That's my trouble with the Snyder DC movies - too many things being said instead of shown. If I want to hear every single thing explained verbally, I'd listen to an audiobook
You gotta remember, Christian Bale is convincingly pretending to be a man who's deliberately slightly less convincingly pretending to be someone else... That takes talent.
I love when an actor has to play an actor playing a whole another character. And they did it with Joker in the next movie. It was Heath Ledger playing whatever Joker's real name is playing a psychopath when he is actually tricking the Mafia, the police, even batman into walking right into his trap. It even was emphasised when he's telling he has no plan, but then it's seen that he is rehearsing the speech he has prepared.
Not enough people give credit to Christian Bale's acting in the scene where he pretends to be drunk, and kicks out the people from his party, the fact that he is pretending to be absolute hammered, insults the guests, tells them to leave and buzz off for being phonies and moochers all in an effort to save them from the League of shadows whilst also not trying to expose himself as Batman is absolutely brilliant and on the spot genius for Bruce Wayne.
@@CIements agreed but I didn't liked Rob's acting compared to what christian bale portrayed. Rob's may overacted and took the role very seriously. His voice was better than Bale but not the acting. Rob's Bruce wayne was terrible nothing like he was in the comics. hopefully he does it better in the next film. ❤ and that's my final opinion, thank you.
@@PowerR23 I think that was the point. Rob’s Batman is still young and is figuring things out. He’s too obsessed with the Batman role he neglects his role as Bruce Wayne (as shown in the movie) and thus does not care to be the playboy we know him as. Yet…
I grew up with the Nolan Trilogy. Whatever happens, I will always have a soft spot for it. Aside from that, Dark Knight is just an absolute master class of film making. That being said, Reeve's Batman was actually great!
@@ASH_AMG Bale is great but yeah, no movie could amount to the Comics. Like all adaptation it should honour its origin. And yeah, stuck up Bruce Wayne is very outdated in this point of Batman’s linear career. So Reeves is better.
It's like bateman but toned down. The facade of "bruce wayne" adds so much more depth to the films that are already GOAT status, and christian bale was absolutely the perfect casting choice.
calling him bateman but toned down is an insult. bateman is a narcissist psychopath, who wants to fit in, and prefers to kill all competition. that is not bruce wayne and batman. lmfao…
I really prefer bales suave and the way he delivers every line compared to the “I’m rich” line, to me it came off as a rub to the face compared to when bale just subtly refers to his other lambo and the fact that he doesn’t take everything seriously for it’s all just a facade. Cause deep down he’s still but the broken boy who blames himself for the death of his parents.
Agreed. I mean one Bruce Wayne was written by the Nolan Brothers and the other was written by a just BRILLIANT guy who literally said his ideal version of Bruce Wayne gets r**Ed in prison so the "I'm rich" line kind of epitomizes Zack's level of subtlety.
Considering he's there with a Prima Dona Ballerina, it's actually fairly disrespectful to her LOL but of course he's so busy trying to cock block Harvey 🤣. This line is a rare occurrence of the REAL Bruce peeking out from behind the Playboy's mask and he does it because he's jealous. By the way, I love the earlier line where Harvey says Rachel has told him everything about Bruce and Bruce says, "I certainly hope not". I remember that getting a laugh of appreciation in the theater. I really love that I was able to see all three movies in the theater when they came out. Makes a big difference watching with other audience members and on the big screen.
