Bale May Be Willing To Return For A Fourth Film

Well, many people have been wondering if Nolan is going to kill Batman in the third and final film in his “Dark Knight Trilogy”. And tweets online about the movie bringing the test audiences to tears made it look that way too.

UK filmmaker Danny Allen tweeted recently: “THE DARK KNIGHT RISES has been reducing test screening audiences to tears…. if it matches the truly haunting trailer I don’t blame them.”

But now it looks like that idea has been squashed by Bale in the recent Empire. When asked about returning again he stated “My understanding is that this is the last one. I think it’s appropriate, I think it’s going out at the right time. But…if Chris came to me with a script and said, ‘You know what? There is another story’ then I would love the challenge of making a fourth one work.”

Now Bale could just be playing a game here to not reveal too much but I don’t truly see Nolan killing off Bruce.

Bale was also asked how he would feel about coming for “Dark Knight Returns” style Batman and to play the character as a much older man. He went on to say “That could be an interesting one, couldn’t it? Twenty years down the track…”.
