why not in batman vs. superman?


why wasn't bale in batman vs. superman? he was batman in the latest batman movies so why not? i didn't care for ben affleck as batman. i wanted to see bale and michael caine as alfred in it.

Bale's Batman is retired having fun all over the world with Selina.

Alfred Bale's Batman is having fun around the world with the Russian ballet!

I believe Bale clearly said he want Nolan as director if they want him to continue as batman.

reply

Because he's not stupid, duh. If he was Batman in Batman v Superman, it would destroy the continuity of Nolan's films.

reply

Correct, he wanted to be loyal to his version.

Why wasn't Sean Connery in Live and Let Die? Why wasn't George Lazenby in Man with the Golden Gun? Why wasn't Timothy Dalton in Goldeneye? Why wasn't Pierce Brosnan in Casino Royale?

Google it.

There's more to it than that, so it's not entirely comparable to those type of cases (no character arc and closure in them the way there was in TDK trilogy), but still, you're making a valid point as well.

Me too ! Was so disappointed

Because these new movies are not "in continuity" with the Dark Knight trilogy, plain and simple.
