Christian Bale is jealous of BATFLECK


Now I know what I thought when I heard that Ben Affleck got cast as Batman… there was indeed a fanboy God! But that doesn’t mean that there weren’t, and still are, people who aren’t on board with this.

And one of them just so happens to be Christian Bale:

I’ve got to admit initially, even though I felt that it was the right time to stop, there was always a bit of me going, ‘Oh go on… Let’s do another.’ So when I heard there was someone else doing it, there was a moment where I just stopped and stared into nothing for half an hour.

As the caped crusader in Christopher Nolan‘s trilogy he fit the bill, but taking a second to imagine him on screen with Henry Cavill, it just never clicked for me.

He had his time with the cowl but who wouldn’t want to jump back in? He had fun dashing across rooftops protecting the very soul of Gotham. And he could still tackle the likes of whatever DC villain could possibly be grounded in the Dark Knight pseudo reality we all enjoyed between 2005 and 2012.

But his era came and went, despite fan reaction to the final installment, and now we get to see someone else’s take. And for me I can’t wait to view a Bruce Wayne that embodies the comic book in a way cinema has never seen which is what I’m expecting from the creative team that brought us Man of Steel.

But be honest what do you think? Do you miss Bale and his special raspy voice? Are on board with BatFleck? Or will the man formally known to be without fear mess this up?
