<p>Christian Bale shall always be associated with the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman in Christopher Nolan`s `Dark Knight` trilogy, but it is now revealed that not everyone had earlier believed in the duo`s portrayal of the character.</p>

<p>Starting with `Batman Begins` and most notably in `The Dark Knight,` Bale and Nolan grounded the character in a level of realism the comic book movie genre had never seen.

<p>"I would [tell people] we`re going to sort of do Batman, but take him seriously. I had tons of people laugh at me and just say, `Well, that`s just not going to work at all.

<p>Bale is next returning to the genre as the villainous `Gorr the God Butcher` in `Thor: Love and Thunder.` "I don`t have any goodbye and thank you unless other people say to me `goodbye and thank you, please never revisit this again` then I`ll take their word for it. But otherwise, a good story is a good story. A good film is a good film. And a good director is a good director. And I`m open to any of those ideas," Bale added.</p>

<p>Bale recently made headlines by telling ScreenRant that he`s not entirely opposed to revisiting Batman or Bruce Wayne in another `Dark Knight` film. However, the Oscar winner has one condition; Nolan must be the director of the movie.</p>

<p>Bale said, "I had a pact with Chris Nolan. We said, `Hey, look, let`s make three films, if we`re lucky enough to get to do that. And then let`s walk away.
