Christian Bale admitted recently that Dark Knight Rises--the last in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy--will be the last time he's playing the role of the caped crusader.
The Dark Knight Rises is expected to lean closer to its predecessor's numbers at the box office when it hits theatres on July 20, 2012.
The latest - and some say final - film in the franchise stars Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy and Anne Hathaway.
