He should have won an oscar for TDK imo he is the greatest actor ever. Yea sure Heaath were great but if you are looking at the character Batman he is suppose to be in the shadows while the joker is more out there. I cried in TDK because its so touching. the best blockbuster movie eever! Christian is the best batman ever!
I loved Heath in this movie, but the other actors don't get the credit they deserve, there would not be any kind of Batman movie if not for Christian Bale.
He should have won an Academy Award for this film. Incredible performances in all three films. Ledger was great, but without Bale the film wouldn’t have worked as you need the right actor as Bruce Wayne/Batman to work and he worked incredibly well. I’m glad he won an Oscar for The Fighter but he should have been nominated before then as well as have at least one Academy Award prior to his win for The Fighter.
@denimmatt Great comment man. It's a shame Bale is being unappreciated and hated on for no good reason. It actually seems like it's the in thing to hate Bale. When Batman Begins came out everyone loved him. What you said about Ledger is true. He would've said those words without a doubt. Ledger actually said in a radio interview that when he was working on set with Bale, he was marvelling at his talent and said that he has immense fun working with him because he threw himself into the role.
his accent changes quite often.... same with his weight and figure...wow he must be doing several diferent movies cause he is the type that goes all out in his movie roles
he should get a oscar for the fighter as well, bale will become the next robert dinero in how versital he plays roles, now for heath, well u can't stop destiny and god only know why but he was the best joker and will be for a very very very long time. and bale is next to keaten the best batman ever.
@ProjectLonely Thats the way he talks, he has kind of a watered down south african/welsh hybrid accent, makes sense since his father is South African, he was born in Wales, and his family moved around during his childhood
christian bale = next james bond. i hope so. having read the books, he's close 2 the character's looks. timothy dalton was the one that looked like the book's character the most
Thanks for sharing! Loved it... and it's one of the TDK interviews where he seems to quite enjoy himself :)...anyway, as to the accent... isn't there something Melvin Purvis about is, or is it just me? I'm not extremely great with accents... but he sounds nearly just like in Public Enemies... maybe a little less prominent than in the actual movie, but still :) It's different than his other accents, but I love it :) it's so adorable!
When they are talking about the 'Sears Tower' or what ever its called they show the part filmed in Hong Kong or Singapore or where ever in Asia it was filmed.
i think all of this method acting dilutes his character sometimes....right now i feel like im watching christian bale with a hint of bruce wayne...if you watch some of his earlier interviews he acts differently
that day when alfred said know your limits.and bruce says batman has no limits.well those may come in to play in the dark knight rises when he and bane go at it
@TheSpoofMan3 Yeah, Christian takes his work very seriously and has said he would never do a comedy, like a romantic comedy, though he felt that American Psycho was a comedy or satire, rather.
well he is a great actor but the joker is who makes this movie perfect I would it wished that we would had another one but without heath ledger (sorry if i spelled this wrong) the movie won't be the same
Well... but they also say that he did a pitch perfect copy of the way Melvin's son talked and he talked like Melvin... the family says he did a perfect job at getting it right sooo... :) I believe they're right and I certainly thought it ws great :)... who's australien? :S
Bale is an excellent actor. I wish in Batman 3 he would revert back to using his voice from Batman Begins and not TDK. One thing I always wonder, is Bale very serious in person? I mean he comes off as someone who barely laughs or likes to make jokes. Is he like that? I also wonder about why there are no gag-reels or outtakes from his movies.
It's because he spends so much time doing different accents on top of being a method actor. He never really had a Welsh accent, but his original British accent has gotten kinda messed up. He sounds a little Australian now. You can hear his natural accent in the apology he made after his meltdown on Terminator Salvation.
Na it's not.. its a known fact that he kept his american accent during interviews so he didn't put off american audiences as they were worried if they saw a welsh men playing an iconic american figure it would damage its box office chances Watch other interviews not from the batman era and you'll see his real accent
I really like this movie and it is probably the best batman movie as far as how well it was filmed and for some of the acting, but honestly I cant quite bring myself to say it's my favorite.
christian balen, morgan freeman, michael cain, heat ledger, gary oldman! and cristopher nolan directing them!! i don`t need anymore!!! nothing at all!!!
Round for news reality come peacher Care don't maker strongest start again all doing passing knew matter rest i Can watching formation early passing something try Care even question what Is take in does for found stand coming look around breaking some i know more
Him explaining the different personalities of batman gives me chills. He must know the character so well.
U can tell Bale is just sooooooo proud of this movie
The most successful batman for sure, what a legend...
He should have won an oscar for TDK imo he is the greatest actor ever. Yea sure Heaath were great but if you are looking at the character Batman he is suppose to be in the shadows while the joker is more out there. I cried in TDK because its so touching. the best blockbuster movie eever!
Christian is the best batman ever!
I loved Heath in this movie, but the other actors don't get the credit they deserve, there would not be any kind of Batman movie if not for Christian Bale.
agree 100%
Christian bale is awesome love him
❤ him
Bruce Wayne/Alfred moments were my favorite parts of the film.
He should have won an Academy Award for this film. Incredible performances in all three films. Ledger was great, but without Bale the film wouldn’t have worked as you need the right actor as Bruce Wayne/Batman to work and he worked incredibly well. I’m glad he won an Oscar for The Fighter but he should have been nominated before then as well as have at least one Academy Award prior to his win for The Fighter.

