Bale was a fan favorite, but a virtual unknown to general audiences, yes. Kinda like Henry (though Bale had more critical acclaim under his belt).
Exactly. By far and away the best way to go. No baggage, and someone that can own the role completely. Lets be honest, Affleck was good, but he came with all that casting an established movie star (with an arguable limited range) comes with. I would dearly love an actor totally out of left field, who can inhabit the role 100% going forward. Bale in Begins / Jackman in X-Men... that kind of deal.
