Will the ''Dark Knight' star's recent arrest overshadow the work of a versatile actor who's played everything from a superhero to a glam rock star to a POW? Judge for yourself
THE DARK KNIGHT (2008)
THE ROLE Teaming up for a third time with director Christopher Nolan, Bale dusts off his Batsuit to play the millionaire by day, conflicted caped crusader by night who comes to Gotham's rescue when a clown-faced lunatic called the Joker (Heath Ledger) launches a deadly destruction spree.
WHAT EW SAYS Owen Gleiberman: ''Bale, all steely reserve, once again captivates as the haunted caped crusader who must shed morality to beat the devil at his game. But just as Tim Burton's 1989 Batman was anchored by the joy-buzzer glee of Jack Nicholson's party-down Joker, The Dark Knight takes its cue from its Joker and his deadly circus of chaos.''
