While talking with the Esquire Magazine, Christian Bale revealed that he was never offered Bond before Daniel Craig as well as the Batman role before Ben Affleck, "No. I’ve never heard of that. Equally untrue about them coming to me for Batman, before Ben Affleck." He also told if he thinks it was the right decision for the role as the caped crusader to be passed on, "Yes. I think it’s the right decision. People were talking about this obscene amount of money they were saying was thrown at me." He then tells that he was never in talks to play the Dark Knight one more time after the final film in the Nolan trilogy (The Dark Knight Rises), "No. I didn’t have a single conversation with anybody about ever playing the role again." So that denies all the old rumors by certain sources (Latino Review), that Christian Bale was set to return as the Bat.

This makes me think it would have been great if Bale could have played the Ed Norton character in Birdman.

But I just do not like Affleck in anything, to me he should be selling real estate somewhere. Everyone has their tastes I guess, but when I see him I just don't see a guy who ought to be in movies....yet there he is....even survived the Gigli/JLO disasters.
