Making a strong statement after the 1997 bomb "Batman & Robin" was laughed off the screen, the Bat-everything franchise now starring Christian Bale has returned stronger than ever.
The box office of "Batman Begins" was so strong in the U.S. that Warner studio now hopes to do all future Batman movies with His Gorgeousness, Christian Bale, firmly implanted as a darker more seductively intense Bruce Wayne/Batman.
According to PageSix, a source said that "the movie's strength is with Bale, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman." Katie Holmes is considered a weak point in the cast and will be out of any of the sequels or remakes, as "the next romantic interest will be a much stronger actress," the studio source said.
