Bale hopes Nolan accepts third 'Batman'

Christian Bale is praying 'The Dark Knight' director Christopther Nolan signs up for a third Batman film - because nobody will be able to better the moviemaker's previous efforts.

Bale was directed by Nolan in 2005's 'Batman Begins' and reprised his role as the caped crusader for last year's box office smash, which grossed more than $1bn (€750m) worldwide.