What always cracked me up about Bruce shitting on his party guests in Batman Begins is the fact that it didn't stop them from coming back for his fundraiser in The Dark Knight😂
Really rich people doesnt operate on emotional level. You come to fundraiser because you are there to network and/or make money. You could give a fck about who host the party. Or do you think they would pass on the opportunity if billionare invite because he was a little bit rude to all the people agest ago, lol
This isn't completely unrealistic. Given the way Bruce talks to the crowd indirectly; if you are part of the crowd you'd believe someone else (not you) pissed him off that night. So, too may not directly resent him for it and won't actually be offended
What I loved so much about bale’s Batman (and this isn’t just his performance but also the writing), is he’s literally on a crusade, everything he does, either as Batman or as Bruce Wayne, is to advance his goal of saving the city he loves. It isn’t just that his parents were killed, it’s the greater corruption and crime that created the circumstances leading up to their death. Like he says, he’s making himself more than a man, he’s making himself into an ideal, and while the Nolan films definitely devoted greatly from the Batman mythos, that core desire to make himself more than a man is what I’ve always loved most about Batman: that’s his superpower
What people don’t seem to realize is that all the Batman actors portray a COMPLETELY different stage in Batman’s career. Pattinson portrays the recluse billionaire who ignores the Bruce Wayne persona seeing it as Batman is more important and hasn’t yet realized that philanthropy and social presence is as significant in Gotham’s welfare. This is clearly in line with years one to two of Bruce’s personality. Bale portrays the reckless playboy and tabloid magnet who bangs supermodels, drives luxury cars, buys things that aren’t for sales, hangs with Russian dancers on yachts, drunkly burns down his house, shows up late, falls asleep in board meetings and insults his guests regularly. Then you have the matured humble philanthropist Bruce in his prime, Batfleck. Who is beloved by Gotham, is involved in charity, a complete people pleaser and gentleman, and overall just the type of man his parents wanted him to become. He uses Bruce Wayne and Batman as a means to better Gotham and the world. To compare them is completely nonsensical and a waste of time. Just understand Bruce’s evolution as a public figure in Gotham and how he has gone from recluse, to tabloid magnet, to philanthropist.
The Bruce that Pattinson portrays is the real Bruce Wayne without the glamor or the smooth nature. He's gaunt, pale, and looks depressed and like he doesn't sleep enough, which he clearly doesn't.
The stage that Pattinson portrays has, for the most part, never existed. I have read Year One more than 20 times and Batman already has the Bruce Wayne persona in that comic whereas Battinson is in Year 2 and still doesnt. Battinson is not comic accurate at all
@@sparshbansal6624 He is, actually. Exaggerated, but he still holds the principal of how Bruce Wayne would have been like before he thought of making the persona
I think that Christopher nolans batman is the best because this bruce rather than being batman also looks after his bussiness which mainly funds his batmans equipments/costumes etc
I don’t think Wayne Enterprise does fund his Batman equipment.. Fox was pretty much giving him top secret equipment for free.. cos if he payed for it - it’d leave a trace.
I love how each actor brings something new to Bruce Wayne, and I think Bale is easily my favourite on screen version with Keaton and Pattinson not too far behind
We have yet to see Pattinson do the billionaire playboy - tbh I think he'll be great. What I'd like to see is how that sacrifice can really effect someone, isolate them even more than being batman does. He'll put some heart into it I think.
christian bale is just next level when it comes to acting. the amount of effort he puts into it with his method acting and dedication is insane.. i think he will be remembered as one of the greatest actors of all time
What I really like is that he nailed both sides of bruce wayne his public demeanor and the way he acts when not around anyone. He conveys focus on the task at hand
What I love about Bale’s version is Bruce’s secret love for Batman. You can tell when people discuss Batman and have admiration for what he’s done, Bruce focusses with some glee in his face. At this point he feels great about everything he is doing and hasn’t really come face-to-face with the consequences of his actions. Then at the end, Rachel basically tells him she’ll never be with him as long as he is Batman. Kinda dumb but okay. Then in the second one Bruce treats Batman more like a burden and less like a virtuous joy-ride. You can really tell that in the dinner scene with Harvey, Rachel, and the Russian dancer that his interest is insanely peaked by the thought of a world where Batman was no longer needed. And then that became his goal. I think that’s why I prefer this Batman over Pattinson. The first film is still kind of fun, sort of like Keaton, Bale’s Batman got a sick sort of thrill from it all, it played with the superhero aspects a bit more and I love superheroes. I appreciate the different approach with the new Batman and I hope they develop the sort of Bruce Wayne that would make sense for this universe. (Btw didn’t discuss The Dark Knight Rises cause I just don’t want to, f*ck that movie)
This quote was legitimate up until the dark knight rises bashing.. jk it’s still legit. But why do ppl hate TDKR!? I get it’s the most flawed in the trilogy but it’s an epic conclusion in every sense of the word. Emotionally resonant, well written with a few plot holes for sure.
