Christian Bale is the hottest movie Batman EVAH!!!11!!
Megan's ticket is pre-sold.
I do think he's one of the best choices ever for the role. He's got the dark and he can snark. And he can also play Bruce with various degrees of pretty and vapid.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

which is to assasinate murderers.
Well, to be more specific, mass murderers. People that orchestrate deaths on the scale, of, oh say 10k and up...

Bah. He looks generic. George Clooney and Val Kilmer are WAY hotter.
However, they were NOT good at playing Bruce/Batman. (Though I think Val could have pulled off the fucked-upped-ness, but the story didn't really go that way.)

Not always. True, there were lots of genocidal tyrants, but he also had to go after the occasional teen thrill killer. One thing that added a lot of flavor to the whole book was that the alien's notion of justice differed quite a bit from that of the hero. Also? Heads in jars way before Futurama.

Clooney is hot, but Kilmer's freaky looking.
Bale's actually, to my eye, slightly more unusual looking than either of them (and I've seen Bale in a LOT of stuff, starting when he was a wee lad), to the point that I was worried he wouldn't be traditionally handsome enough (sorry, Matt) to do Bruce. (Bale is able to look supremely dorky and unhandsome when the role calls for it. The role I've seen him in most often, it called for it. The CB in my head is an awkward young gay boy with horrible outfits and a dopey grin.)

Does he ever turn to the camera and say, "And now we're going to suck corporate cock!" with a big grin?

I so wish I'd seen that.
Because he would. With lipstick.

I can't even.

Isn't that what he usually plays?
He's too, I dunno, meta? po-mo? for me. And the thought of him as Bats, well, means more of BaleBats for them as wants 'em.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Has no one here seen American Psycho? Buff beyond belief and just a hint of regret that he's gone too far (after, say, killing friends and prostitutes). Perfect for Bats in my book.
The scene with Jared Leto and the Huey Lewis monologue is about the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life.
