What's so great about this guy anyway? Is it because he's in Dark Knight?

Or did he do some other over-hyped film before Dark Knight?

he was excellent in empire of the sun.

According to IMDB, the writers are indeed the same ones that did T3.

Directed by McG of Charlie's Angels fame.

My expectations got lower.

Ugh, now it's not even sure this will make rental material.

I believe we're talking about the time between SkyNet causing the apocalypse and Connor sending Reese back in time. Which is what it appears that T:Salvation (and I guess the sequels?) will cover.

And Gattaga. He got to grope Thurman's left breast.

I strongly disagree. T3 was a box office hit (pulled in $433 million worldwide in theaters alone), and Bale is a hot property in Hollywood right now.

It was a box office hit, but it ranked high on the Pokerguy Fail Scale? , it was terrible. I liked T1 and T2, but T3 sucked.

Was he the little kid? Wow, I completely forgot that was him. He was great, movie was great too. I thought he was just Batman.

Wait, Bale was in Gattaca?

Edit:
No. No he wasn't.

Also American Psycho, Swing Kids, Reign of Fire (bad movie but he was good), Equilibrium (Gun-Fu!)

No way. Leave Cameron alone. He needs to focus all of his attention on his current project, Avatar.

Confused with Ethan Hawke. Both got that scrawny & pretty face thing going on.

Bale is great and all but he is only as good as the script he's given. Quite frank if they follow the same cartoon formula they employed for T3 then this is going to fail like pepsi one. I'm keeping my fingers crossed they learned their lesson.

Definitely! One of the all-time great action sci-fi pieces. However, is possible I would try to find the unedited version of T2 with restored footage.

He was great in:

American Psycho
Shaft
Reign Of Fire
Laurel Canyon
Equilibrium
The Machinist
Batman Begins
Rescue Dawn
The Prestige
3:10 To Yuma
The Dark Knight

So yes, I think he's a pretty damn good actor, even if the movies that he acts in tend to be average. I'll reserve judgment on the movie until it comes out, but I have a feeling Bale will be a better John Connor than Nick Stahl.

Will do. I almost bought the first one on Blu-ray yesterday, because I absolutely love that movie, but it was still a bit too pricey.

I wonder if they have this restored footage on the BD version of T2?

I liked T3. The scene with the crane was awesome. And of course naked Kristanna Loken = Win.

Sure John Connor was kind of a whiner, but he was just as whiny in T2. Plus we get Claire Danes as the female lead instead of the manly Linda Hamilton.

Exactly; the series needed a refresh after having two whiny, scrawny John Connors in a row. It needs a terminator that isn't as one-dimensional as Arnold. Josh Brolin (No Country For Old Men) will be a terminator in T4.
 
So, reading his wiki, he gained 100 lbs in 6 months from the movie Machinist to Batman Begins. Geez, I wish I could build muscle in that short amount of time.!!

I think he was in one bad movie.. some movie with Eva Longoria.. Latin themed?