@@swishknowsball It isn’t the worst movie ever but I need to treat movie’s fairly based on what they are. TDKR is just so odd to me. The Talia twist was dumb, Bruce became stupidly naïve, Bane gave Batman 5 months to recuperate for their showdown, Jordon Glovit Levit Buvit Muvit’s character was stupid and annoying as well, he was like a little kid in a policeman costume. Which I get it (Oh ya reel name Robin use dat) but man it was just all too cheesy for me personally. And I like Ann Hathaway but idk man, her Catwoman was too basic. They got things right but she has no real character other than the fact that she thinks rich people suck and she questions her morality at times. Idk I can’t stand the movie even though they’re things I do like about it.
@@Aswar211 The story gets a little wonky imo, the dialogue is very cheesy and forced at times, the whole Talia arc is just bad, the Robin arc is just bad, the whole prison scene was pretty good and made sense for the story but I still can’t understand punching someone’s back into perfect health. Idk the movie isn’t up to par with it’s predecessors
@@MateImDeepInnit Well I mean he wasn't "punching someone back into health." Tho he was reconfiguring his spine. They probably just made him do it in a dramatic way like that since its a movie
I love how Bruce’s tangent about the “phonies” appears to just be him drunk and clueless, like he doesn’t know what he’s doing, while deep down he probably meant EVERY word. He despised the out-of-touch socialites he was surrounded by and let them know it, even though it was to save them. Just brilliant.
He wasn't actually buying it on the spot right there. He leaves with the girls, he just doesn't gave any F's and was showing that guy he could buy it if he wanted. Just being arrogant Bruce Wayne before he dipped out of there (of course dipping in the water first haha)
Well did he successfully bought the restaurant, with legal papers? I think it is more like the Manager is stoned and don't know what to do to a crazy dude who just gave him a check with huge amount. He probably took some time checking who is this rich guy,and then found out he is Bruce Wayne, then he called the owner,the owner said: "nah,let him be, he is just a billionaire playboy with nothing better to do, I'll see how to manage this situation later with Lucius fox.." This can happen, he is not some random rich douchebag, he is a Wayne, that name means something in Gotham.
People don’t realize Bruce Wayne is actually a persona “Batman” develops. Bruce believes his true self is Batman, BRUCE is the mask he uses to deceive people in the general public. That’s why Rob’s Batman story is great for a year 2 Batman, he’s too much into Batman figuring out he needs to be Bruce too. This Bruce Bale is a Batman who has it all figured out, how to balance both Bruce and Batman, he’s really figured out the role Bruce plays in his life.
Batman isn’t his true self.. his true self is when he’s in the cave with Alfred - Batman is an extension of his guilt and anger - Bruce Wayne is the facade he puts up of the life he thought he’d have had his parents not died.
A fun way for Battinson to distinguish his portrayal of the Bruce Wayne persona from Bale and Batfleck could be to act similarly to how Pattinson acts IRL during interviews. Like kinda goofy, rambling, funny, charming but chaotic. A little similar to how Keaton played it, but with his own spin.
@@kaaluha nope, you have to understand that tastes we don't discuss, matter of fact, my forever batman is Kevin Conroy, If you don't agree with something, it doesn't mean that some1 else is wrong.
Bale is an awesome Bruce Wayne. But that couldn't be done without an awesome writing and directing. Nolan's vision of Bruce is amazing and Bale gave life to it.
I love how he introduces his date as being in the ballet to impress them, then looks at Harvey and says “Oh you’re into ballet?” as a subtle insult lol
Mr. Earl's face falls real quick. And I love how Bruce says "It's all a bit technical..." just like Earl said to him when Bruce asked him who was buying up the stock. And then Fox puts the last nail in the coffin by throwing Earl's own line back on him too - "Didn't you get the memo?" LOLLOLLOLLOL They both got their revenge on Mr. Earl!
I love how Christian Bale nailed the three sides of Bruce Wayne. He nailed Batman very well, channeling the kind of anger and pain Bruce would exhume as Batman and intimidated the normal every night criminal very effectively. While people make fun of his voice, it’s smart he’d have to change it considering how Bruce Wayne is well known and people would know his voice, it also works due to the more grounded version of the character he’s playing. He got the playboy version of Bruce Wayne down where he seems a bit full of himself, to where people see him as too self absorbed to be selfless enough to be Batman as well as being a very good philanthropist while being a billionaire, which also comes into his portrayal as the real Bruce that people like Alfred Fox, Rachel and eventually Blake and Selina see, where he’s able to actually be himself and not have a persona around those he’s close with. He’s the best Bruce Wayne/Batman to me.
