Even if we won’t see Bale in the next Batman movie, American Hustle (2013) and Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014) are enough to show his acting finesse. The Oscar nomination for American Hustle is a proof that Christian can be more than a superhero. He is one of the most respected Hollywood actors and there is no reason to doubt his movie earnings. An interesting fact about Bale is that he stays true to his recent movie character when it comes to the accent. If its American, he speaks with an American accent in the interviews related to it too.
