Christian Bale is open to slipping into his Caped Crusader costume again. The actor, who starred as Batman in the "Dark Knight" trilogy, revealed he hasn’t ruled out the idea of reprising his role as Bruce Wayne.
However, the 48-year-old would only do it under one condition: if director Christopher Nolan also returned. Nolan, 51, directed Bale in 2005’s "Batman Begins," as well as 2008’s "The Dark Knight" and 2012’s "The Dark Knight Rises." "No one’s ever mentioned it to me," Bale explained to ScreenRant on Monday about a potential sequel. "No one’s brought it up.
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.'"

"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." But these days, Bale is keeping busy with a completely different comic book character.
