Christian Bale: "This Will Be the Last Time I'm Playing Batman" AKA Goodbye Career! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This may be the end for the Dark Knight.

The caped crusader himself, Christian Bale, recently sat down with E! News' own Ben Lyons to talk about how he chooses his roles to clearing up rumors surrounding The Dark Knight Rises.

Turns out, Bale has a very straightforward technique for sifting through all the speculation:

"Until Chris [Nolan] tells me, I don't believe it," Bale says. "It's gotta be from his mouth, or else I don't really know."

But there's one very important bit of information Nolan hasn't yet shared with his star. And it's kind of difficult to hear if you're a fan of the reinvigorated franchise: "The thing is that this will be, I believe, unless Chris says different, this will be the last time I'm playing Batman."

Let's just hope Chris says different.

Bale does a great job as Batman, I've really enjoyed his two performances. But...by the time the next film is out...it will be 2011, and the next one won't be till 2014 or so...by that time he'll be 41. Not too old by my standards, but probably by Hollywood's.

I guess we should all enjoy it while we can.
