With the opening of Batman: The Dark Knight in
theaters this week, we take a look at the hottest star in
Hollywood. He has landed some of the most coveted
roles in Hollywood. He exploded on to the star scene
with the most anticipated movie since Batman & Robin.
Before Batman Begins aired on the big screen, Christian
Bale was not a household name, but after millions had seen him
as Bruce Wayne in the new Batman movie, he gained overnight
attention, success and recognition. Bale finally seemed to have
reached the coveted “Star“ status.
Newsies, Little Women, Reign of Fire & Equilibrium.
More recently, he stared in a cowboy adventure, 3:10 to Yuma; a remake of the 1957 film directed by Delmer Daves, staring Glenn Ford (Ben Wade) & Van Heflin (Dan Evans).
Bale (Evans), opposite his charismatic antagonist and co-star, Russel Crowe, rush to get the infamous murderer, outlaw Ben Wade (Crowe) aboard the prison car of the 3:10 train bound for Yuma.
Bale then stared in The Prestige, playing a talented magician next to his best friend Robert (Hugh Jackman), a fellow magician. Following an unfortunate accident during one of their magic tricks (in which Robert’s wife drowns), Bale is accused of killing her. The friends separate and continue their careers as magicians, but Robert obsessively pursues the idea that Alfred (Bale) caused the untimely death of his wife.
Returning in the Batman sequel,
Christian Bale continues his climb to
Bale has claimed yet another coveted role playing John Conner in the new instillation of Terminator.
John Conner resides in the year 2018, surviving the continued apocalypse of Earth's human occupants by the dreaded Skynet, a robotic army out to annihilate the entire human race.
Terminator Salvation is not considered to be Terminator 4. This is the first movie in a brand new trilogy all it's own. This will be a Terminator you've never seen before. There will be a whole new twist to the traditional Terminator story line you're use to hearing.
How exciting!
Another smash hit for Bale.
Where will this Hollywood Super Star go next I wonder?

Interesting post. I've loved the Terminator series and I can't wait for the new one to come out. I have not seen the latest Batman movie but I will as soon as I can. Christian Bale played one of the best Bruce Wayne/Batman characters out of all of the recent Batman movies I've seen.
