The possibility of seeing Batman 4 stems from a recent ScreenRant interview with Bale, according to the site, Christian Bale exclusively told them about the possibility of reprising his role as Batman:
“Nope. No one has mentioned it to me. No one has mentioned it. […] Every once in a while people say to me, ‘Oh, I heard you’ve been pitched all this.’ And I’m like, ‘That’s new to me. No one said that’…”
“I had a pact with Chris Nolan. We said, ‘Hey, look. Let’s do three movies, if we’re lucky enough to do them. And then we’re going to go. Let’s not stay too long.’ In my mind, it would be something if Chris Nolan ever said to himself, ‘You know what, I have another story to tell. And if he wanted to tell that story with me, I would sign up.”
Nolan and Bale’s Batman
Nolan and Bale breathed new life into superhero movies with Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012), making way for Ben Affleck and Robert Pattinson as the next incarnations of the hero, to who will also be joined by the return of Michael Keaton.
Speaking of Matt Reeves’ The Batman, Variety reports that Bale has not seen Warner’s new proposal. “I have not seen her yet. I’ll see her,” Bale recently told Variety about The Batman. “Listen, man, it’s amazing how few movies I see. Every director I work with, I’ve seen a couple of his movies and they always look at me and say, ‘Are you kidding me? I like to savor movies and I don’t watch too many. But I will, for sure.”
Bale added: “Robert is an absolutely wonderful actor. We met, talked about it a little bit ahead of time, and I heard wonderful things.”
