We’ve seen several set photos from Michael Mann’s Public Enemies, the 30s-era gangster epic starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale. But none of the images have featured Bale, and you can’t really beat the official stills with the right lighting, the complete costumes, and the smoldering gazes of Misters Depp and Bale.

So behold the first official images from Public Enemies, debuting at Empire Online before showing up in the January issue of the British magazine (the one with Hugh Jackman as Wolverine on the cover). Look at the period hats! The suits! The threat of imminent violence! Oh, and Jack Sparrow and Batman, facing off against each other from either side of the law.

Public Enemies comes out next July; if they keep coming up with images like these, it’ll definitely be hard to wait that long. Empire has the full size images, so be sure to check ‘em out.
