With the release of the new Terminator 4 trailer:
It occurred to me and a co-worker that Christian Bale should star in every sci fi role for the next several years. Some examples:
Dune - the perfect Paul Atreides. He's already got the skin suit look down.
Blade Runner (no remake scheduled) - We felt that Ed Norton would be the perfect Deckard and Bale should play Batty. We also agreed that we'd be incredibly geeked if Ed Norton ended up as the Riddler. Following that line of thought it became obvious that Bale and Norton should star together in every movie they do.
Superman - since Brandon Routh is out why not? Or maybe Bale would just be a good Bizarro or Cyclops? This discussion quickly deteriorated into how much we'd like to see a Doomsday/Superman movie.
OK, Tobey can stay on as Spider-man. And Robert Downey can be Iron Man.
And, at the very least, he should be a "red shirt" in Star Trek Zero.
I bet I can guess the identity of the dork/co-worker who agrees with you that CB is a badass.
I haven't been able to take him seriously since he did "Little Women."
But he did kick ass on his mom and his sister. wow. So badass.
