Christian Bale is Batman

"What I see in Christian is the ultimate embodiment of Bruce Wayne. He has exactly the balance of darkness and light that we were looking for." - Batman "prequel" director, Christopher Nolan, on casting Bale as the Dark Knight.

This Batman film will start lensing next February. Gothamist is glad that Warner Bros. chose Bale, who was our pick to play Bruce Wayne. We can't wait for the first leaked photographs of Bale in costume.
