Christian Bale says he won't be Batman in 'Justice League' movie

We already knew that Christian Bale probably wasn’t going to show up as Batman in the upcoming Justice League movie, the Avengers-style supergroup of DC heroes. First, Bale said that he wouldn’t do another Batman movie unless Nolan opted for a fourth Dark Knight chapter, which Nolan says isn’t happening. Then Man of Steel and Dark Knight screenwriter David S. Goyer confirmed that the Justice League’s Batman would be a rebooted character. So that pretty much closed the book.

Still, with news like this, sometimes you just have to hear it from the man himself.

“We were incredibly fortunate to get to make three [Batman films]. That’s enough. Let’s not get greedy,” says Bale, who called EW to promote his upcoming revenge drama Out of the Furnace (in theaters Nov. 27). “Chris [Nolan] always said he wanted to make it one film at a time. And we ended up sitting there looking at each other, saying ‘We’re about to make the third.’ We never really knew if we were going to get to be there, but if that was how it was going to be, this was where it should end as well.”

The actor says he hasn’t even been involved in official talks about a Justice League movie. ”I have no information, no knowledge about anything. I’ve literally not had a conversation with a living soul. I understand that they may be making a Justice League movie, that’s it.” But he says he’s not sad to pass Batman’s cowl into new hands: “It’s a torch that should be handed from one actor to another. So I enjoy looking forward to what somebody else will come up with.”

Once he talks to rdj about taking a percentage of sales this may change

Either way I don't care he was the least interesting thing about all 3 batman movies

 

[Jone2three45]

Good. He was boring.

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

He was a ill Bruce Wayne though

They dumbed Bats down too muck for the Trilogy. Aint no way in hell Bales bat can fukks with Supes. Let us remember, Bats with time, can fukks with anybody in comics despite no super powers. I want a Bats like that...smart but not nerdy like Spidey.

Thank you for Batman Begins and most of The Dark Knight, but he has to not be involved with anything moving forward.

Unless they do a Batman Beyond flick in the future

As much as I love the Nolan batman series I'm really not saddened by him not reprising his role. I'd rather see Bale in a movie that allows him to flex his acting muscles a bit more.

 

[Soundwave]

Bale wasn't given enough prep time for the role

Basically.

Christian Bales Batman would get worked by Supes. Especially this new Superman who is apparently a stone cold killer on the low.
