The cowl of Batman now must be handed down to the next next crime fighter, and that lucky individual is…Miles Scott! Christian Bale was recently interviewed for his movie Out Of The Furnace, and the whole Batkid event was brought up and Bale had some nice words to say about :
I just think it’s great. It’s a great day for the little guy. I just think Make-A-Wish and San Francisco did such an amazing thing to organize that. You just think of the delight in that little fella’s heart, running around doing that. Then also, as someone who played Batman, it’s great to see that the symbol of Batman is so much bigger than any one person, than any film, than any comic book, any TV series, that’s really what it’s all about. It’s irrelevant which actor is playing it, we’re irrelevant in that sense. But for little Miles to have such a great day, is delightful.
Kind words from the oscar winning actor indeed, and he also spoke up about Ben Affleck taking over the role as the Dark Knight:
I wish him all the best. He’s a very experienced actor and filmmaker and he’ll make it his own. Our thing’s finished, we’ve always declared it’s finished and it should be passed on to another actor and it will be again after him. The only thing I said to him is just make sure you can take a piss without anyone having to help him. Because it’s a little humiliating, at least what I went through, when you have to have someone help you out of the costume. That was my main piece of advice for him.
Now that is pretty funny right there. You would think the Caped Crusader would make it easy for himself to be able to take a wiz in the suit. Ben Affleck himself even tweeted out about the Batkid, by stating the Batkid was the “Best Batman ever”. The Batkid event has certainly captured the hearts of all of us around the world, and hopefully we will see more events like that.
