Bale Interested In Third Batman Film

The big question is, of course, would Batman actor Christian Bale don the cape and cowl for another time?

"Let's wait and see," Bale said. "I would, knowing the 'Dark Knight' story, like very much to complete a trilogy. And I think that knowing the story of 'The Dark Knight,' it leaves you anticipating something that really can get very, very interesting for a third. Now, the question would be: Is Chris [Nolan] going to be doing it? Because to me I find it tricky to imagine working on it without it being a collaboration with Chris."

That's a promising sign because when "Batman Begins" was put together, a story treatment for two further films was created by director Chris Nolan and writer David Goyer. Also, Bale's deal for the 'Batman' franchise covered three films.

All this means it is very likely that another Bat-sequel will happen, and it probably would be released in the summer of 2011.

Who would the Caped Crusader face in that movie?

Indications are that Two Face would vex Batman in the film (although if that character had anything to do with it, he would have appeared in the second movie).

Other possibilities include the Mad Hatter (done as a psycho bad guy who likes to torture both mind and body), the Penguin (portrayed as an arms dealer from Great Britain), Killer Croc (a wrestler with terrible skin) or Poison Ivy (an eco-terrorist attempting to fight polluting businessmen).

"The Dark Knight" premieres in theaters on July 18.
