In an interview with the director, Mary Harron, once said in regards to discussing the character with Bale:
"We talked about how Martian-like Patrick Bateman was, how he was looking at the world like somebody from another planet, watching what people did and trying to work out the right way to behave. And then one day he called me and he had been watching Tom Cruise on David Letterman, and he just had this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes, and he was really taken with this energy."
Probably why Tom Cruise always unsettles me and I have a hard time getting into his movies...
Tl;Dr Christian Bale based Patrick Bateman off Tom Cruise because he "just had this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes"
