In A Shop For Killers, Bale was portrayed as a notorious murderer, who was working as a mercenary in Babylon. The lack of empathy in the character makes him stand out in the segment of evil characters. Bale can be compared to the character of David Carradine, who plays the role of a cold-hearted murderer, Bill, in the film Kill Bill. A similar lack of empathy for their victims was seen in Bale’s emotionless eyes, and he seemed to murder people just for sport. He would go on missions and kill civilians just for his entertainment, which was strongly opposed by Jinman. Will Jinman be able to punish Bale for his deeds? Will Bale try to get back at Jinman at the end of A Shop For Killers? Let’s find out.
