formed in the fire of that first Batman film and I should have been part of the relationship with this guy Nolan, who I felt was incredibly cool and very talented," he said. "I was so focused on not being pigeonholed and so scared of being considered only one thing as an actor. I should have thought, Well, then, work harder, man. Watching Christian Bale go on to do so many other things has been just awesome. I mean, he's been able to overcome that. Why couldn't I see that at the time?"
he was a hot commodity back in the early 2000s, and almost every big picture wanted him in the lead.
"Spider-Man was something we talked about. Batman was another one. But I somehow knew those roles had potential to define me, and I didn't want that," he told Details magazine (http://www.details.com/celebrities-entertainment/movies-and-tv/201405/josh-hartnett-interview-showtime-penny-dreadfu) of passing on the iconic characters.
He also passed on 2006's "Superman Returns."
"I didn't want to be labeled as Superman for the rest of my career. I was maybe 22, but I saw the danger."
Hartnett admits that he and his agents even parted ways after passing on such projects.
"I didn't have those agents for much longer after that,” he said. “There was a lot of infighting between my manager and agents, trying to figure out who to put the blame on. It got to the point where none of us were able to work together.”
