Bale Snakes Toward Metal Gear

The latest issue of the U.K. Magazine, Nuts, has an interview with Christian Bale. Bale mentions that he is vying for the role of Solid Snake in the upcoming film version of "Metal Gear Solid."

Seems like a good sign if the goddamned Batman is one of the possible choices for the lead character. Makes you wonder who else is eager to become the tank busting, stealth sneaking, ninja beating, chain smoking and cardboard box wearing Snake. And yes, I do realize that the posted image is of Bale in a Snake Eater type environment. I'd rather put him in a picture with Eva than with someone like Otacon or Raiden.
