Christian Bale reveals he has not watched Ben Affleck in the latest Batman movies.
Bale shared that piece of information on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, although his non-viewing is not really intentional.
“I have not [seen Ben Affleck’s Batman]. Yes, I’m interested [in seeing it], my son seemed like he was really interested, but then I realized he just wanted to see the trailer and that was it. I tend to go see films that [my kids] want to see. I have to confess I’m not a huge superhero film fan. People seem surprised at that, I don’t know why. I’ve not seen any of the Avengers films or any of those films at all. I hear they’re very good, but I’m quite happy just hearing they’re very good.”
There are plenty of actors who are excited to play superheroes, but Bale admits he was not a big Batman fan before he started working on the films.
“I didn’t have knowledge of the graphic novels or the comics,” I wasn’t an avid fan, but when I had seen the Adam West series, I really enjoyed it. I had seen some of the other films. I was ambivalent about them. It was Frank Miller’s Batman: Year One that was such a surprise to me.”
I guess this destroys the possibility of all the TV and movie versions of Batman appearing in a major movie together.
