Bale Bat No More

News from late November: Christian Bale will no longer try to make us believe he can be convincing as a superhero, as he will don the Bat-cape for the last time in next summer's The Dark Knight Rises.

Don't get me wrong: the first two Bale-Christopher Nolan batflicks were very good, well written, well directed, decently acted, superbly filmed. But there is no way in fucking hell Bale, as Bruce Wayne, was credible as the world's best-looking billionaire playboy (Brad Pitt would probably have been a much better choice), and growling like an out-of-breath pedophile while crouching does not a scary avenger make.

Just sayin'.

Racist Batman (Parody)

Those who know me know of my affection for comic books, especially the character Batman.

By night - or whenever there is crime to fight - he is The Bat, The Dark Knight, the big scary creature expertly-trained in all forms of combat protecting the innocents from dangerous criminals.

By day - or when there are really hot women to seduce - he is Bruce Wayne, the most intelligent, classy and beautiful guy on the planet - he's Brad fucking Pitt, not Christian Bale - a 10, not a B+.

In any event, I fell on a nice parody of the Bale-Batman, showing racism in a conversation with someone playing Commissioner Gordon the Gary Oldman way. Enjoy.
