He's one hella of an actor though, in fact, one of my favorites.

It takes balls to loose all that weight...not good for the body. Gotta give him mad props for doing that...

Yup especially when, he was set to play Batman no expression

People say hes over rated but seeing The Machinist, The Prestige and even Harsh Times (when his acting is at times a bit iffy in HT) you cant say a bad word about him, and the presence he has on screen smile

He's the best thing about the Shaft movie without a doubt.

I thought his acting was great in Harsh Times. It's just that it's weird hearing him speak 'ghetto slang', while he many people have an image made up in their minds of him being a very sophisticated man.

it's one of my favourite movies and his acting was mostly spot on,

it just seemed a little forced at times.

The story keeps getting disturbing. Alledgly his mother show up all drunk and abusive and he had her removed...that's when the sister jump in. That's what the press said so far. Gosh, this is just sad.

Sounds like there was mitigating circumstances, if his mother was drunk & abusive toward him; I hope so, and this story is getting blown out of proportion. He's never been known for this behaviour.

Yeah, this story seems very odd. There's definitely something going on that hasn't been revealed yet. No way I'm passing judgement on Bale until the whole truth comes out.

They probably demanded some cash since TDK is breaking records, Bale still high off of playing such a badass probably gave them a Bat-chop or two and now they're flinging shit around hoping he'll bat-cave in and drop a few quid their way.

He got the shit kicked out of him in acting ability by Ledger.

*shrug* He's still cool though. He does a good job of playing emotionless pieces of cardboard, like in Equilibrium.

Just because Ledger got to act outrageous and be crazy, and Bale had to be tightly controlled of his emotions, doesn't mean Ledger out performed him. It's not Bale's job to match what Ledger's doing; they each had a very different character to play.
Bale is right up there with Daniel Day-Lewis as a method actor, with what he puts his body & mind through to get a part right.

Bale is far the better actor overall, you crazy negro.

Watch: Empire of the Sun, American Psycho, The Machinist. You'll see.

Looking forward to seeing him in "Killing Pablo", should be a great flick.
