Surprised to see Christian Bale in humor mode? Many people in the room were, but Bale’s Batman collaborator, ‘The Dark Knight’ director Christopher Nolan, says he’s seen the sly and winking side to the Welsh thespian before he ever spent time with him in Gotham City.

‘Go back and watch ‘American Psycho’ and you see it, there’s a lot of humor there. I went back and watched that film before I cast him [as Batman] and I was surprised at how much humor there was behind the performance. Now it’s very dark humor, of course, but you do see it.’
