If anyone is going to try and pull off Snake's deep and gruff voice, Christian Bale is the man to do it. Word is, the new issue of Nuts magazine (it's a U.K. magazine -- blame the brits for the funny name), there's an interview with the Batman himself, in which he mentions thathe's gunning for the role of Solid Snake in the upcoming, and hopefully Uwe Boll-less, film adaptation of Metal Gear Solid.</p>

Can the Dark Knight also be the man in the cardboard box? Christian Bale has taken on some seriously challenging phyiscal roles (see The Machinist), so the role of Solid Snake is easily something within his grasp. Let's start the rampant speculation now! Who would be your ideal Metal Gear Solid cast, readers?</p>

While you're busy doing that, we'll lock Dave Houghton in a cage until the new issue of Nuts is released, so he can give us all the juicy details.</div></p>

Bale picks pretty good movies.</p>

Now that I think about it I think he'd be perfect! Just as long as it gets a solid director and script.</p>

I hope they weren't serious about the Uwe Boll thing. Bale's an awesome actor, but that dude singlehandedly ruins any movie he touches.</p>

Loved Bale in Equilibrium. Like Matrix but the storyline is easier to follow</p>

Bale is a great actor, I just hope the movie is up to par with the game and other films he has starred in.</p>

American Psycho dwarfs anything else he's done. Bale is a great actor.</p>

Yes! American Psycho is one of my favorite movies. Bale's opening soliloquy is amazing.</p>
