Has Christian Bale Lost Steam?

I saw that in theaters. We were the only people there.

If you think more people would attribute Brando to Supermans dad rather than The Godfather I must question whether you live in the same dimension as us.

That's actually my bad, I was in a rush and it was supposed to say "people would also probably say Superman's dad".

To keep on topic a bit more.

As Crook said, Bale has stated in a few interviews during TDK that he welcomes the challenge when any costars up the ante in a scene or the overall film. He's also made it known that he considers himself an actor not a "movie star", and likes to do what he loves and keeps to himself and his family. That's why you don't usually see him do a lot of late night talk show appearances and if paparazzi catch him running around he's definitely not warm to their cameras.

I think with those two factors Bale isn't loosing steam at all. I know some will use the fact that he played Batman and is now in a Terminator film, that he picked those roles to become a "big movie star" but I disagree. I think why people think he's loosing steam is because he doesn't always care to pick the lead or the spotlight character(see Public Enemies or even TS with how little screentime he got as John Connor).

Like he's said in past interviews, he likes certain characters and I believe he is picking his roles based on the character not based on what will make him more popular. Love him or hate him but for all those reasons I think he is a true actor who literally just wants to act and really doesn't give a damn about the celebrity status.

agreed

Ahhh the "also" makes a big difference

And I completely agree with Figs. Especially the last paragraph.

I'm surprised no one has made a "Steam coming out his ears" joke yet.

 

[Caped Crusader]

No.

It's in relation to his temper/rant on the Terminator set. In cartoons, especially Looney Tunes sometimes when characters would get really angry their faces would turn red and steam would shoot out of their ears.
