Christian Bale says he hasn’t seen Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, the last installment in the filmmaker’s Batman trilogy, since 2012’s Aurora shooting.
In an interview on MTV’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, Christian Bale mentioned that not only has he not seen Affleck’s Batman yet, but he hasn’t even seen The Dark Knight Rises since 2012’s Aurora shooting. He said: “Very sadly, I have not been able to watch that film since because of the whole tragedy of Aurora.
Bale played the Caped Crusader one last time in Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises in 2012, and the role has now been passed onto Ben Affleck.
Considering that the shooting took place on opening night of Bale’s final Batman film, it’s understandable that he would think of the shooting whenever he tries to watch The Dark Knight Rises and, therefore, would be reluctant to watch the film at all.
