Only Christian Bale can talk so beautifully about the role of Batman / Bruce Wayne. There's so much sincerity and confidence in his voice when discribes his own role and the role of Heath's. The coolest thing I ever witnessed is that an actor expresses that same sincerity and confidence in a movie by portraying a certain character. Christian is one of the very few actors who holds these values in high regard. Let The Dark Knight Rise! :-)
chrsitian bale is such an amazing actor and a real intellect, you can just tell from listening to him speak that he knows what he's talking about, its refreshing to watch.
this movie absolutely blew me away. i mean, i knew it was going to be good, but i didn't realize just how good it was really going to be. christopher nolan is an amazing director. and all the actors in this movie were also amazing. christian bale is the perfect batman (although i also thought the same thing with batman begins). and aaron eckhart as harvey dent. and the joker.. heath ledger blows everyone out of the water with his performance. he was probably my favorite character in this movie.
Oh my god ur so right i got completely lost in that movie! It really felt like all that could really happen it wasnt to far out. Loved Heath, Aaron, and chris in it!
he's such a great actor, from empire of the sun to american psycho to equlibrium to the machinist to batman/bruce wayne he's never (in my eyes) faltered to give a fullly rounded performance doing the character in question CMPLETE justice.
What differentiates these batman movies from the other superhero movies is that the actors in the Batman movies are fully committed in making a great movie whereas in the past it seems that the performances are booked in.
@Antroid123 Its true, he chose to promote and give interviews for " Batman Begins " in American accent, so people don't get confused that Batman is British .
@PXR05 you know, i have been thinking this myself . will he ever choose to appear there if he is called ? I was pleasantly surprised to see that Russell Crowe did .
Such an amazing movie. I love Christian Bale, he's been the best Batman, and Heath....the best Joker EVER!!!! I really hope he gets an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor and that he wins it bcuz for some reason, I believe he would've won it anyways. He was tremendously AMAZING. RIP
When promoting the film in interviews and public events, Bale reportedly retained Batman's American accent to avoid confusion with Batman being English.
I thought having Harvey Dent was a great necessity. The way they worked him in the movie was (I'll admit) a little tight, but he become important not only in the establishment of the necessity for hope in Gotham but also in giving batman a position, an eventual role to play within the eyes of the Gotham public. Without Harvey Dent, without two face we wouldn't be able to truly see how batman is the dark knight.
Y'can tell Bales accent is drifting bless. Nicholson played a great Joker. Burton did a great job cus he's dark, which is what Batman always was. Still need to see this film so I'll pass judgement when I see Ledger Ledger do his thing. He looks fuckin good anyways so Im happy already. Cant wait.
Depending on the accent he uses in his films, he will also use that accent in the interviews. He says it prevents confusion, but it just hurts my small brain. Then again, he is a method actor... I guess it simplifies things for him...
dark knight was brilliant, but i really hope they don't make a third. I honestly can't picture it evolving to heights past this. Plus i dont know how they would work around no other Joker
i know heats performancewas awesoome but why is everybody always only talking about him and not aron eckhard he was also awesoome as two face its like there was only joker as a villan in the movie.
its the best fuking fucking movie ever. everybody who hasnt watched it go wtach it, you're missing out on something awesome.. and people who have wtched it.watch it for the second time. thumbs up thumbs up
I love the dark knight.. it´s maybe my all time favorite movie(at least top 3).. but I think Bales performance is a little bit with no focus.. like he is allready sure he dominates the caracter fully and therefor doesn't need to concentrate and put great efford in playing it.. which results in one of his greyest performances..still ok, but he can do way better..
No beating or hitting happened. It was a case of raised voices and swearing. In the UK the charge of "assault" is verbal only. Not that I would blame him for slapping his mom..she has been nothing but a thorn in his side for years.
I love Christian Bale.....he was awesome as batman!!! The Dark Knight rocked!! And one more thing....... HEATH LEDGER WAS AMAZING AS THE JOKER....way better then Jack Nicholson!!!
well, he's been doing this movie in a new york sort of accent for a while, and i mean, once you start talking in an accent for a long time it can stick, so he's probably getting used to his regular accent again :P but who cares about the voice, his face is enough ;)
Heath Ledger had absolutely no qualities of a joker to begin with, so to do as good of a job as he did he had to completely change himself. The joker doesnt sound or look like heath whatsoever... amazing
I wouldn't say Joker is a nihilist. In his mind... sick and twisted mind, he is doing a sort of poetic justice. Therefore, although does not grasp reality, does have a sense of morals. Of course I see Batman as an Absurdist.
