You know, I do remember there being a kerfuffle about Christian Bale playing Batman when he first got cast and how Batman is an American comic book character, but I have to think that was at least partly an excuse because some people always seem to get up in arms about anyone getting cast as Batman, but I will say there actually were a lot of British actors playing American in The Dark Knight Rises. But it did come up again, because for the next movie Heath Ledger was Joker and at around the same time Andrew Garfield was Spider-Man. It is kind of interesting how often they go outside the US when casting American comic book characters.

TIL Christian Bale is not an American

Yeah it was especially noticeable around that time, but it’s a pretty constant thing. American actors do little to no formal training and actors have pretty limited range. In Europe and Australia, and Canada to a lesser extent, it’s very common for actors to study and train for years. And they are exposed to loads of American media so learn the accent often before any formal education. Typecasting still happens but it isn’t the norm like it is for American actors.

I think anyone crying about it is just jealous because they secretly think they’re perfect for the part of only they’d just been discovered.
