It seems that Christian Bale will be done playing Batman after the next film in the series The Dark Knight Rises.
In his interview with Total Film, Bale simultaneously said a lot, and nothing at all, about his role as Batman and what little he knows about The Dark Knight Rises.
I believe, unless Chris [Nolan] says different, this will be the last time I’m playing Batman.
So, the obvious follow up would be, do you think Nolan might say differently? Here’s what Bale responded with.
Until Chris tells me, I don’t believe it, It’s gotta be from his mouth, or else I don’t really know.
That’s something we can all agree on. Unless Christopher Nolan says something about The Dark Knight Rises, it’s all speculation. Like, if he says the Riddler is not in the film, the Riddler is not in the film. Speaking of which, what does Bale know about the plot and characters of the follow up to The Dark Knight?
Chris will let me know what I need to know when I need to know it. I probably know a little bit more than some other people out there, but I think most people would be surprised at how little I do know.
This is all based on Christopher Nolan‘s decisions. So basically, if Nolan gets attached to do another film, then Bale will be on-board. But keep in mind The Dark Knight Rises isn’t out until summer 2012. They both have plenty of time to change their minds.
