 Coolness: 685815 | Holy Psycho Killers! Christian Bale Cast As Batman
Christian Bale can officially utter what are probably the most famous two words in comic book history: "I'm Batman." The British actor, best known for playing yuppie serial killer Patrick Bateman in 2000's "American Psycho," has been cast as the lead in the next "Batman" installment, Warner Bros. announced Thursday (September 11). Christopher Nolan, the visionary behind "Memento" and "Insomnia," will direct the film, which will follow the early career of the Dark Knight. "What I see in Christian is the ultimate embodiment of Bruce Wayne," Nolan said in a press statement. "He has exactly the balance of darkness and light that we were looking for." David Goyer, who wrote "The Crow: City of Angels" and three "Blade" movies (the third is in production now), penned the new "Batman" script, the details of which are being highly guarded. Filming on the movie will begin early next year, after the rest of the cast is filled. Bale first garnered critical acclaim in Steven Spielberg's 1987 drama "Empire of the Sun" and has since appeared in "Reign of Fire," "Laurel Canyon" and 2000's "Shaft" remake. The actor, who will follow in the shoes of Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney, was competing for the role against several other young thespians, including Jake Gyllenhaal ("The Good Girl"), Eion Bailey ("Fight Club") and Cillian Murphy ("28 Days Later"). *********** It's about fucking time! After seeing American Psycho, I think he's the only person who can bring Batman back from the horrible last 2 movies. |

 Coolness: 66740 | I could've sworn Arronfonsky was doing the next batman movie, and its going to be more of an adult twisted film than comic book violence brought to the bigscreen film |

| Coolness: 685815 | Arnofsky was taken out a few months back. He wasn't into the vision they had of bringing batman back as a dark character, he wanted to do a flashy neon bullshit like the last one, so they got a better guy signed.
I'm just hoping the rumors that Marilyn Manson is going to play The Scarecrow hold true, because he HAS been signed for something involving the movie, and it's not just the score. |

| Coolness: 63385 | I can't picture Aronofsky making a flashy neon movie. . . And I can't see a flashy neon movie being made from Frank Miller's Year One story.
You sure that's why Aronofsky was took off the project? Year One would of made an awesome movie... especially if it was shot like Pi or Requiem for a dream. Nolan sounds like a good director tho... Doubt he'll fuck this movie up. |

 Coolness: 201450 | Maybe he was planning on making batman a crazy jewish guy who did too much drugs then killed himself at the end. |

... ah, that still wouldn't make it a flashy neon movie, though. |

| Coolness: 63385 | "Hi, um, yeah, the joke went right over my head so I'm going to assume that it was bigotted. I've never seen any of Aronofsky's movies or read Requiem for a dream, so even though I have no idea what you guys are talking about, I feel entitled to be an ass about it."
(edited for less words, less caps, less sarcasm. the point sticks.) |

| Coolness: 63385 | agreed, swing kids was amazing. Loved the movie.
Loved the music, and love the dance. Ever lindy'd before Miss Amanda? Oh, and Afrokaboozy, I'm sure you're a nice enough guy, but we're having a misunderstanding here and you're coming off as a really annoying bitch who has trouble grasping the english english language. I didn't say you were biggoted, I insinuated that you were taking *us* for biggots with your half-assed and uninformed comment. Now, if you want to keep this misunderstanding going, and insist on being a dickhead, you can message me privately and I'll be glad to educate you as to *why* you're being a dickhead in extremely fine detail. However, you will have to wait a week or so before receiving your education, as I'll be on the road for a bit as of tomorrow. This thread was about Christian Bale as Batman (and all stuff related to that). So, let's talk about that. Christian Bale = he knows how dance, he's got that broody mystique, his roles have been varied, and he's a good actor. It should work out. |

| Coolness: 685815 | Watch American Psycho. Take out all the crazy and you have Bruce Wayne, 100% perfect. He has the right look to play a millionaire playboy, and he's got the build to be a super hero. Shit, they don't even need to give him a padded costume, just have him throw o a tight shirt and he'll suply the detail. |

| Coolness: 339890 | how is it that no one has picked up on the fact that his character was called "Patrick Bateman"...
uhh.. Bateman, Batman......? |

| Coolness: 63385 | I'm renting American Psycho when I get back to Montreal. . . and, hell, a tight shirt might be better then having him in a rubber suit... or if they do give him a rubber suit, I hope there won't be nipples on it.
The Scarecrow is an awesome villain. He should translate well onto film. If they can't make this work... (and eh, Afroka might be a Poet Laureate for all I know. He still misread what was written, though. But, eh, I probably read too much into what he wrote, so in the end, we're both asshats.) |

| Coolness: 685815 | ican Psycho is a great movie. It's sort of like it's poking fun at 80s yuppies who live for their money and buisness, but don't know how to have a life outside of work... And then he snaps. :) |
