The 34-year-old, who has appeared in American Psycho, Batman Begins and 3:10 to Yuma, insisted that he does not intentionally choose dark roles.
"I have no attraction to misery," he told Details magazine.
"The only think I would unequivocally say is that I have never had any interest in romantic comedy - I just couldn't do it. I think I'd be terrible. And I think it's an oxymoron anyway. I've never found any of them funny."
Bale will next be seen reprising his role as billionaire-turned-crime fighter Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins sequel The Dark Knight, scheduled for release on July 25.
