TERMINATOR SALVATION/BALE REVEALED

The new Batman has one drawback: Christian Bale is usually hidden in his Bat suit. No such problem with his appearance in the forthcoming Terminator Salvation: The End Begins.

**************

Here Bale is revealed in all his gritty glory (left), able to show both his acting prowess and his talent for kicking ass.

For this is battle big time where he has to show his face if he hopes to triumph, in the post apocalypse (2018) war between those uppity machines and the ragtag of the human resistance.

And human resistance doesn’t come any more resistant than Bale as layman John Connor.

If Skynet - and its army of Terminators - had any real wits they would pack up and shove off before losing face but wise choices are not their forte.

Connor’s fightback begins when a stranger, Marcus Wright, appears, claiming to be a survivor from the peaceful past (albeit one formerly incarcerated on Death Row) and suggesting that the future can be more, well, human, than the one Connor has been raised to believe in.

Just one question: Is this Wright character from the past for real or maybe a decoy paying a visit from the future to mess with Connor’s mind?

Despite his uncertainty, Connor decides to side with Wright and, as Skynet prepares its final onslaught against human, the pair venture into the heart of its malign operations to uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind, unless they put wrong to right.

Do they manage this seemingly impossible task? Hmmm.

You can catch a glimpse of the struggles here.
