Christian Bale Quote regarding playing Batman...

[mcflytrap]

Sorry if you've seen this. I just read it on IMDB and if it's true, it's very touching.

===================

"At first, I was somewhat hesitant to do the role. I mean, after all, Batman is an icon. But I remember, as clear as day, being at the grocery store the day the movie opened, and this little boy saw me. He couldn't have been more than five years old. He just walked right up to me and hugged me. He hugged me, and I was so moved by it that I hugged him back. Then he looked up at me and said "You're my hero." And in that moment, I knew that not only as an actor that I had done my job, but that I had made the right decision to play Batman. And I've never looked back on my the decision to play Batman since."- On his decision to play Batman

[Katsuro]

I think i'd have done the same thing as that little boy. He's freakin' Batman.

[batman44]

Wow, I've never read that before, very good quote.

[Super_Ludacris]

Nice quote, kinda boderline corny lol but still he's being honest about it

[Soap]

:):up::up::up:

[Two-Face]

[El Payaso]

It actually brought a tear to my eye.

[TRUE]

Bale Damnit

:up: Man wouldn't you have loved to be that kid. If I was 5 and got to see and talk to Batman, wow.

[batmaluco]

Bale Damnit :batman: :up:

[The Kid]

read it last year.

[The Fallen]

Lucky kid. I've love to met Bale, he's my acting hero. BALE FOR KING OF EARTH DAMNIT!

[JTStarkiller]

Bale is the coolest guy on Earth.

[BatMatt]

Read that awhile ago, the quote solidifys all that is good about Bale

[elorenishii386]

I think that is just the sweetest thing!
The quote reminds me of when tobey maguire was on some late night talk show and talked about how this little kid actually thought he was spiderman and asked him about everything like from aunt may to how he spins his web and stuff...and tobey maguire would reply to every question as if he were really spiderman. I thought that was pretty cool.

[mcflytrap]

It actually brought a tear to my eye.

Me, too. :(

[Clerk]

BALE FOR KING OF EARTH DAMNIT!


Bwhahahahhahahahaha, :D :up:

[spdrknight]

Makes me think Bale will still with the role and Batman and not be afraid of himself being known as the bat. Good sign for the future.

It, the quote, also made me smile.

Oh yeh? How about Schumacher taking charge of direction?

[Super_Ludacris]

impossible

BALE DAMMIT!!!!

[spdrknight]

Kind of negative, and thats is also far fetched... WB would not go down that road again. At least I hope not.

[ToddIsDead]

That's a very nice quote.

[Mr. Socko]

This is why Bale is so cool:up::up::up::)

[Fledermaus]

That is great. I like hearing stories about stars who don't act like asses all the time.

I read an article in a "60 Years of DC" book I have that George Reeves (the original Superman) hated meeting his young fans because they would "test his invulnerbility" by kicking and punching him. You can imagine where crotch-tall children would hit him.

[Mr. Socko]

LOL! Really

[Kevin Roegele]

I think i'd have done the same thing as that little boy. He's freakin' Batman.

Mate.....you should be able to judge the difference between a movie and reality better than a five year old.

He means the actor is playing Batman, not that he´s actually Batman... I guess...

**** I would hate the little bastards too. How is that acting like an ass? I probably would have killed a few of them.

[SpyderDan]

I remember reading this quote awhile back. It's still touching.

[Bat Attack]

Touching. :)

[Bat Attack]

You should have made Tim say "Ya know" atleast once. LOL.

[Metropolis_Man]

Good job Bale :) I would've hugged him as well, he's the best Batman yet.

[Fledermaus]

**** I would hate the little bastards too. How is that acting like an ass? I probably would have killed a few of them.

I don't think Reeves was being an ass. I'd punch a kid in the throat for kicking me in the jewels.

[SpyderDan]

I can't blame him. What kinda fan goes and kicks his hero in the nuts?

[LostSon88]

He did that at Wondercon 2004...I was in the audience and it was like a 4-5 year old kid with his dad, he was really cool about it. :up:

The boy acutally asked if he could websling and Tobey smiled and went, "I can't do it right now..."

[boywondernerdDC]

that is a great quote

[Mee]

Bizzaro?

[DV8]

man, you know . . . he really just seems like a guy I would hang out with . . .

[Darkred]

Thank god for bale. Can you believe (if the rumours were true) we d have some one like, ashton kutcher or jude law ect.....

[LostSon88]

Kutcher'd probably think he was gettin' punk'd and run away...

[El Payaso]

That kid will adopted by Bale and will be Robin.

[batmaluco]

That kid will adopted by Bale and will be Robin.
Nevah!

[Batman2005]

i've seen quite a few of bales films, and i've been a batman nut for over a decade. bale's absolutely the best person to play batman/wayne

[StorminNorman]

Wow, I am the reason Christian Bale loves his role :)

[Dark Guardian]

It actually brought a tear to my eye. Same.

[StorminNorman]

Paul Bettany and Chrisitan Bale are the two of the greatest actors in Hollywood who are great offstage as well as on. :up:

[Bat-God]

That's awesome.