He`s a great actor, but Christian seems not to be himself here. The choice of talking "American" in this and other interviews DOES matter. Because unless an interviewee is being himself (which he clearly isn`t here) you cannot expect candid responses. It`s a bizarre choice of his. I`d love to see him on The Actor`s Studio....has he done that? Next up for him is a Depression-era gangster movie with Johnny Depp...perhaps that explains it....getting into character etc.
Well funny you should say that cause in the comics Batman/Bruce Wayne is pretty much the same as Patrick Bateman. That's why Bale was chosen for the role. Batman is a psycho.
I dont know wtf everyone is talking about his "American" accent for. In this interview his accent is deffinatley English but his American accents from ROLES cross over after he's finished making the film. I dont know where you people are getting this bullshit about he "Chooses to talk in American" Its BOLLOCKS.

Batman and Joker are such amazing characters and they do a perfect job of showing the two do battle in the film.
chrsitian bale is such an amazing actor and a real intellect, you can just tell from listening to him speak that he knows what he's talking about, its refreshing to watch.
he is the best actor ever....he has so much dedication, i dont know who he is anymore...bateman or batman
this movie absolutely blew me away. i mean, i knew it was going to be good, but i didn't realize just how good it was really going to be. christopher nolan is an amazing director. and all the actors in this movie were also amazing. christian bale is the perfect batman (although i also thought the same thing with batman begins). and aaron eckhart as harvey dent. and the joker.. heath ledger blows everyone out of the water with his performance. he was probably my favorite character in this movie.
"Why so serious" will go down as one of the most memorable phrases in hollywood history.
that description of the joker was one of the best i've ever heard.
Oh my god ur so right i got completely lost in that movie! It really felt like all that could really happen it wasnt to far out. Loved Heath, Aaron, and chris in it!
he's such a great actor, from empire of the sun to american psycho to equlibrium to the machinist to batman/bruce wayne he's never (in my eyes) faltered to give a fullly rounded performance doing the character in question CMPLETE justice.
Bale is a legend and my favorite actor.
OMG Im watching it right now! I love you Howl
Damn right no doubt...as good as the first one is the second one is insane!!
christian and heath gave the preformance of a lifetime!
What differentiates these batman movies from the other superhero movies is that the actors in the Batman movies are fully committed in making a great movie whereas in the past it seems that the performances are booked in.
@Antroid123
Its true, he chose to promote and give interviews for " Batman Begins " in American accent, so people don't get confused that Batman is British .
Bale & Ledger greatest comic book character portrayers ever!
@PXR05
you know, i have been thinking this myself . will he ever choose to appear there if he is called ? I was pleasantly surprised to see that Russell Crowe did .
Chris Bale is amazing!
Such an amazing movie. I love Christian Bale, he's been the best Batman, and Heath....the best Joker EVER!!!! I really hope he gets an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor and that he wins it bcuz for some reason, I believe he would've won it anyways. He was tremendously AMAZING. RIP

I love, love, love his accent
he is english, from wales. it's good for actors to be able to change their accents.
does anyone know if there will be another one?
he said he perfers to keep talkin in the accent that batman uses to avoid confusing the fans
I thought having Harvey Dent was a great necessity. The way they worked him in the movie was (I'll admit) a little tight, but he become important not only in the establishment of the necessity for hope in Gotham but also in giving batman a position, an eventual role to play within the eyes of the Gotham public.

Batman x Joker all the way man!!! Even Christian Bale said so!!! "sick kind of love"!!!! YESSSSS
amen!
@55batmanandjoker
yes, I agree. All the performances were great .
Y'can tell Bales accent is drifting bless. Nicholson played a great Joker. Burton did a great job cus he's dark, which is what Batman always was. Still need to see this film so I'll pass judgement when I see Ledger Ledger do his thing. He looks fuckin good anyways so Im happy already. Cant wait.
@msheedy1 I read somewhere that he was actually considered for that role before it went to daniel craig, I wish it had been Christian
This guy sounds funnaay!
sweet!
i totally agree :]]]
Christian Bale is awesome!. woot
Not many that are anywhere as good as the top non-American actors: Christian Bale, Colin Farrell, Russell Crowe, Heath Ledger.
