To be honest, as Frankenstein’s monster, Christian Bale’s character is probably going a conglomeration of different folks’s physique components. It is not like he selected to get a “Hope” tattoo, however that piece of his physique got here from somebody who thought that’d be a good suggestion. Maybe “Hope” was the title of somebody’s girlfriend they wished to have on their physique, and now, the monster goes to have a little bit of a clumsy time attempting to elucidate it to his Bride.
Both means, folks on X have jokes, like @MadFanBoyBlack pointing towards the similarities between Bale’s look and the brand new “The Crow” pictures: “Are we certain these should not simply extra pictures from the brand new crow film lol.” Others drew from different objects in Bale’s filmography, comparable to @hexedits369, who uploaded a clip of Patrick Bateman (Bale’s character from “American Psycho”) a enterprise card together with this caption: “Take a look at that stitching, the refined tattoo, the tasteful font of all of it. Oh my god it even has writing on the jacket…”
Possibly Jared Leto’s Joker was an inspiration in spite of everything. Bale and Leto co-starred in “American Psycho,” and whereas they did not star in the identical DC films, Bale was Batman at one level. It is like poetry; it rhymes.
