Bale on Batman: Jesus with a twist of a American Psycho

He's very much an American psycho of sorts and, yeah, also certainly has Christ-like symptoms," Bale said in an interview at WonderCon in San Francisco last weekend. "And, yeah, you know, [you see it in] the battle between [his] spirit and ... flesh and, with Bruce Wayne, the battle between the philanthropy his father taught him and was a great example to him for and the need for vengeance, which is incredibly strong."

He's Jesus meets an 80s yuppie with delusions of grandeur? Can anyone explain this to me?

  • I think I understand. I think it makes sense. Batman is very righteous. He has the philanthropy as Bruce Wayne and feels passionately about helping others, while at the same time, he's a fucking nut. You'd have to be to dress up as a bat and wander around at night looking for crime and making plans for 'just in case this were to happen' or 'just in case that were to happen'. You know the ones. The ones that always get stollen and used against him.