Depending on the accent he uses in his films, he will also use that accent in the interviews. He says it prevents confusion, but it just hurts my small brain. Then again, he is a method actor... I guess it simplifies things for him...
dark knight was brilliant, but i really hope they don't make a third. I honestly can't picture it evolving to heights past this. Plus i dont know how they would work around no other Joker
Although he was born in Wales, I never heard him with a Welsh accent. It's always English or American.
i know heats performancewas awesoome but why is everybody always only talking about him and not aron eckhard he was also awesoome as two face its like there was only joker as a villan in the movie.
yeah he's definitely one of the best...Liek Heath ledger and James Mcavoy!
its the best fuking fucking movie ever.
everybody who hasnt watched it go wtach it, you're missing out on something awesome..
and people who have wtched it.watch it for the second time.
thumbs up thumbs up
I love the dark knight.. it´s maybe my all time favorite movie(at least top 3).. but I think Bales performance is a little bit with no focus.. like he is allready sure he dominates the caracter fully and therefor doesn't need to concentrate and put great efford in playing it.. which results in one of his greyest performances..still ok, but he can do way better..
he's welsh, which means he's from wales. And yes, he was arrested for assault of his mother an sister
he sounds a bit like it in the interview but very different.
No beating or hitting happened. It was a case of raised voices and swearing. In the UK the charge of "assault" is verbal only. Not that I would blame him for slapping his mom..she has been nothing but a thorn in his side for years.
Wow it took six films for Batman to be physically able to move his head :P
god he's hot and intense... loved the movie and i hope that there's a third.
No, he's not English, he was born in Wales, he's Welsh.
@msheedy1
OMFG
i never actually thought of christian as james bond.
but fuck me that would be awesome
More like in "The Prestige," but more toned down. This is a clear example of his "normal" accent.
I love Christian Bale.....he was awesome as batman!!! The Dark Knight rocked!! And one more thing....... HEATH LEDGER WAS AMAZING AS THE JOKER....way better then Jack Nicholson!!!
is he english or what? i always thought he was american until i heard him in interviews
His accent sounds so confused - 'should I stay American or be British?'
WRONG She said Heath Ledger was free!
(raises hand) =)
well, he's been doing this movie in a new york sort of accent for a while, and i mean, once you start talking in an accent for a long time it can stick, so he's probably getting used to his regular accent again :P
but who cares about the voice, his face is enough ;)
Heath Ledger had absolutely no qualities of a joker to begin with, so to do as good of a job as he did he had to completely change himself. The joker doesnt sound or look like heath whatsoever... amazing
Howl wheres yur castle? :D
i think his accent is mixed..
y does he stammer?
it like fluctuates from new york to welsh to english ahrghdfgfg
And I thought my jokes were bad...
I wouldn't say Joker is a nihilist. In his mind... sick and twisted mind, he is doing a sort of poetic justice. Therefore, although does not grasp reality, does have a sense of morals.
Of course I see Batman as an Absurdist.
maybe but not with the joker obviously. and it would be really hard to top The Dark Knight.
It's not like I know the guy but his sister and mom are crazy... so I wouldn't be surprised (?) if the charges were false
agree actually. There was something very weird to it.
wow i thought christian was american he has american and uk accent nice
Welsh accent, actually.
He`s a great actor, but Christian seems not to be himself here.
The choice of talking "American" in this and other interviews DOES matter. Because unless an interviewee is being himself (which he clearly isn`t here) you cannot expect candid responses.
It`s a bizarre choice of his.
I`d love to see him on The Actor`s Studio....has he done that?
Next up for him is a Depression-era gangster movie with Johnny Depp...perhaps that explains it....getting into character etc.
I agree,how did he get that job?Christian Bale is looking at him like he is a total idiot.
Well funny you should say that cause in the comics Batman/Bruce Wayne is pretty much the same as Patrick Bateman. That's why Bale was chosen for the role.
Batman is a psycho.
I dont know wtf everyone is talking about his "American" accent for. In this interview his accent is deffinatley English but his American accents from ROLES cross over after he's finished making the film. I dont know where you people are getting this bullshit about he "Chooses to talk in American" Its BOLLOCKS.
he's welsh
Bateman=Batman
he was really sad of heath ledgers death tht y
wow his interview accent is so weird
swoons
1st comment....
Bale is GREAT as BATMAN but SUCKS as BRUCE WAYNE
