The real reason why Christopher Nolan never returned to direct 4th Batman film; Christian Bale was told his ‘services were no longer required’

Hindustan Times  

Christopher Nolan’s trilogy of Batman films changed the superhero movie landscape, and their influence can still be felt today. But Nolan and star Christian Bale were given the opportunity to return for a fourth Batman movie, and both said ‘no’. But also we never were arrogant to assume that we had an opportunity beyond one film at a time.” The actor continued, “That’s something that Chris always would talk about. ‘Let’s walk away after that.’” Nolan directed Bale in three Batman films -- Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. That’s why we, well Chris, stepped away.” After that, the actor laughed, “I was informed my services were no longer required.” At a 2012 conference, Nolan flat-out rejected the idea of making a fourth Batman film.
