The Dark Knight

Now I admit, I have never been a fan of batman, but recently I was dragged along by my friends to see the newest batman film. To my complete surprise I loved the it, long gone are the tongue in cheek moments from previous films and to add to my enjoyment was Bruce Wayne actor Christian Bale.

The British born actor was handsome and buff (what more can a girl ask for?) My enthusiasm has led me to watch 'Batman Begins' and 'The Dark Knight Rises' and they haven't disappointed.

So, Christian Bale has a new fan and she's ready to watch some more of his films. I'll keep you updated!
