Bale’s exit as Batman reminded of Ledger’s casting decision as “Joker”

• Christian Bale is preparing for the release of Thor: Love and Thunder.
• This isn’t the first time an actor has been rejected for a comic-book role.
• Heath Ledger’s Joker casting was criticized at the time.

Christian Bale is one of the most dedicated actors of his generation. The actor has molded his own body to fit a character before, demonstrating his passion as an actor. Ben Affleck, who was the next choice for Batman, had to bear the brunt of Bale’s popularity.

Bale is preparing for the release of Thor: Love and Thunder, which is generating a lot of buzz. In the trailer, the actor looks unrecognizable as a dark character. With heavy makeup and never-before-seen body language, it’s clear he did well. Taika Waititi directed. Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman co-star.

Christian Bale has appeared in Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises. All of Christopher Nolan’s films were well-received by fans, both for his acting and his poetic direction.

Fans were unwilling to accept another actor in Bale’s place. People assumed Ben Affleck wouldn’t live up to expectations, but he’s never let that stop him.

This wasn’t the first time an actor was rejected for a comic-book role, and the audience noticed. Heath Ledger’s casting as the Joker was criticized at the time. Some threatened not to see the film if he played the layered psychopath. They reasoned that Ledger, who had a chocolate boy, romantic hero image at the time, would ‘never‘ be able to pull off such a complex role the way Jack Nicholson did in the past.

“Heath Ledger? A joker? I don’t think so, “said another.

An analysis said, “He’s not exactly comic-book material, and he has to fill the impossible-to-fill shoes of Jack Nicholson, who will always be the guy most associated with The Joker.”

Heath Ledger’s Joker performance was the biggest critic’s comeback. Even though he died before seeing the audience’s reaction, he became one of the best villains of all time.
