Before he donned the Batsuit and became every fanboy's ultimate man crush, Christian Bale was ours. That boyish charm, that rascally grin glimmering with the slightest hint of mischief -- they belonged to the legions of female fans who idol-worshipped the Welsh actor over a decade before the global success of Batman Begins turned him into a household name. For us, it was all about Bale as the handsome and charismatic Jack, a youngster with big dreams who urges his fellow newspaper boys to "open the gates and seize the day," bringing big business tyrants to their knees with the sheer force of song and dance. You thought defeating the Joker was tough? Try bringing William Randolph Hearst down to 50 cents on a bundle of newspapers! Herewith, I offer you the crush that dominated my teen years: Christian Bale in Newsies.
