Christian Bale says he'd play Batman again on one condition

Bale, who makes his MCU debut in Thor: Love and Thunder, is open to reprising his turn as Batman on one condition: It must be at the behest of director Christopher Nolan.

After headlining the filmmaker's blockbuster Dark Knight trilogy (from 2005 to 2012), Bale would answer the call if the filmmaker had more story to tell.

"I had a pact with Chris Nolan," Bale told Screenrant. "We said, 'Hey, look. Let's make three films, if we're lucky enough to get to do that. And then let's walk away.

In my mind, it would be something if Chris Nolan ever said to himself, 'You know what, I've got another story to tell.' And if he wished to tell that story with me, I'd be in."

Bale recently admitted he has yet to see what Pattinson made of the character despite hearing "wonderful things."

"Listen mate, it's amazing how few films I see. Every director I work with, I've seen a couple of their films and they're always looking at me going”