I really liked how well put and formulated that was, especially in regards to you describing the three identities. You’re absolutely right, it’s not just playboy billionaire, and Batman with very little emotions, striking fear into the villains. But at his core, theres also that boy who lost his parents years ago and is forever hurt and never at peace.
I don't think of it that way...Patrick is very much like a fish out of water among his peers. Bale plays him so that you can see him struggling to be normal but the trouble is, he doesn't even KNOW what's normal. Listen to Patrick talk about liners notes of albums and such and you see just how hard he has to try to even be conversational. In contrast, Bale's Billionaire Playboy persona fits in among his peers like a glove. Yes - the Playboy is eccentric - but he blends right in with the Trust Fund Brigade with ease. I think what people key into is that both Patrick and the Playboy are putting on act to hide who they really are underneath. They both come across as "monied" and arrogant and pretentious. But I don't see the Playboy as a toned-down version of Patrick. That's my take on it but I do see why people say that.
You should've let that clip play out where Bruce suggests putting tables together when Harvey says he doesn't know if they can but then Bruce says they should because he owns the place lok
Batman Begins is still my fav of the trilogy for how it managed to give us time to feel the differences in Bruce’s public billionaire facade, intimidation tactics as Batman and of course his own personality and ambitious drive. Too many filmmakers just showcase Bruce’s attitude being the same in private and wearing the cowl which it isn’t.
snyder's bruce: "i bought the bank", "i'm rich" Nolan's bruce: doesn't talk about being rich he is the money and puts the spoiled brat act so perfectly
Batman 89 was a bit too new wave,but once batman begins was released, it really came into its own both artistically and commercially, the whole movie has a crisp,clear feel to it, a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the movie a big boost, he's been compared to Michael keaton,but I think Christian bale has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
I hope he doesn't. I don't think that version of Gotham would work with the billionaire playboy. I could see him putting on a similar persona, but not acting the exact same way
@@FrancisCastiglione I actually hope he will have to balance it out. Like for instance he will have to rpetend to be a spoiled brat in order to enter circles of the very top of society where rich people who only want to do good arent welcome. Batman needs the Bruce Wayne mask sometimes to gather more intel about the people who arent hiding in the dark when comitting their crimes and those people dont hang out with philantropists…
Others have said it as well but it bears repeating. Christian bale is an amazing batman, one of if not the best, but he is the best Bruce Wayne. There is no debate. If I were to imagine Bruce Wayne and his personality, I would think of what bale portrayed and he portrayed it perfectly, like nobody else ever could.

Damn he was 31 when he did the first Batman, he is 49 now, time flies fast as hell.
It’s definitely been an interesting near two decades.
What I really like is that he nailed both sides of bruce wayne his public demeanor and the way he acts when not around anyone. He conveys focus on the task at hand
Indeed, but you would have first hand experience with that since your Batman as well.
the type of power he holds, just by the way he sways his words around
He's not the Bruce Wayne we deserve, but the Bruce Wayne we needed the most
2:23 his body language here reminds me of Patrick Bateman
Looks like the American Psycho took over him for a second 😂
"No, no, no... I'm not finished."
The line is so off the cuff and yet Bale gives it a delightful drunken cheeky delivery.
Such a fantastic actor
He had such a charm. He had the perfect face for an experienced Batman still in youth.
"How did you get dinner reservations here?"
"That's simple, I bought the restaurant."
Just like he said he would in Batman Begins...🤣
0:39 when you’re faking Twitter beef by having two different accounts
Bruce Wayne plays Christen Bale so good.
The fact that you cut the video right before "I own the place" damn you man
“Hey take it easy, you’re everything they say you are ain’t you”.
Let's see Paul Allen's Bruce Wayne
“So really, your into ballet”😂🤘🏻🙌🏻 Bruce was a boss at shade
Just don’t tell him you can get a reservation at Dorcia on a Tuesday.
All the Bruce Waynes are great
George Clooney was also great as

Hello mr gigachad
Except Pattinson. He's Kurt Cobain and probably weighs as much as Kurt too.
