Sam Worthington to Replace Christian Bale as Batman

Sam Worthington, the Aussie actor about to shoot into the stratosphere with his performance in Terminator Salvation, is being tipped as the next Batman.

Christian Bale and Sam Worthington in the upcoming Terminator Salvation.

Sam Worthington‘s fame is set to explode in the US with the May release of Terminator Salvation, and again in December when James Cameron’s Avatar is released in cinemas.

Cameron, also the creator of Terminator, says he is the breakout star of both films.

Industry gossip now suggests the rising Australian star could score the part of Batman in the third installment of the successful prequel franchise.

That could mean replacing Bale, his Terminator co-star and The Dark Knight lead, whose profile was damaged after his infamous “me, me, me” meltdown on the Terminator set, which recently hit the internet.
