Batman: Why Christian Bale Turned Down The Dark Knight 4 Movie - IGN Now ─ IGN

Christian Bale has revealed that Warner Bros. originally pitched him a fourth Batman film in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight series, though he ultimately decided to pass.

We breakdown what Bale told the Tortonto sun about why he didn't want to don the cape and cowl for a fourth time. The interview also explains Nolan's original vision for the Dark Knight trilogy that went on to gross over $2.4 billion at the global box office.

The trilogy reached its high point with The Dark Knight starring Heath Ledger as the Joker and is widely considered one of the best superhero movies ever made, so it's understandable why WB would want to keep the franchise going. Though the plot of The Dark Knight 4 was never revealed, we also speculate how it could have seen the Dark Knight return to help John Blake's Robin, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
