Right.

A bad acting choice? Sure, but thait's different from subpar acting in general. Bale has never phoned it in for the Batfilms and we were exceedingly lucky to have him.

[LibidoLoca]

I would prefer it if Superman becomes a government puppet ala TDKR at the end of MOS. There we go something to talk about.

Is Superman a republican or a democrat??

[Mysteryman]

Bale did a good job, it will be interesting to see what his Post Batman career will be like .

Supposedly DC had a minseries that revealed that information a few years ago .
Anybody read it ?
I believe it was called DECISIONS.

Okay, I looked it up.
They didnt reveal Supermans political leanings,but, Both Lois Lane and Power Girl were revealed to be conservatives.

[Mysteryman]

Apparenly this was a modern day imaginary story.
Or maybe not ,I forgot Los And Clark were once married.
Darn New 52 Reboot.

Probably the same as if he never played Batman.

[Mad Love]

Superman is above stupid human politics. He's a man of action.

[LibidoLoca]

In other words, he's an inbetweener.

Russell Crowe will be on Jay Leno Monday ! Man of steel discussion ?!

Yep! I just came here to post the same thing. Man of Steel is his next film, so hopefully he talks a lot about it!

Also, why does Leno get all the MoS actors? First it was Henry back in Nov 2011, then Amy a couple weeks ago, and now Crowe! I wonder when MoS actors will start appearing on other shows.

[craigdbfan]

Jay Leno always brings up Superman it seems when someone from the MoS cast is there. He'll most likely bring it up.

[LibidoLoca]

Jay Leno seems to be a major Superman fan. His love challenges Coco himself.

Well, he did win an Oscar.
I doubt he will fade into obscurity.

[Liam_H]

My point is that I believe his career trajectory would've been the same regardless of Batman.

I highly doubt that. It was one of the largest, most widely-acclaimed, most profitable trilogies in cinema. Sure, Bale's a good actor, and if you're trying to say that his talents would have been recognized regardless of Batman then I agree, but it's difficult for me to believe that his "career trajectory" would have been exactly the same without Batman.

Although, what exactly do you mean by "career trajectory," anyway? And by what means would that trajectory be measured?

(Shakes head)

He took a long break after doing 16+hr days for most of the 10 years he was on Smallville, but is now filming Parkland, a Tom Hanks produced JFK film

I'm not being an apologist for Smallville or Welling as both had their faults ...... just don't see the point in running the guy down with statements which aren't necessarily true.

I never said exactly the same. I believe his talents would've gotten him similar roles to showcase his talents. Sure being Batman gives him his choice of more mainstream/bigger movies but he's not interested in doing just those roles.
