If you’re keen to hear what Bale’s future projects might be, then we’ve got a big concept for you in the form of what role we think he’d be best at tackling next. While he’s had a range of different roles, from a paranoid insomniac in The Machinist to Batman himself. So, the next ideal role for cinema’s most committed and renown method actor? Why, a poker player, of course.
There have been many films centring around poker or featuring the game in some way since Bale’s film career began. But while the James Bonds and other casino fans are omnipresent in cinema, they’re usually a little too cocky, a little too arrogant, and it’s this sort of mindset in poker that, to anyone familiar with the game, whether they’re http://www.partypoker.com/ fans or professional poker players.
One of the reasons that Bale would be ideal is that he understands the seriousness of such a role, so it would be great to see him in a film about poker that dealt with the sport in a very careful, considered manner. Perhaps pitting him against other actors who embody poker archetypes, like the cocky monster of Jack Nicholson, or the ice-cold demeanour of Robert De Niro.
If you’re yet to see Bale play any roles where super-calm is the name of the game, why not try American Psycho? While he does tend to, er, flip out, from time to time, a lot of the time he’s cool as a cucumber and isn’t bothered by anything. There’s also an amusing scene involving cards and obsession in the film, but they’re business cards, unfortunately!
All we can do is wait to see what Bale has in store for us as fans, but until then, we can but hope he suits up (but not in the Batsuit), goes to Vegas, and sits down with a hand of cards and that cold face of his on. Why so serious, Bale? Oh no, he’s got a royal flush!

It seems that first time director Wally Pfister is getting together a fantastic cast for his directorial debut Transcendence. It was reported last week that Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp was set to star in the movie and now it appear that Wally has added more male firepower to his movie.
The Dark Knight Rises star Christian Bale is the latest name to be linked to Transcendence and, since the movie is set to have three male leads, Christian could find himself working alongside Johnny Depp. That is some superb casting and we would love to see them both on the big screen together.
Christian Bale is no stranger to Wally Pfister, having worked with the cinematographer on four separate movies, Batman Begins in 2005, The Prestige in 2006, The Dark Knight in 2008 and The Dark Knight Rises in 2012. However, this will be the first time that he has worked with Wally in the director’s chair.
Wally Pfister is currently following the trend, set by The Dark Knight Rises director Christopher Nolan, and is keeping the plot to Transcendence very under wraps. It is expected that Transcendence will begin filming in the winter with a release date yet to be confirmed.

Batman star Christian Bale refused to tell his co-star Liam Neeson the plot of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’, despite the ‘Taken 2′ star appearing in the film.
Neeson, who reprised his role as R’as Al Ghul from ‘Batman Begins’ for the final movie, was told pretty brusquely by Bale that he wouldn’t be finding out the plot from him according to the Irish actor.
Neeson told MTV: “I went and shot a scene for two hours with Christian Bale. There was a set, and Christian was tied up.
“I said, ‘Chris, what am I doing?’ [Nolan said,] ‘Um… well, just walk forward, and say the lines, walk back, and that’ll be it, really.’
“I said, ‘What the f**k? Tell me the story!’ [He said,] ‘Um… I’d prefer not to, really’. ‘Okay, don’t mind me – I’m just an actor!’”
Well, we knew that the plot details of Christopher Nolan’s conclusion to his epic Batman trilogy was secret, but this just sounds silly.
Still, it will have had one benefit for the actor, who’d have been able to watch the film without it being spoilt by knowing the ending.
Neeson has his new movie ‘Taken 2′ out this week, and we assume given his reaction to Bale’s snub that he at least had the courtesy to let his co-stars know what on Earth was going on.

Christian Bale, who stars in The Dark Knight Rises, is visiting the victims of the Aurora, Colo., shooting spree who were injured while watching a midnight showing of the movie.
According to a local Denver TV reporter, Bale was seen entering the hospital where many of the wounded are being treated.
One of them, Carey Rottman, posted a Facebook photo of himself with Bale at his bedside.
“Mr. Bale is there as himself, not representing Warner Brothers,” an assistant for Susan Fleishman, executive vice president for Warner Brothers corporate communications, tells the Denver Post.
Bale, who was in Europe with the rest of the cast to promote the film when news of the killings broke last week, released a statement Friday offering his condolences to the victims and their families.
“Words cannot express the horror that I feel,” he said Friday. “I cannot begin to truly understand the pain and grief of the victims and their loved ones, but my heart goes out to them.”
Twelve people were killed including a 6-year-old girl, and more than 50 were wounded when a gunman opened fire on the audience. James Holmes, the suspected shooter, was in court Monday in Centennial, Colo. He has been held in solitary confinement without bond.
