Christian Bale Admits Envy Of Ben Affleck – Wanted To Play Batman Again

Christian Bale, who played the latest caped crusader in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, has finally admitted that there is some envy of Ben Affleck, who will don the cowl for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.

To all of those that hated the casting of Benna Fleck as Batman, this probably doesn't settle your anger. Here's what Bale had to say about Affleck being cast:

"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.' 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."

Would you rather have seen Christian Bale's Batman go up against Henry Cavill's Superman, or are you looking forward to seeing Ben Affleck's Batman in action?
