Christian Bale enjoys rare outing with son Joseph, 9, as the daring duo show off their scooter skills in the Big Apple

Christian Bale was spotted on a father-son bonding excursion with his 9-year-old boy Joseph in New York on Wednesday.

The Dark Knight star, 49, and his adorable son, who goes by ‘Rex’, made the most of the rare outing by zipping around the Big Apple on scooters.

Keeping it casual in a light blue sweatshirt and black joggers, the Welsh thespian looked like a pro handling the two-wheeler with aplomb. 

Rex kept up with his superhero pops as he took over the pavement in a black hoodie and bright green pantss.

Back in August of 2014, Christian welcomed Rex with his wife, Sibi Blazic, 52. The couple, who married in 2000, also share daughter Emmeline, 18.

The fun scooter adventure comes after the father and son shared a rare outing to Disneyland in April.

The darling duo were joined by Sibi, as they were spotted roaming around Disney California Adventure Park (DCA), which is within the Disneyland Resort. 

Christian made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut over the 2022 summer in Thor: Love and Thunder, almost a decade after he last donned the Batman suit in The Dark Knight Trilogy. 

His critically acclaimed take on the villain Gorr the God Butcher was so impressive, it begged comparison to his version of hero Bruce Wayne, which is still a fan favorite.

Christian, who was born in Haverfordwest, Wales, United Kingdom, starred in three Batman films as the titular character himself.

He played Bruce Wayne/Batman in the 2005 Batman Begins, The Dark Knight in 2008 and in 2012 for The Dark Knight Rises.

The last film in the series grossed over $1 billion worldwide and it considered one of the best superhero movies ever made.

Even with so many huge flicks under his belt, Christian recently revealed Rex and Emmeline don’t often get a chance to enjoy his movies.

‘Not often, no,’ he told People. ‘They get to enjoy some of them. They really encouraged me to go make [Thor: Love and Thunder]. They really wanted that, and I enjoyed that and I appreciate that they did ask me to go do that.’

‘What I like thinking about is that I’m hoping in the years to come they will come to appreciate these films even if they don’t right now,’ he added.

‘But I’m not sure that any dad’s kids really ever enjoy watching their dad in a film, because I’m their dad.’
