Christian Bale has played Batman and Bateman.

He also played John Rolfe in “The New World”, meaning he’s also been a boatman.

He's also played Cheney and Gorr.

Alfred also refers to Bruce Wayne as Master Bruce, just once I'd like to catch him saying Master Bat...

But not Buttman, Biteman, Boatman, or Butteman?

But, has he ever played bait, man?

This is the kind of headline that editors love to come up with:

“From Bateman to Batman: Christian Bale’s Amazing Journey from childhood star to emotional powerhouse.”
