Christian Bale said he would don Batman's cape and cowl again — but only if Christopher Nolan hops back in the director's chair.The 48-year-old actor who played the popular character in the Dark Knight trilogy said, despite some rumors, he was never asked to return to the role.'No.

No one’s ever mentioned it to me. No one’s brought it up,' he said in an interview with Variety. 'Occasionally people say to me, "Oh, I hear you were approached and offered all this.” And I’m like, "That’s news to me.

No one’s ever said that."' Could the Dark Knight rise again?Christian Bale said he would don Batman's cape and cowl again — but only if Christopher Nolan hops back in the director's chair (pictured 2019)However, if Nolan had approached him and asked him to become the Caped Crusader once more, Bale said he would jump right back in to the role. 'I had a pact with Chris Nolan,' he explained. '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. Let’s not linger too long." 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 and Nolan worked together on Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.
