The new face of Bruce Wayne. Bale had to re-gain weight for this part
after losing sixty pounds for The Machinist
I guess I am sticking to the Comic Book Genre with
some news on the upcoming Batman Begins starring Christian Bale
as the new Bruce Wayne. I personally love Christian Bale and feel that there
couldn't have been a better choice for Batman. I am also excited
that Batman Begins is using a new director, Christopher Nolan.
This change almost guarantees that we will not have another homoerotic foo-foo
version such as the last two films in the series. Christopher Nolan is known
for other dark films such as Memento and Insomnia.

The website for Batman Begins, The website for Batman Begins, batmanbegins.warnerbros.com,
has recently posted new images from the film including my favorite, an image
of the main villain, Ra's Al Ghul, played by Ken Watanabe. Again, can't
help but be excited for the casting choices. I fell in love with Ken Watanabe's
acting ability in the film The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise. He
was badass in that film and he looks just as tough in the new Batman.
Ken Watanabe looks sweet as the main villain, Ra's Al Ghul
Other images include those of the new [old?] batmobile and other supporting cast. A cast that includes
Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Katie Holmes [think she'll go topless again?], and
Tom Wilkinson.