What I love about Bale’s version is Bruce’s secret love for Batman. You can tell when people discuss Batman and have admiration for what he’s done, Bruce focusses with some glee in his face. At this point he feels great about everything he is doing and hasn’t really come face-to-face with the consequences of his actions. Then at the end, Rachel basically tells him she’ll never be with him as long as he is Batman. Kinda dumb but okay. Then in the second one Bruce treats Batman more like a burden and less like a virtuous joy-ride. You can really tell that in the dinner scene with Harvey, Rachel, and the Russian dancer that his interest is insanely peaked by the thought of a world where Batman was no longer needed. And then that became his goal. I think that’s why I prefer this Batman over Pattinson. The first film is still kind of fun, sort of like Keaton, Bale’s Batman got a sick sort of thrill from it all, it played with the superhero aspects a bit more and I love superheroes. I appreciate the different approach with the new Batman and I hope they develop the sort of Bruce Wayne that would make sense for this universe. (Btw didn’t discuss The Dark Knight Rises cause I just don’t want to, f*ck that movie)
Im curious why don't you like dark knight rises?
This quote was legitimate up until the dark knight rises bashing.. jk it’s still legit. But why do ppl hate TDKR!? I get it’s the most flawed in the trilogy but it’s an epic conclusion in every sense of the word. Emotionally resonant, well written with a few plot
holes for sure.
@@swishknowsball It isn’t the worst movie ever but I need to treat movie’s fairly based on what they are. TDKR is just so odd to me. The Talia twist was dumb, Bruce became stupidly naïve, Bane gave Batman 5 months to recuperate for their showdown, Jordon Glovit Levit Buvit Muvit’s character was stupid and annoying as well, he was like a little kid in a policeman costume. Which I get it (Oh ya reel name Robin use dat) but man it was just all too cheesy for me personally. And I like Ann Hathaway but idk man, her Catwoman was too basic. They got things right but she has no real character other than the fact that she thinks rich people suck and she questions her morality at times. Idk I can’t stand the movie even though they’re things I do like about it.
@@Aswar211 The story gets a little wonky imo, the dialogue is very cheesy and forced at times, the whole Talia arc is just bad, the Robin arc is just bad, the whole prison scene was pretty good and made sense for the story but I still can’t understand punching someone’s back into perfect health. Idk the movie isn’t up to par with it’s predecessors
@@MateImDeepInnit Well I mean he wasn't "punching someone back into health." Tho he was reconfiguring his spine. They probably just made him do it in a dramatic way like that since its a movie
I love how Bruce’s tangent about the “phonies” appears to just be him drunk and clueless, like he doesn’t know what he’s doing, while deep down he probably meant EVERY word. He despised the out-of-touch socialites he was surrounded by and let them know it, even though it was to save them. Just brilliant.
0:14 "Nice car"
"You should see my other one" ...whilst thinking of the batmobile 😂
Batman will never be the same without Christian Bale. He just fits the role so well. Sad to see him grow old and not play Batman anymore.
th-cam.com/video/HrbnLA0ZQss/w-d-xo.html LMAOOO
I actually like that he didn’t play Batman till the end like the James Bond movies. There needs to be an end.
When Bale's 60, they're gonna cast him as a teenager and he's gonna pull it off. 😂
Affleck was objectively better as Batman. No contest about it.
@@Ojas97 ?
i don't think you can buy a hotel by giving a check to the restaurant manager 🙃
Hes Batman
DC plot armor
He wasn't actually buying it on the spot right there. He leaves with the girls, he just doesn't gave any F's and was showing that guy he could buy it if he wanted. Just being arrogant Bruce Wayne before he dipped out of there (of course dipping in the water first haha)
🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
Well did he successfully bought the restaurant, with legal papers? I think it is more like the Manager is stoned and don't know what to do to a crazy dude who just gave him a check with huge amount. He probably took some time checking who is this rich guy,and then found out he is Bruce Wayne, then he called the owner,the owner said: "nah,let him be, he is just a billionaire playboy with nothing better to do, I'll see how to manage this situation later with Lucius fox.." This can happen, he is not some random rich douchebag, he is a Wayne, that name means something in Gotham.
He accurately describes what the top 1% actually is.
“Well a guy who dresses up like a BAT, CLEARLY has some issues 😅🫤” 😭🤣🤣
People don’t realize Bruce Wayne is actually a persona “Batman” develops. Bruce believes his true self is Batman, BRUCE is the mask he uses to deceive people in the general public. That’s why Rob’s Batman story is great for a year 2 Batman, he’s too much into Batman figuring out he needs to be Bruce too. This Bruce Bale is a Batman who has it all figured out, how to balance both Bruce and Batman, he’s really figured out the role Bruce plays in his life.
