BATMAN and SUPERMAN sittin' in a tree'
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with the first of two interesting comic book rumors... this one originated at DARK HORIZONS from a fan who supposedly met Christian Bale and got some mighty tasty words outta him regarding the future of BATMAN... It may very well include the future of SUPERMAN... Read on for the story!
'Frequent Flyer' claims to have met the lovely Christian Bale at Heathrow last week and dropped in this: "He's still quite bulky from the Batman part! Anyway, I said Hi, got an autograph, wished him luck with Batman (asked me if I was going to see it - like, duh) and I said I hoped he's back for Batman again. "Two more actually, and then Brandon Routh, the new Superman, and I, are doing Batman vs. Superman as a movie". Is that a scoop?". You bet it is honey.
Now could this have been a prank on Bale's part? Was he just pulling this poor person's leg? Did this ever happen at all? Would Wolfgang Peterson still be involved if this is true? I don't know, but it's certainly interesting.
For more SUPERMAN news you can go over to BLUE TIGHTS.NET and see our first glimpse of Brandon Routh's Superman curl and smile as well as pics of the yummy-yummy Kate Bosworth all brunette and reporter-like... not to mention the official new, updated Superman emblem being released at Superhero Hype!... Yeesh. Lotsa Super schtuff happenin' these days!

Honestly!! Christian Bale is NOT going to give away details of three upcoming movies to some anonymous autograph hunter. It would be mad. All these actors play hardball, so that they can get more money in the negotiations for future films. BTW, First
-
Gotta be bullshit. That guy just wants attention. Only someone craving attention would write "You bet it is honey."
-
My bet is Bale was just joking around with this comic book crazed stalker.
-
..as the Andrew Kevin Walker script did. I would also rather have Singer or Nolan than Petersen
-
Warners wouldn't have signed him otherwise.
-
Superman vs. Mohammad Ali
-
i think it's bullshit myself - but hope it isn't - does that make sense?
-
he said that he wanted to make an Alien vs Predator vs Superman vs Batman vs Resident Evil crossover. He said something about wanting to destroy every franchise he could possibly get his hands on before anyone else.
-
A brunette version now. Like the ones...my sister..used to play with...My sister..not me.

.... we're 20 posts into this TB and not one wanker has mentioned LOTR. Well done everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ; )
-
Hey, all of this was on 'Superhero Hype' and I think, 'Moviehole.news' more than a week ago.
Anyway, there's no way they wouldn't have signed Bale up to sequels, not after the fiasco of the last series.
Hey sworn52 enemy? Damn funny!
And I say this as someone who actually did meet Chris Reeve. Admitedly it was BEFORE his accident... -
Hulk Hogan is STILL Bald.
-
He broke all my teeth with the butt of his shotgun and pissed in my eyes. He's a mean bastard. Probably would be better at playing Lex Luthor than Spacey.
-
At least not on film. The logical step is after Batman Begins, create a new live action Batman show and call it "Batman in Progress." I know I'd watch that.

It'd be the right thing to do and a tasty way to do it.
-
Don't say that! Millar and Gough may use it for a Smallville plotline! Ah shit. The cat's out of the bag now!
-
You're an idiot. Bale is signed on for 2 Batman sequals but the chances of him even knowing Brandon Routh's name (if you read any Bale interviews you'll know what type of guy he is) never mind telling some fan at an airport about Bats Vs Supes are pretty frickin' slim! And I'm 100% confident he'd never do a film like that and wouldn't have signed his Batman contract if that was the case.
-
Im still laughing here. That Wilford Brimley stuff was golden.
-
And he stole a dude I know's fiancee. Fucking Patrick Batman.

It's SHITE!

Batman Begins and Superman Returns are (probably) going to have very different tones to each other. Superman is all flag waving and Batman is all angst and misery ;) I just wonder how they would put those two tones together without fucking each character up. And who the fuck would direct it and pull it off!?!?

I remember Wolfgang Peterson's script being approved and greenlit before being scatched to reintroduce both franchises. It may be why the cast the brillant but cheap Christian Bale and the unknown Roth...to ink the two into a deal for cheap to make the very expensive Bats v. Supes

I spoke to Christian Bale and had to tell him it was really mean of him to deliberately sound american so everyone would think the girl was a total liar - ''you bet it is, honey'' my ass .
-
He can't explain how he got the nip/tuck guys to give him breasts which awakened his wifes conflicted sexuality.They should make the Worlds finest mini by Dave Gibbons And Steve Rude and feature the short story from that Alex Ross mythology book.

