Summer heroes of '09: Miss (but “ Batman” –Hit): Bale is the ultimate loner, so when he showed up in “ Terminator Salvation” as John Connor, the guy who’s supposed to lead the resistance, you knew there’d be trouble and not just with those relentless killing machines. He’s just no leader of men, which is why his turn as “Batman” makes our hit parade — in “Dark Knight” it was fine to fly solo.

He’s just no leader of men, which is why his turn as “Batman” makes our hit parade — in “Dark Knight” it was fine to fly solo.
