Christian Bale Would Play Batman Again for Christopher Nolan

Perhaps you missed this bit of news from yesterday—Christian Bale mentioned to Screenrant that he’d be open to reprising the role of Batman again, but only if Christopher Nolan returned as director.

Warner Bros. Archivist Lisa Janney on the Batmobile & More

What’s it like to be in charge of Warner Bros. Pictures’ vast archive collection? We’re talking Batmobiles (lots of them), superhero costumes (Batman, Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, etc.), props, sets, and literal tons more.

One of the most iconic assets in all of Warner Bros. archives is currently parked outside of the Motion Picture Association’s newly refurbished headquarters in Washington D.C.—the Batmobile.

15 Images Celebrating Batman’s 75th: Still Swinging After All These Years

DC Comics formally recognizes March 30, 1939 as the official debut of Batman, created by comic book artist Bob Kane. Or was it his secret collaborator, Bill Finger? It's fitting that the exact origin for our most tortured superhero is still somewhat murky (and part of a panel at this year’s Comic-Con, “Who Created Batman?”). Whoever deserves the credit, the first time we got a glimpse of the caped crusader was actually in May of 1939,