Calling Harry a sell out is so 2003. Calling him fat is so last decade. Harping on people because they like things you don't has NEVER been popular.
-
It's a joke, dude -- lighten up. My post was a reaction to Harry CONSTANTLY waffling over how "Batman Begins" looks, while he went ga-ga yesterday over that stupid "Ghost Rider" motorcycle; it's also about the hilarity of people claiming all sorts of bullshit celeb encounters (and Valmont1978's "Celeb Sightings" post made me practically spray my cereal all over my keyboard.)
-
A few months ago, when I reported on the Millar/Knowles challenge and named it as, actually, a battle between Warner Brothers and Bryan Singer respectively, I also reported a rumour about the criteria for Bryan. That the actor be gay or closeted gay (and would come out during the promotion for the movie). That this would mirror themes within the movie, the concept of living two different lives, giving the project a meta-textuality. That Bryan would give young, scared, alone gay people a hero, an icon, a strong mainstream role model of their own. -
and he said Batman Begins will suck.
-
Make all the jokes you want, just come up with something fresh. I want to be entertained god damn it. Like who ever posted that shit about Wilford Brimley breaking his teeth. There's a funny mother fucker.

I was out chatting to friends when Bale walked past. I said "batman?" he said "yeah" and we walked and talked for hours. we ended up in a bar, just shooting the shit and obviously the drink began flowing. Bale was a very chatty guy and interested in my thoughts on the new Batman movie. Anyway, to cut a very long story short I woke up in a ball pool with no clothes on and "HAHA FUCKWIT" written on my chest in lipstick. I asked the owneer of the amusement arcade if he'd seen the actor Christian Bale and she said " yeah, he asked me to give you this" and she handed me a bag of bon-bons and a bowler hat with sleeves. I dont know if Bale wrote that on my chest or what the hat and sweets were for but either way he still owes me

Why not Bats vs. Supes? It's been done in the comics since gawd
by hanfiredfirst
They usually overcome the obvious problem (man with near-godlike powers versus mere mortal) either by a) conveniently making sure that Supes is temporarily weakened (kryptonite, etc) or b) having Bats pit his brains against Supes' brawn -- Supes generally not being known as the brightest bulb on the planet since after all he can solve just about any problem with his powers whereas Bats has to actually think things out. Of course, the big question is WHY the phuck two heroes would be fighting each other in the first place ... but that hasn't stopped Marvel, for instance, from having its heroes occasionally beat the crap out of each other over some misunderstanding or another.

by hanfiredfirst
Autograph hounding is really lame unless it's a cd or book authored by the celeb in question and they're there for that purpose. I live in H'wood and encounter some celeb or other on a monthly basis at least. If it's not someone I genuinely respect I won't give 'em a second look, and if it is it's better to compliment them on some recent project they did that you enjoyed and move along.

Now, the worst boner you could make with a celebrity...
by hanfiredfirst
...is probably mistaking someone for someone else, like mixing up Bill Pullman with Bill Paxton or John Doe or whatever and complimenting them on a film they weren't even in. Of course, in the example given it wouldn't make much difference anyway. The 2nd worst boner is to rag on some project they did. These fuckers are insecure enough as it is and most of 'em secretly KNOW they suck more often than not.

and he bumped back.

and I asked him what he'd been up to. His reply: "Just hanging out."

We were sitting around talking about what a comic genuis Redd Foxx was, when Hillary Duff and Shirley Hemphill came in and gave us all lapdances to the tune of "Disco Duck" as performed by Eminem and Tenille. Suddenly, Shields and Yarnell burst in, pantomimed that we should all get buck naked, and THAT is when the ghost of Freddie Prinze (sr) told us all that Mel Gibson would soon be playing the Silver Surfer in a new antisemitic version of the true life story of Galactus.

I was just pretending, because I didn't want to be the only one hadn't met anyone important. I know it's late in the game now, but I just wanted to get this out of my system, and share this with you all, for whatever it's worth.
