Christian Bale is cool. He was great in American Psycho (despite the 80s anti-Reagan satire that Freepers hate). I think he finally got over the hump with Batman Begins and will become a major star.
I think that Batman will make Bale a major star, too. Apparently he has very loyal fans who call themselves "Baleheads".
He was great in American Psycho ! Nerdy, scary , hunky and funny.
AND
I can't get over the fact that Christian Bale was the kid in Empire of the Sun.
He's a very good actor, and I do like what he has been in.