"DAMN STRAIGHT I DID"! lmao go christian
his accent changes quite often.... same with his weight and figure...wow he must be doing several diferent movies cause he is the type that goes all out in his movie roles
Is that a smile I see, Christian?
I wish i could see him smile more, he is gorgeous.
he should get a oscar for the fighter as well, bale will become the next robert dinero in how versital he plays roles, now for heath, well u can't stop destiny and god only know why but he was the best joker and will be for a very very very long time. and bale is next to keaten the best batman ever.
Not Polish, but he sounds like a mix of British and American. Although, he's Welsh-born British.
He reminds me of my accent...
I like that he emphasizes that he played 3 characters in this movie
He is an amazing actor and a amazing man too...i love his accents
i know, Harsh Times would NOT be the same without his intense performance. he was insane lol.
Great to see Christian Bale will likely have an Oscar of his own by the time The Dark Knight Rises begins shooting. Great actor.
You predicted it right!
Christian Bale is a legend
@masterofstealthcj In an interview, Bale said that he likes to use whatever accent the movie required in all his interviews following the release.
He is forever batman for me
@ProjectLonely Thats the way he talks, he has kind of a watered down south african/welsh hybrid accent, makes sense since his father is South African, he was born in Wales, and his family moved around during his childhood
christian bale = next james bond. i hope so. having read the books, he's close 2 the character's looks. timothy dalton was the one that looked like the book's character the most
Bale is now playing John Connor in an upcomming new terminator film!
I love bale I’m a huge fan greatest Batman ever
Thanks for sharing! Loved it... and it's one of the TDK interviews where he seems to quite enjoy himself :)...anyway, as to the accent... isn't there something Melvin Purvis about is, or is it just me?

I LOVE CB!!
I cant watch when Ledger gets oscar(well deservered) and all big time actors(male) crying, makes me cry!!
When they are talking about the 'Sears Tower' or what ever its called they show the part filmed in Hong Kong or Singapore or where ever in Asia it was filmed.
Why does 2008 Bale look like CM Punk?
i think all of this method acting dilutes his character sometimes....right now i feel like im watching christian bale with a hint of bruce wayne...if you watch some of his earlier interviews he acts differently
I completly agree!
Heath Ledger is the greatest actor in the history of humankind.
that day when alfred said know your limits.and bruce says batman has no limits.well those may come in to play in the dark knight rises when he and bane go at it
@TheSpoofMan3 Yeah, Christian takes his work very seriously and has said he would never do a comedy, like a romantic comedy, though he felt that American Psycho was a comedy or satire, rather.
well he is a great actor but the joker is who makes this movie perfect I would it wished that we would had another one but without heath ledger (sorry if i spelled this wrong) the movie won't be the same
no they shot that falling/flying part with cg
his accent is different in so many interviews....what is his natural accent?
A chamaleon !!
Welsh
@snatchX626 No. Shit. Notice my comment was posted 6 months ago BEFORE Hardy was cast in the film.
Well... but they also say that he did a pitch perfect copy of the way Melvin's son talked and he talked like Melvin... the family says he did a perfect job at getting it right sooo... :) I believe they're right and I certainly thought it ws great :)... who's australien? :S

where's his welsh accent?
so did christian bale actully flew down the tower in the moviee
It's because he spends so much time doing different accents on top of being a method actor. He never really had a Welsh accent, but his original British accent has gotten kinda messed up.

@EyeOnTheTV tom hardy has been officially announced as Bane.
Na it's not.. its a known fact that he kept his american accent during interviews so he didn't put off american audiences as they were worried if they saw a welsh men playing an iconic american figure it would damage its box office chances
Watch other interviews not from the batman era and you'll see his real accent
@denimmatt Nope, he just won the oscar.
I really like this movie and it is probably the best batman movie as far as how well it was filmed and for some of the acting, but honestly I cant quite bring myself to say it's my favorite.
Well, then, what _is_ your favorite Batman? I'm curious.

Tom Hardy for Riddler
christian balen, morgan freeman, michael cain, heat ledger, gary oldman! and cristopher nolan directing them!! i don`t need anymore!!! nothing at all!!!

yeah..but his accent doesn't sound completely British..just saying.
@maiwandi2 you just found out? stay out of that cave
