[COLOR="Blue"]Christian Bale gives Ben Affleck a "piss" of advice[/COLOR]
Ben Affleck's really not having an easy time of being Batman, and he hasn't even stepped into the rubber suit yet. He faced backlash from basically everyone on the planet (apart from his wife). He has to work in the giant shadow of Christian Bale's stellar version of the Caped Crusader, who is just about everyone's favourite Batman there's ever been.
Talking to Access Hollywood, Bale pretty much hammered some nails into the coffin of his Batman at the same time, and seemed to be hinting at the fact that he doesn't want to be constantly asked about Affleck's performance for the next however many years Ben's in the role for. And if there's one thing we know, it's that you don't want to make Christian Bale angry.
Bale said: 'The only thing I said to him is to make sure he can take a piss without anyone having to help him because it's a little bit humiliating - at least what I went through - when you have to have someone help you out of the costume in order to do that. That was my main piece of advice for him.'
Well at least he didn't take the piss completely. Bale added: 'I wish him all the best, he's a very experienced actor and filmmaker. He'll make it his own. Our thing is finished, we always declared it was finished and it should be passed on to another actor - it will be again after him.'

Testy Bale!
Honestly didn't care much for Bale as Batman especially his Batman voice.
Affleck could make a better Batman than Bale... maybe? Just don't do the Batman voice.
But WB should've gotten Jon Hamm from Mad Men instead.

He'd make a GREAT Bruce Wayne and probably at least an adequate Batman. Originally Posted by Noah Rose

Re: Batman/Superman - Bale gives Affleck a "Piss" of Advice
Yeah I think that's my biggest problem with Affleck, I just don't see him as a good Bruce Wayne. Maybe he'll prove me wrong.

Re: Batman/Superman - Bale gives Affleck a "Piss" of Advice
Yeah, but can he play the dark stoic side of him well? I guess its not exactly a movie focused on Bruce, so it doesn't matter. Originally Posted by kentatm

He really wasn't. His Bruce Wayne was good, though. Originally Posted by plowking

If he can deliver the same type of performance that he did in 'Argo', where exposition and dialogue was minimized, I think he can turn opinions around.

Re: Batman/Superman - Bale gives Affleck a "Piss" of Advice
I don't really get all the hate for Affleck as Bruce Wayne. This is coming from a pretty big Batman/ film enthusiast.
Fckin internet nerds are so PMS sometimes. This news and the reactions illustrated as much.
I think Affleck could play a good version of the character. I prefer him as a director but he could surprise the audience. The upcoming movie isn't even focused on Batman.
I remember how people reacted when Ledger was cast as the Joker. U would have thought America was attacked by Australia in Pearl Harbor fashion.
