Cheebs, I wholeheartedly agree with every word you just said about Bale. I've been fascinated over the years by how popular he's gotten and recently decided it was because people fall in love with the roles he chooses- Batman, Patrick Bateman, John Conner, etc. I find him an uninteresting and generally mediocre actor, though, like you say, can't hate him because I have fond memories for many of the roles he's played (particularly Bateman from American Psycho).
My roomate and I recently had a debate- he doesn't like DiCaprio and I love him, and vice versa for Bale. To me the actors are incomparable- though this is an opinion and I know it will strike controversy here.
