Christian Bale admits being jealous of Ben Affleck playing Batman

Christian Bale has confessed that he was jealous when Ben Affleck took over the role of Batman in 'Batman vs. Superman

'The Machinist' star asserted that even though he felt that it was the right time to stop and when he heard there was someone else doing it, there was a moment where he just stopped and stared into nothing for half an hour, Us Magazine reported.

The 40-year-old actor asserted that he should have gotten over it by now about the fact that he was jealous of someone else playing Batman.

Bale starred in 2005's Batman Begins and went on to play the superhero in 2008's 'The Dark Knight' as well as 'The Dark Knight Rises'.
