Where's Christian Bale?

Okay, I'm reading Nora Roberts's Tribute and enjoying it, but I have one question: where's Christian Bale? The hero and heroine discuss the relative merits of the modern movie Batmen -- Keaton's craziness vs. suave Clooney vs. miscast Kilmer -- but omit Christian Bale, star of the 2005 Batman Begins and this summer's The Dark Knight.

In case you need a thing to celebrate this weekend, Sunday is Embrace Your Geekness Day.
