Possibly, but I think the films have something else in common as well? Both were very dark, gritty, nihilistic, violent, anti-hero pieces. And honestly? Bale is barely in either of them - Heath Ledger had a bigger role as did the guy who played Half and Half. Terminator Rise of the Machines was Sam whathisname's movie. And it was just a badly written movie...and had a director, who ...well isn't exactly known for his finesse. (That said it was still better than the third film in the Terminator series.)
Bale has been other films: Little Women, Prestige, 3:10 to Yuma, Rescue Dawn, The Fighter, did the voice to Howl's Moving Castle, was the kid in Empire of the Sun, and played the lead in American Psycho. If you saw and hated all those films? Maybe.
Dark Knight was a very violent, dark, noir film - that was very close to the Tim Sale and Frank Miller comics. (I loved it, but I wasn't a fan of the Tim Burton Batman and hated the Val Kilmer and George Clooney versions. And I read the comics on which it was based. Also, I tend to like Chris Nolan flicks - you either like Chris Nolan films or you tend to hate them (Prestige, Inception, Memento, Dark Knight, Batman Begins.) That said? I don't understand how people could watch Dark Knight in Imax though or more than once. I could only see it once and I couldn't watch it in Imax (ugh). That was one film...that I did not want residing in my brain. Much like Girl with the Dragon Tattoo actually (the book and Swedish film of GWDT are partially responsible for my romance novel binge.) ;-)
