    "Holy way to hit the nail on the head, Batman!" hide show

    The one, true Batman, finally!
    I love the edge he brings to the caped crusader, and the intense, just-below-the-surface element he gives "Bruce Wayne" as well. The paradox that is the man-hero was never more perfectly woven as with Bale's (and Christopher Nolan's, of course!)interpretation.
    I am busily trying to catch up on other, more recent roles but I did love him in "Little Women" and then something/someone as completely different as his role in "The Prestige".
    I think his diverse performance abilities are incredible and I know we will be seeing much more of him in the future. The deep, dark "stuff" is a given, but I'd like to see him in some lighter fare as well. I think he's got the chops and it takes lots of chops to do comedy well!

    No matter what you gave to this man he can do it Christian Bale is an excelent actor and his appearence was on TV in the movie "Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna" playing Alexei but i know him from "Empire Of The Sun" at the age of 13

    Favourite hide show

    Bale, is probably my favourite actor, I first saw this talented actor in cult movie "American Psycho", in which he played the psycho, he was great in this, then I learned that he would star in "Batman Begins" which soon turned out to be my favourite movie of all time, he portrayed Bruce Wayne brilliantly I cant wait to see the sequil "The Dark Knight" which looks even better, a year after, he co stared in my second favourite film, "The Prestige" and in 2007 he co starred alongside Russel Crowe in the action packed western "3:10 To Yuma", it was great to this film because both my favorite actors were in the same film, I now plan to watch most of his earlier work, because he is such a great actor.

    He can do it all! hide show

    It is no wonder that Christian can really do it all. As he is a talented actor. He started in Speilberg's Empire of the Sun and that he has gone from child actor to being a great one. And will be for many more years to come. He got his biggest break in "American Pyscho" which he played a Ted Bundy like killer. Now he is Batman and that he has done about every accent that you can think of. He is good at doing accents. The actor is really focused and at one point, lost sixty pounds for a role. He has come a long way but still has a long way to go!
