Carter Wood points to a BBC interview with Dark Knight co-star Aaron Eckhart:
Lang: The movie’s already done incredibly well. I think it’s broken records in its opening weekend in the United States. I mean, do you think that because America’s in an election year, the economy going down the tubes, a lot of uncertainty in the world, do you think it touched a nerve?
Eckhart: (Laughs) You’re very anti-American here.
Lang: Yes?
Eckhart: We’re having our problems…First of all, I will never disparage America on foreign soil. I am a proud American.
You can listen to the full interview here. The quoted exchange comes relatively early on.

Maybe he just waits until he gets here to do it?

Eckhart was in this month’s edition of Men’s Health, he is a down to earth guy who lives on his own horse ranch and does his own range work… he is a super cool dude and at least he is sticking up for the US when he really didn’t have to..
