As a long time fan of Christian Bale, I can tell you he is one of the best in his generation, but newcomers most probably are going to have a hard time actually finding some of his past work. I know I have, and I've been collecting his movies for nearly 7 years!
For the most part, his new fans are mainly fanboys/fangirls who just think he's the hottest guy on the planet OMG.
His work should be taken seriously, and by the looks of it, he might just become the franchise king seeing as Terminator Salvation doesn't look too bad either. It's sad to think that most of the newcomers are for the most part just see him as Batman since he has diversified in his past(Velvet Goldmine anyone?
)Honestly if they are going to make a third Batman film, they really should be careful about how they do it. It will either make or break the first two films, and I seriously do not want to see two good films go down because the studio wanted to try and make more money with yet another franchise.
Personally I would rather see Deadshot be introduced over Catwoman, Riddler and The Penguin. Deadshot isn't given enough credit, and if they can use flippin Ras Al Ghul in Batman Begins, then they could have a try with Deadshot(it's perfectly credible and real character too). But for the most part, Riddler wouldn't be half bad a villain. If he wears a pair of old lime green Converse and squeels like an emo/punk band though, I will honestly just walk out of that movie.
After Danny DeVito, Penguin should NEVER be in a movie. I swear, I just don't like him. NO PENGUUUUIIIIIINN!
