Christian Bale Plays Another Kind of Uniformed Hero in the The Flowers of War Trailer

How does Christian Bale occupy himself between Batman movies? Apparently by filming Chinese historical war dramas like The Flowers of War (previously titled The 13 Flowers of Nanjing), which finds the actor playing another kind of hero in black -- an American priest who helps Chinese escapees dodge death during the Nanking Massacre. Not sexy enough for you? There is probably more graphic violence (including execution-style kills), impassioned screaming, Christian Bale facial hair styles (I counted three!) and sex with prostitutes in this trailer than in all of Dark Knight Rises.
