The actor, who starred as Batman in the "Dark Knight" trilogy, revealed he hasn’t ruled out the idea of reprising his role as Bruce Wayne. However, the 48-year-old would only do it under one condition: if director Christopher Nolan also returned. Nolan, 51, directed Bale in 2005’s "Batman Begins," as well as 2008’s "The Dark Knight" and 2012’s […]
"Elvis" has entered the theaters, but in a package that often recalls the excesses associated with his Vegas-residency years: Looking bloated, gaudy and at times bordering on self-parody.
