Batman himself, Mr Christian Bale, confirms that he’s likely to playing The Dark Knight for the last time, as he has one or two things to say about The Dark Knight Rises…
Over at E! Online, the site has been chatting to Christian Bale about his next, and seemingly final, visit to Gotham City. In the interview with the actor, as part of the promotional tour for his incoming movie, The Fighter, Bale first of all confirms that once director Christopher Nolan leaves the Batman franchise, so will he.
“The thing is that this will be, I believe, unless Chris says different, this will be the last time I’m playing Batman”, Bale says of the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises. Nolan is unlikely to say different, given that he too is certain to depart Gotham City once the new film is released.
Bale also has a word of warning for those of is who might believe some of the rumours we read on the Internet (heaven forbid!). In response to some of the chatter about potential casting and villains, he simply says that “Until Chris tells me, I don’t believe it. It’s gotta be from his mouth, or else I don’t really know”.
You can see the interview over at E! Online. Meanwhile, production on The Dark Knight Rises begins next spring, with a release in the summer of 2012.
