Christian Bale Admits Envy Of Ben Affleck, Wanted To Be Batman Again
What could have been…
In an interview in Empire Magazine, actor Christian Bale finally made his feelings public about not playing the iconic role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
“I’ve got to admit initially, even though I felt that it was the right time to stop, there was always a bit of me going, ‘Oh go on… Let’s do another.’ So when I heard there was someone else doing it, there was a moment where I just stopped and stared into nothing for half an hour.”
Bale continues…
“But I’m 40,” he adds. “The fact that I’m jealous of someone else playing Batman…I think I should have gotten over it by now. I haven’t spoken with Ben, but I emailed him offering bits of advice that I learned the hard way. I would imagine he is doing everything he can to avoid anything that I did.”
I enjoyed Christopher Nolan’s Batman Trilogy for the most part. In my opinion I think it Bale had made a stronger push for the role, he probably would have received his wish. But, what’s done is done. Hopefully Ben Affleck will do a great job as the Caped Crusader.

I never understood interventions. What’s the point of being told you drink too much from a room full of reasons why you drink in the first place?
