Christian Bale told IFMagazine that 3:10 To Yuma co-star Russell Crowe is in The Dark Knight.

“Russell’s going to actually be in the new BATMAN movie, which is a big surprise and I want to reveal it to everybody right now,” said Bale, who wouldn’t disclose any more info.

I don’t think that Crowe would appear in a nonspeaking cameo. If he appears at all, I would assume it’s a small speaking role.

But who knows, may-be he was joking? I sometimes wonder if the boredom of a press junket results in actors making up stuff just to entertain themselves. Sometimes they’re just joking around and you never can tell. We’ll keep you updated!
