  • Christian Bale's return as Batman for The Dark Knight 4 hinges on a specific condition. Options for the fourth installment include adapting Batman Beyond or passing the mantle to Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character. However, the likelihood of The Dark Knight 4 materializing is slim due to the saturation of existing Batman movie franchises.

      Robert Pattinson and Ben Affleck are more true to the character though, but Bales definitely top 3. The Dark Knight is one of my favourite movies. Would’ve been amazing if Heath made it in The Dark Knight Rises as planned, God rest his soul. RIP to the greatest Joker ever 💜💚

    Honestly I think a better story (considering passage of time and aging) would be Bale returning but *not* putting on the suit, but instead playing 'old man Bruce', training an heir; *cough* Terry McGinnis *cough* I mean it could quite literally be the 4th installment called, "Batman Beyond" ;)

  • @cjkalandek996
    @cjkalandek996 Před 13 dny +2

    No. Bale's Batman had a good ending (I don't care what anyone says about _TDKR)._
    The whole point of _TDKR_ was Bruce rising above his need for Batman; to realize he can actually have a life of his own and not be dictated by the idea of this symbol he created.
    Hell, both Christian Bale and David S. Goyer said it themselves in the special features of the movie that the lesson Bruce had to learn was that, sooner or later, he had to walk away from Gotham and his anger. Because it's gotten to the point where his life has gotten almost self-destructive due to him allowing what has happened in his life dictate what he did with his life. And that the only way to get rid of his depression, live and not die, and be forever free of his demons is he had to let go of his anger, Gotham, his whole identity; everything and basically say "Okay. What I've done is good enough. My dad would've been proud".

  • @HabibHasan110
    @HabibHasan110 Před 13 dny +5

    In my opinion, a Batman Beyond spinoff movie would be better than a 4th Dark Knight movie. Seeing Christian Bale as old man Bruce Wayne mentoring Terry McGinnis or John Blake to be the new Batman would be really interesting and cool. They can make that happen probably in the same way Sylvester Stallone and Ryan Coogler did when making Creed. Hopefully, it will happen in some way🙏🏼🔥🦇

    I wish nolan would give in and make more i mean i know he got enough money but do it for the fans plus there's the fact he ended the third film in a way the opens up the possibility of robin or nightwing but i actually would really love for Nolan to make the live action of batman beyond with the main protagonist Terry Beginis as new modified batman and bale as batman and mentor i mean if anyone could do this justice as a live action Nolan definitely could the man is a writing genius

  • @knightridernz72
    @knightridernz72 Před dnem

    Understandable condition. I wouldn't want him to be Batman again either unless Nolan was in charge. If there was an interesting story to tell then maybe he'd be back. He only intended to make one movie with Batman Begins but ended up with a trilogy. If the right story presented itself, I'm sure Nolan would be interested but having led 3 Batman films already, I understand if he wouldn't wanna come back. He's done his Batman thing and wants to do other kinds of projects.

  • @WhereOceansMeeet
    @WhereOceansMeeet Před 6 dny

    While I don't think a 4th film is necessary, it would be nice to see Bale in the role again. The problem with bringing him back is if the film isn't as good, they could ruin a great trilogy. Plus, as with Jackman in Wolverine, the same actor can only do the character for so long, so outside of killing his character off and allowing someone else to take over in that universe, people will always want more. At least this way they sent him off on a high note and as they say, "It's better to burn out than fade away."

OR, Joseph Gorden Levitt instead becomes the NEW Batman.....BATMAN BEYOND and Wayne is Old Bruce Wayne mentoring Robin (who is now The New Batman Beyond). The Joker is one of the Villains (played also by Joseph Gorden Levitt as he CAN pull it off (see HIs Cobra Commander)) as well as The Scarecrow comes back in Full force...the New Mayor is Penguin who should be played by one of the Famouse Short Jewish guys in Hollyood...Maybe the Seinfeld guy...Georga Costanza....or someone similar......introduce Harley Quinn who can be played by singer Avril Levigne....and Whalah!
