The latest Marvel movie rumour? Marvel wants Christian Bale to play Dr Strange, and that a deal could be struck in the next couple of weeks.
Between this, his role as Batman and as John Connor in the new Terminator film, Bale would have essentially annointed himself King of the Geeks. But I seriously doubt this is anything more than pie-in-the-sky talk. It's also a bit unimaginative.
In other news, Daniel Craig has said that he was offered the role of Thor, but he turned it down (presumably because he felt one franchise character was enough - see what he did there, Christian?). Craig is a pretty good choice, really. A good actor, believably tough, and more than a little teutonic-lookin'.
I have no idea who else they could get for the role. If it was 1988 I might suggest Dolph Lundgren, but he's been both He-Man AND The Punisher. If he and Christian Bale ever acted in a movie together I think the universe might invert itself.

At the Very Least, Steph Will Be Well-Pleased

The Justice League movie fell apart and isn't going ahead at the moment. But yeah, they'd cast some 20-year-old dude by the name of Armie Hammer Jr as Batman. One of the many reasons the wheels fell off.
Of course, having seen Dark Knight, it's hard to envision how Bale's Batman could exist in the same world as someone like the Flash or Green Lantern. That movie took verisimilitude to a whole other level.
