IESB: Are you doing Justice League after TDK?
Bale: No
IESB: Have you been approached for Justice League?
Bale: No
IESB: How would you feel about the studio recasting Batman for Justice League?
Bale: It’d be better if it doesn’t tread on the toes of what we’re doing, though I feel that it would be better if it comes out after Batman 3.
So there you go. As clear as you like. My first thought is that the movie would be better off without a Batman than re-casting him. But a JLA flick without Bats? Would that really work?
