It's an interesting choice. I think Bale should do a fine job.
I'm more interested in the studio's choice of Nolan as director. This could go either way. He is definately no Schumacher (all goofy show but no story) but he is also no Burton (all dark show and prblematic story).
My gut says that like Aliens 3 and the studio's choice of a newbie David Fincher, Warner Brothers feels that they can get cred with Nolan but are counting on the fact that he is still relatively wet behind the ears and can therefore be pushed around (in other words they've hired him because he's arty but they'll be pissed if he actually turns out to be arty).