Batman isn’t his true self.. his true self is when he’s in the cave with Alfred - Batman is an extension of his guilt and anger - Bruce Wayne is the facade he puts up of the life he thought he’d have had his parents not died.
@@firstlast9846Agreed, the man in the cave is his true self
The people of gotham doesnt even know batman is bruce wayne so... what you talking about?
@@firstlast9846 When he was in the Lasso of Truth he said Batman was his true self
@@CIements that was in something entirely different with a different writer with a different interpretation
Out of all the Batman films, Christian Bale's role as Bruce Wayne is the most suited as a billionaire.
Impressive, very nice. Let's see Robert Pattinson's batman
A fun way for Battinson to distinguish his portrayal of the Bruce Wayne persona from Bale and Batfleck could be to act similarly to how Pattinson acts IRL during interviews. Like kinda goofy, rambling, funny, charming but chaotic. A little similar to how Keaton played it, but with his own spin.
1:22 his inner Bateman is kicking his way out
The roles are so synonymous.
No hate to Rob, but I will always prefer Bale over his take of Batman, without Bale, there would have been no Battinson
major cap
@@kaaluha nope, you have to understand that tastes we don't discuss, matter of fact, my forever batman is Kevin Conroy, If you don't agree with something, it doesn't mean that some1 else is wrong.
@@Goro69 cap
Bale's batman when he wores a suit he's the perfect Mr Wayne and when he's in the black armor he's The Best BATMAN
@@Goro69 Conroy is the best batman voice period. But Bale and Pattinson are the best live action movies
Bale is an awesome Bruce Wayne. But that couldn't be done without an awesome writing and directing. Nolan's vision of Bruce is amazing and Bale gave life to it.
0:39 yes, yes you do Bruce.
I bet Bruce could get a reservation at Dorsia
Wish I could relate :(
Bruce: So let’s put couple tables together?
Harvey: I don’t think they’ll let us.
Bruce: Oh they should. I own the place.
Christen Bale never had to say out loud that he was rich
I love how he introduces his date as being in the ballet to impress them, then looks at Harvey and says “Oh you’re into ballet?” as a subtle insult lol
Just the amount of detail in the smallest scenes
subtle?
He is THE Batman. He is THE Bruce Wayne.
Honestly what an amazing video, so genuinely crafted and woven together. This King of Condiments guy has some real talent.
Thank you for such kind words, much appreciated.
he cut like the best part ;-;
I would never, just teasing sorry about that, I cut out some very crucial parts. Mainly cause I suck at editing.
Bale was every bit the perfect blend between batman and bruce wayne
The best of both worlds, quite literally.
I love that the scene where Bruce reveals he bought Wayne Enterprises is the most replayed/watched part of the video
Lol
Mr. Earl's face falls real quick. And I love how Bruce says "It's all a bit technical..." just like Earl said to him when Bruce asked him who was buying up the stock. And then Fox puts the last nail in the coffin by throwing Earl's own line back on him too - "Didn't you get the memo?" LOLLOLLOLLOL They both got their revenge on Mr. Earl!
I love how Christian Bale nailed the three sides of Bruce Wayne. He nailed Batman very well, channeling the kind of anger and pain Bruce would exhume as Batman and intimidated the normal every night criminal very effectively. While people make fun of his voice, it’s smart he’d have to change it considering how Bruce Wayne is well known and people would know his voice, it also works due to the more grounded version of the character he’s playing. He got the playboy version of Bruce Wayne down where he seems a bit full of himself, to where people see him as too self absorbed to be selfless enough to be Batman as well as being a very good philanthropist while being a billionaire, which also comes into his portrayal as the real Bruce that people like Alfred Fox, Rachel and eventually Blake and Selina see, where he’s able to actually be himself and not have a persona around those he’s close with. He’s the best Bruce Wayne/Batman to me.
I really liked how well put and formulated that was, especially in regards to you describing the three identities. You’re absolutely right, it’s not just playboy billionaire, and Batman with very little emotions, striking fear into the villains. But at his core, theres also that boy who lost his parents years ago and is forever hurt and never at peace.
@@kingofcondiments thank you very much!
"You should see my other one" batmobile?? Lol
Genius, playboy, billionaire, philantropist.
