Christian Bale recently spoke with Phillippine Daily Inquirer about some upcoming projects and working on the upcoming film “The Dark Knight Rises” by director Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, Inception, Memento) co-starring Anne Hathaway (The Devil Wears Prada, Get Smart, Alice in Wonderland, The Silver Linings Playbook), Tom Hardy (Inception, RocknRolla, Bronson), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Elektra Luxx, 3rd Rock from the Sun), Morgan Freeman (The Shawshank Redemption, The Dark Knight, Se7en), Gary Oldman (The Professional, The Fifth Element) and Michael Caine (Cars 2, Gnomeo & Juliet, Inception, Harry Brown). Here’s an excerpt from the interview.

“I wrapped a few days ago so that will be the last time I’m taking that cowl [Batman hood] off,” he told Phillippine Daily Inquirer. “I believe that the whole production wrapped yesterday, so it’s all done. Everything’s finished. It’s me and Chris – that will be the end of that Batman era.”

Christian enjoyed playing the character Batman, “We always maintained from the beginning that if you wanted to break it down, there are three personas – Batman is sincere, the private Bruce Wayne is sincere. The public version of Bruce Wayne, the playboy, is a completely fabricated performance.”

He will also be working on two more films with Terrence Malick, “Lawless” and “Knight of Cups“. he says, “Terry is going to defy all expectations, and we’re going to fly through those movies.”
