Actor Christian Bale will reprise his role as Batman for the third time - but only if director Chris Nolan is at the helm.

The British star has appeared as Bruce Wayne and his caped alter-ego in both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. And Bale is willing to star in another film as the superhero - but only if it means working under Nolan again.

He tells Britain's GQ magazine, "I would certainly hope (Nolan) would be on board for a third installment of Batman. If he wasn't I'd have to think long and hard about whether I'd want to continue myself."
