Christian Bale is Jealous Of Ben Affleck Playing Batman

Christian Bale finally gives his thoughts on the casting of Ben Affleck as Batman in the upcoming film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice!

“I’ve got to admit initially, even though I felt that it was the right time to stop, there was always a bit of me going, ‘Oh, go on … Let’s do another,’” the 40-year-old actor shared to Empire (via ComicBookMovie). “So when I heard there was someone else doing it, there was a moment where I just stopped and stared into nothing for half an hour.”
