The Dark Knight was without a doubt one of the better comic hero movies for me. Unlike the rest which heavily relied on stunts and special effects, this one actually has a credible plot, and it got us feeling for the characters. Besides Heath Ledger who closed his acting career with style & splendour as the ruthless Joker, we also have a pretty alluring Batman.
What I perhaps like about Christian Bale is the fact that he is not a typical beauty, plus he chooses challenging and unconventional roles to play. Take for instance his excellent portrayal of a chronic imsoniac in The Machinist, where he reduced himself by 60 pounds (27 kilos) by living on a crash diet of just apples and coffee. The outcome come was hauntingly convincing.

Christian is manly by nature. Although his looks may fit better in villainous roles, he remains attractive. I particularly liked his looks in Harsh Times and The Prestige.
Christian is a Welsh-born English actor, in 1974. He will soon star as John Connor in Terminator Salvation. He started catching the eye of the public when he acted in Steven Spielberg's Empire Of The Sun when he was only 13.
Recently he's involved in a rather controversial negative publicity, where he's facing allegations that he assaulted his mother and sister at a London hotel. Read about it here.
