Patrick Bateman as a concept has been a caricature of immense psychological and sociological criticism ever since he made his first real-world appearance through the character creation of Bret Easton Ellis in his 1991 novel American Psycho<\/em> which is a very disturbing and unsettling commentary on materialism, self-admiration and violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it is often a point of discussion on how suddenly the supplanting in which Austin Butler replaces Bateman comes which can only leave an impression as Butler is a known goal of utmost yet absolute charisma and deep complexity which wouldn\u2019t be criticized in any sense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christian Bale\u2019s Patrick Bateman in the year 2000 blended horror with satire and in so doing, turned the character into a cult favorite. As a result, he became a striking embodiment of the consumer culture which prioritizes looks over all else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bateman\u2019s narrative is now more applicable than ever as feelings of being an outcast, obsession over one\u2019s image and being ambivalent towards morality are unfortunately quite topical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, the classic tale makes it easy for fellow viewers to comprehend the disturbing precision with which Bateman\u2019s character fits into the modern world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
