"I wrapped a few days ago so that will be the last time I'm taking that cowl off" Bale told the Philippine Daily Inquirer. "I believe 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."
The actor has played Bruce Wayne and his superhero alter-ego since 2005's Batman Begins, which earned more than $372 million worldwide. The 2008 sequel, The Dark Knight
raked in more than $1 billion at the box office.
If this is the Finish for Bale & Nolan--whomever takes over has a steep hill to climb and BIG shoes to fill
Later in the chat Bale praises each of his co-stars in TDKR, but thinks
Anne Hathaway, had the film's toughest job.
"When Chris watched the screen test, he agreed that Anne did a wonderful job. In many ways, she has the hardest job. There are a number of people who feel that the Catwoman role has been defined previously. So, I always saw Anne's role as being the toughest job of any of us."
Tom Hardy Joseph Gordon-Levitt Marion Cotillard Josh Pence, Alon Aboutboul and Nestor Carbonell star along with return of the trilogy's ensemble cast such as Morgan Freeman Gary Oldman and Michael Caine Cillian Murphy might be making a cameo
Matthew Modine Tom Conti 11-year-old actress Joey King Daniel Sunjata Diego Klattenhoff Christopher Judge "CSI: Miami" co-star Adam Rodriguez and Burn Gorman take on secondary roles. Rob Brown and Italian actor Massi Furlan have small roles in the film as well
