RUMOR: Bale beat up for Batman 3


There’s a photo floating around of Christian Bale. He looks like he got his ass handed to him sideways by someone that apparently could handle himself better than Bale. It’s possible that this photo is from TDKR as a makeup test or something, and it’s entirely possible that this is for a completely unrelated movie. I can’t tell. So, I decided to ask the experts!

International friends: Look at this photo. Look at his eyes. Is this the face of a man that met a man on super-steroids in a dark alley, or is this something else altogether?

  1. I’m not sure what the OP is actually asking, but if you are asking if its fake, the answer is ‘yes’.

    It’s the liveliness and comfort in his left eye that gives it away. Of course, it’s also doubtful Bale would let somebody take such a close-up photo of him with these kinds of bruises.

    Anyway, this looks more like a photo from ‘The Fighter’, you know, that movie he won an Oscar for (that he was amazing in).

  2. Speculation is a waste of time and energy. I say we let the natural order divulge details as they become available. In the meantime, let’s move on with our lives.

    1. Speculation is not a waste of time and energy. Discussion grows from speculation, interaction and enlightenment grows from discussion.

      What is a waste of time and energy is to try and belittle someone for having fun speculating on a movie image.

      You act like you have never formed an opinion based on a snippet of information just for fun??

      1. Who’s sensitive? You came and posted a statement that basically undermines the very reason most people come to this site to begin with.

        Open exchange of ideas, speculation, opinion. Its all fair game here.

  3. I remember seeing this photo a while back and it was being described as a make-up test. That might explain the facial hair…or its a flashback…

  4. In the time when he was being a part of the criminal underworld in BMB he had this same facial hair. My guess if it is for TDKR it is a flash back scene showing his time leading up to the leauge of shadows.

    There were scenes in India right well those curtains look Indian to me.

      1. or maybe bruce wayne has facial hair in this movie for a little while anyways. his eyes aren’t red and he’s in a bathrobe… so who knows.

    1. occasionally he lets 5 o’clock shadow in comic, when he is hard at solving a case. Like one scene in Batman: Hush, when he found out by nightwing for staying up for days cracking the Hush mystery.
