Christian Bale up for another Batman film

The British actor had signed up with director Christopher Nolan to play Batman for three films, but Bale says he wouldn't mind doing another if Nolan wants to.

Christian, who won best supporting actor for The Fighter at yesterday's Screen Actors Guild Awards, told Empire magazine: 'All I know is the likelihood that this will be the last one.

'Well, I wouldn't say definitely. If Chris goes, 'Hey, I've got another story I think could be interesting,' then yeah, great, I'd go do that. I always assumed it would be three, but I could be wrong. I don't know if there's something wrong with me, but I don't feel any pressure.'

The 37-year-old says he doesn't know much about the next installment, The Dark Knight Rises.

He added: 'If I told you, a bullet would come flying through the window and take me out. Plus I kind of like this mystery that Chris has about all the movies - I'm quite happy to play ball with that.

'But you'd be surprised at how little I know.'