Wait...
Sounds like someone, we know right?
@@kingofcondiments Yea. Tony Stank right?
Bale’s portrayal of Bruce Wayne is literally just him toning down his portrayal of Patrick Bateman. And I fucking love it
I don't think of it that way...Patrick is very much like a fish out of water among his peers. Bale plays him so that you can see him struggling to be normal but the trouble is, he doesn't even KNOW what's normal. Listen to Patrick talk about liners notes of albums and such and you see just how hard he has to try to even be conversational. In contrast, Bale's Billionaire Playboy persona fits in among his peers like a glove. Yes - the Playboy is eccentric - but he blends right in with the Trust Fund Brigade with ease.
I think what people key into is that both Patrick and the Playboy are putting on act to hide who they really are underneath. They both come across as "monied" and arrogant and pretentious. But I don't see the Playboy as a toned-down version of Patrick. That's my take on it but I do see why people say that.
Bruce is just Bateman's alter.
@@redline841 nope
You should've let that clip play out where Bruce suggests putting tables together when Harvey says he doesn't know if they can but then Bruce says they should because he owns the place lok
I’m sorry about that, I’m a very sloppy editor
He's very good, but Nolan is incredible. I think we'll see Pattinson find this in Reeves's next.
Nice name.
Wasn't even close
@@vrixmorr what wasn't close to what?
I hope so
Batman Begins is still my fav of the trilogy for how it managed to give us time to feel the differences in Bruce’s public billionaire facade, intimidation tactics as Batman and of course his own personality and ambitious drive. Too many filmmakers just showcase Bruce’s attitude being the same in private and wearing the cowl which it isn’t.
“I’m a dude playing a dude disguised as ANOTHER DUDE”
finally he can have a dinner at Dorsia
The video ends a couple seconds too early.
I'm sure they'll let us move the tables together, I own the place
I’m terribly sorry about that, your right
2:45 when Patrick finally booked for Dorsia
Good for him :)

The greatest Batman/Bruce Wayne and it’s not even close.
“So your into ballet” 💀💀💀
Bruce: sees Bat-Signal and has to go
Gordon:”where are you going?”
Bruce:” I have to return some video tapes…”
snyder's bruce:
"i bought the bank", "i'm rich"
Nolan's bruce:
doesn't talk about being rich
he is the money and puts the spoiled brat act so perfectly
Absolutely valid
"You should see my other one" always gets me lmaoo
"Right Mr. Fox"
...
...

"Bruce, I called you from my office"
patrick bateman when rich
0:55 this scene could be in american psycho and no one would notice
Couldn’t agree more, I’d be curious if Nolan didn’t get some inspiration from American Psycho.
You can see some patrick bateman vibes seeping out of him during his performance as bruce
Impressive let's see Paul Allen's version of Bruce wayne.
“What are your super powers again?” ‘I’m rich.” Indeed, what a joy it must be.
Bale best batman and best bruce and such a good actor
Batman 89 was a bit too new wave,but once batman begins was released, it really came into its own both artistically and commercially, the whole movie has a crisp,clear feel to it, a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the movie a big boost, he's been compared to Michael keaton,but I think Christian bale has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
I really hope to see Battinson in the next movie act the same
I hope he doesn't. I don't think that version of Gotham would work with the billionaire playboy. I could see him putting on a similar persona, but not acting the exact same way
@@errwhattheflip Yeah, he'd likely be a more social philanthropist, but the spoiled playboy features won't necessarily work all that well imo.
@@FrancisCastiglione Yeah, that's how I see it too.
@@FrancisCastiglione I actually hope he will have to balance it out. Like for instance he will have to rpetend to be a spoiled brat in order to enter circles of the very top of society where rich people who only want to do good arent welcome. Batman needs the Bruce Wayne mask sometimes to gather more intel about the people who arent hiding in the dark when comitting their crimes and those people dont hang out with philantropists…
Yes very much so
This is like I'm looking at Bateman living his life if he wasn't a sociopath
This is a good impression of Bruce Wayne, now lets see Paul Allens
Others have said it as well but it bears repeating. Christian bale is an amazing batman, one of if not the best, but he is the best Bruce Wayne. There is no debate. If I were to imagine Bruce Wayne and his personality, I would think of what bale portrayed and he portrayed it perfectly, like nobody else ever could.
Absolutely
