Bale hangs up the Batcape

Christian Bale has ruled himself out of ever playing Batman in a 'Justice League' film.

The 39-year-old star - who portrayed the caped crusader in Christopher Nolan's 'Dark Knight' movie trilogy - insists he will not reprise the role in the long-rumoured DC Comics superhero team-up project, but is looking forward to seeing what another actor can do with the character.
