Background

Happy 50th birthday to Christian Bale!

Prior to his blockbuster performances as Gotham's caped crusader in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy and his Academy Award-winning performance in The Fighter (2011), the Welsh-born actor's breakthrough adult role was arguably as the sociopathic businessman—and suggested serial killer—Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, adapted by Mary Herron from Bret Easton Ellis' dark satirical novel of the same name.
