Christian Bale's best role?
The Batman is an obvious choice but I think his best work was in American psycho.
thoughts and comments welcome Rage,rage against the dying of the light. Do not go gently into that good night. |

Might have to go with Batman. Feels like he was born for that role.
American Psycho and The Prestige are close seconds. |

The Machinist was nowhere as good as AP and Batman. Go fuck yourselves. Hard.

Its a given Bale IS Batman, and it is his best role. But to give a different answer, I'll go with American Psycho. Also he was great in The Prestige. Bale in ANY role kicks ass.

American Psycho. Born to play Bateman.
Machinist is close behind though. |

These are all the movies I've seen of his:
3:10 to Yuma (2007) I'm Not There. (2007) The Prestige (2006) Rescue Dawn (2006) Batman Begins (2005) Harsh Times (2005) Howl's Moving Castle The Machinist Equilibrium (2002) Reign of Fire (2002) American Psycho (2000) Equilibrium's my favorite on that list and first one I've seen of his but I'd have to say The Machinist because he practically starved himself. It looked like he was going to break or disappear into thin air. I need to download New World with him and Colin Farrel and see how he is in that. |

he was born to play patrick bateman.
tbh he is the man for going from having probably the best male body ever in american psycho, to the state he was in for the machinist to the bulky bastard he is in batman. |

![]() For real, though. Either The Machinist or American Psycho. The Prestige and Batman are good, too, though. |

I think those who picked American Psycho were influenced by his naked buttocks in said movie.

Yeah I liked the story and Bale in the fighting scenes with the sword and gun-kata was awesome. Imagine if he was in the Matrix instead of Keanu Reeves.

Agreed but only matrix 1. for some reason people say that the second and third matrix sucked so I would not want to see Bale's stellar career suffer due to the perceptions

American Psycho easily, there's not one second on screen you don't doubt he's a complete lunatic. "Sabrina don't just stare at it, EAT IT!"

I saw The New World. Christian is only in the last 3/5ths of the movie but does a better job than Colin Farrell. Not a very exciting or thought provoking movie though.

As massive a Batman fan as I am, even I would have to say American Psycho.

I would have sex with Christian Bale, would admit it to my friends, and still be comfortable with my heterosexuality. The man is amazing. I don't know if it can be considered the best acting from a technical standpoint, but what he's done for The Machinist and Rescue Dawn has been fucking sick.
Picking between his roles is so hard, because he's so fucking great. It's my belief he should run for President. He would also be the best choice for a Bruce Banner. |

His mockney accent in the Prestige is terrible.
I'd go with American Pyscho. I'd be hard pressed to find a better actor to fill that role. |

I have only seen Batman and American Psycho, so in that case I think that his best work was in American Psycho. I just feel that no one else could've played Bateman that well.
