By the way, if you think Bale is a super cool guy in real life you should check out the candid audio clip of him going ape ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- on one of the workers who walked into his line of sight during the filming of a scene (wrecking Bales concentration). He doesn't seem that cool to me. But I couldn't care less if he's cool in real life. If I had standards like that I'd find myself sitting through Ben Affleck movies.
Whether Batman's voice was meant to strike fear in the hearts of men or not (hint: it was), it sounded lame either way.
I'm 33.

I am a fan of Bale, and I don't knock him for his blow ups on set. He is a character actor.
If you want Christian Bale to play Batman, well don't steal on the set because he WILL run you down, break your arm, and then flee into the shadows.
If you want a happy go lucky actor on the set get Tom Cruise, but then you will just have Tom Cruise as a secret agent, Tom Cruise is a future cop, Tom Cruise is a race car driver, Tom Cruise fly's planes.....sort of, Tom Cruise as Tom Cruise.
I love character acting far more than being yourself cause you can really connect with the character. Sometimes the other end is good, but you have to like the guy. Hence why mission impossible flopped so bad after Cruise went crazy.
Anyways, it's not like Bale went Russel Crowe crazy.
And 28.

Watch Bale in the Machinist. Good movie...

I'm not against Bale. He's done some good stuff. Frankly, Tom Cruise is pretty good too, and god knows I wouldn't have much interest in a personal relationship with that nutjob. Tom Cruise has done some out-of-the-box stuff. He was great in Collateral. Magnolia too (though I didn't really like the film). And his role in Tropic Thunder, Jesus Christ, I didn't even know it was him for most of the movie. The movie was nearly unwatchable, but there were a couple of amazing performances in it. And at least when he is just phoning in a performance as Tom Cruise, he's not bad. He has good timing, charisma, presence. He's not bad at all. He's just a scientologist which makes you want to dislike him. And he did have quite a string of the same formulaic movie over and over again, just in a different setting each time.

From IMDB:
--- Quote ---The producers of the film claim that Christian Bale dropped from about 173 pounds in weight down to about 110 pounds in weight to make this film. They also claim that Bale actually wanted to drop down to 100 pounds, but that they would not let him go below 120 out of fear that his health could be in too much danger if he did. His diet consisted of one can of tuna and an apple per day. His 63-pound weight loss is said to be a record for any actor for a movie role. He regained the weight in time for his role in Batman Begins.
