Margot Robbie spoofs Christian Bale in 'American Psycho' parody (video)

In 2003 when Christian Bale was cast as Batman in Christopher Nolan's reboot the first movie of his that I watched was American Psycho. He starred as serial killer Patrick Bateman and gave a chilling performance, one that assured many fans that he'd be a great Bruce Wayne/Batman. Jared Leto also had a major role.

Now another Batman actor is taking on American Psycho, and her name is Margot Robbie. As part of her Vogue cover shoot, Robbie shot a short film spoofing the opening scene of American Psycho that highlights Patrick Bateman's beauty routine.

Check out "Australian Psycho" starring Margot Robbie in the video above. It's pretty funny! You can also check out Christian Bale's original scene below, but it's NSFW due to some nudity.

Margot Robbie made headlines today when news broke that she's in the early stages of developing a Harley Quinn/DC female hero/villain movie with Warner Bros.

Interestingly enough, American Psycho also starred Jared Leto and Willem Dafoe - both of whom will have major roles in the DCEU as well.

And Reg E. Cathey, who was in last year's Fantastic Four and you know what maybe I don't know how to play this game.

That was ridiculously funny... the Vegemite in the fridge, the way her accent changed at the end.

AND the legs (which weren't funny, but they were... legs ;)

I've always loved that line:

"There is an idea of Patrick Bateman....some kind of abstraction. But there is no real 'me,' only an entity; something illusory.

And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable...I simply am not there."

Sometimes I feel like a fake ass motherfucker and I think of this line. At work I smile at all my customers but I kind of hate them.

We need a "Part 2" where Margot Robbie asks Jared Leto if he likes Huey Lewis and the News!

  you realize that Jared Leto was the one killed by Patrick Bateman in that scene right? So he would just play the same role again. Also Christopher Nolans Batman did kill and the proof is from here.

    Yes, that's why I think it'd be funny!

    When? Are those deleted scene? I do not recall Nolan's Batman killing anyone.

      Ah, I thought this was referring to some scene I didn't recall in the Dark Knight trilogy.
