In an interview with Empire magazine, the actor leaves an opening, however small, that another movie could be in his future. He tells the publication, "My understanding is that this is the last one. I think it's appropriate, I think it's going out at the right time. But ... if Chris came to me with a script and said, 'You know what? There is another story' then I would love the challenge of making a fourth one work."
But in the same interview it doesn't sound like Nolan is exactly on board. He says, "What drew me to Batman in the first place was Bruce Wayne's story, and that he's a real character whose story begins in childhood. ... That, for me, became a three-part story. And obviously the third part becomes the ending of the guy's story."
But what if the guy's story is re-invented -- in, say, a Justice League movie? In the hit "The Avengers," Robert Downey Jr.'s "Ironman" served as the familiar character in Marvel's group movie. Perhaps Bale could be persuaded to bring his caped crusader to the DC Comics' book version of its team superhero project. The "Justice League" could include Bale's Batman, along with Superman, Green Lantern, and even Wonder Woman. At least, superfans of DC Comics can always hope.
And hope springs eternal -- searches on Yahoo! have surged for "Justice League Movie" with the success of "The Avengers."
Joss Whedon, who directed "The Avengers," was recently asked how to make a Justice League picture work —- something that has been discussed for years. Whedon joked, "Call me," adding, "It's enormously difficult to take very disparate characters and make them work. DC has a harder time of it than Marvel because their characters are from an old, bygone era where characters were bigger than we were. Marvel really cracked the code in terms of 'Oh, they're just like us.' Marvel really started with 'Iron Man.' I think you need to use that as your base."
Let's hope someone at Warner Bros. has the batphone on speed-dial.

I would go see it...whatever it is. This has been the best Batman series I have ever seen, and I have seen them all!!!Guardian • 22 minutes ago
It CAN be done. The actors involved have to remember that it is a GROUP project and not be divas about it. Every one of them cannot expect a 50 million dollar payout like Downey Jr. got for the Avengers.Scrooge • 10 minutes ago

Bale cant act and we need a NEW Batman!
Ledger made the last Batman Movie with his Joker!

you are a retard...Most people like Bale in the role.J 1 minute 18 seconds ago
I dissagree completely. Bale is a great actor and really made this franchise work. I bet you liked Batman Forever. Nothing beats the original Batman with Jack Nickolson, but this re-boot has been absolutely enjoyable all the way through so far. I can't even watch the comicbook garbage being made now. It is just a bunch on one-liners and no character development at all, no characters at all for that matter. Just one dimentional caricatures.Pedro • Los Angeles, California • 10 minutes ago

Yeah, Thor, Cap't America, Hulk - just like us!Dan S • 1 minute 5 seconds ago
Bale was decent as Wayne (except in the sequel, he looked like he was sleepwalking), not so much as Batman. Keaton in my opinion played the best live action Batman AND Bruce Wayne, and Conroy IS Batman. Anyway, you can bet there will be a reboot five years from now.Luman • Dayton, Ohio • 5 minutes ago
Is this based on a true story ?Diminyon Green • 4 minutes 56 seconds ago
They should bring michael keaton back to play batman ! i know he is a little old now but to hear some bones crack without special effects it would be worth $10.95 @ the movies
