Christian Bale talks a Little Batman

bale3.jpgI’ve been thrilled about the casting of Christian Bale for the new Batman ever since the day his selection was announced (don’t believe me? see this post from over a year ago). Everything I’ve seen since has only fuled this excitment I have about the film. Bale is perfect for the dark knight. He has rugged-squarejawed good looks, a great build, a dark and bruding presence, but most importantly the guy is a killer actor. I came across this interview he recently did with Sci-Fi Wire and I thought I’d point you guys to it. It’s pretty interesting stuff. Here’s an excerpt:

As for the newly designed suit, Bale said that it helped him get a feel for the caped crusader, whom he characterizes as “a creature” that is not quite human. “I felt like a panther the first day, you know?” Bale said, referring to the first shooting day he strode onstage in full Batman regalia. “I did feel like some kind of wild animal. I don’t know if anybody else was looking at me like that way [laughs]. I don’t know if I appeared quite as ferocious as I felt that I did. But I really felt like everybody was kind of looking at me [mimes backing away in fear], you know, jumpy. And … it makes you feel, you know, like that, you want to kind of run and jump at people and beat the crap out of them.

I love it. This may be the film I am most looking forward to now… unless they announce “The Hobbit” anytime soon.
