Now this would be one hell of a Cameo. According to Christian Bale, Russell Crowe is doing a cameo in Dark Knight, the new batman film currently filming. The folks over at Moviehole give us this:
According to IF Magazine, Russell Crowe has a cameo in “The Dark Knight” – no doubt enticed into playing a part by pal and “3:10 to Yuma” co-star Christian Bale. Bruce Wayne himself says “”Russell’s going to actually be in the new BATMAN movie, which is a big surprise and I want to reveal it to everybody right now,”
Now this isn’t really all that far fetched. From what I understand, Christian Bale and Russell Crowe really hit it off while filming 3:10 To Yuma together. It’s really not a stretch for Bale to pick up the phone and say “Yo Russ-Man. Remember when you got hammered and started doing blow off the stomach of that Tranny hooker and you begged me not to tell anyone… ya well I got a little favor I want you to do for me…”
Ok, maybe that’s not exactly how the conversation went. And perhaps Bale is just yanking our chains. Still, that would be a fun cameo I think, and so I mark this up to being a rumor that has believability to it. I’m sure we’ll hear more about this in the coming days and weeks if it’s indeed fact.
It was a joke.. Crowe and Bale were teasing and making funny…. anyone who saw the interview segment surely could tell no one was serious.
At least Phil Gee gets it. You fools and especially Campea will believe anything!
i can see it now: Russell Crowe as the REAL Rha’s Al Ghul :-)
Russel Crowe? Really? I’m disappointed. I think it would be really awesome if Jack Nicholson made a super-small cameo… maybe just as an extra or something. He was what made the Joker role, and one could argue the whole Batman franchise, so iconic.

Yeah, he was fucking with us:

He plays himself.
“Russell Crowe in Gotham City!”
“Hi, I’m Russell Crowe” *steps off-screen* END OF CAMEO
No.
The last thing this franchise needs is some high-profile vanity cameo. I think Bale was fucking with us and not being serious. I hope he was, at least.
This news comes hot off the heels of the alleged discovery of the character Hall is playing (a video news reporter who discovers Wayne’s other self), so I wonder if the cameo has Crowe in that studio when Joker attacks it/Batman arrives.
Or better yet, call Russell…Jean P. Valley :)
Sounds cool.
But will he play a real character or just “guy sitting in the hotel lobby”?
If it’s supposed to be a surprise, why would Bale want to reveal it a good 11 months before the film comes out?
I like this news john I this it what Russell needs to get himself back in the game. And it good its just a camio I don’t want this movie to be cramed full. As long and we don’t see two fac i am happy save him for part 3.
Mayor of Gotham City??
I think he attacks Commissioner Gordon with the Bat Phone.
Anthony Michael Halls characters brother… he kinda looks like him…?
Sweet news, maybe he’s playing Poison Ivy?
