Christian Bale & Morgan Freeman Say Batman Vs. Superman Won’t Beat The Dark Knight (Video)

Ben Affleck has some big shoes to fill as the previous Batman, Christian Bale, was popular amongst the fans as was Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy.

ET caught up with both Bale and Morgan Freeman who offered they don’t think anything will ever be better than their Nolan Batman movies.

“Everyone brings their own element to that — Ben [Affleck] will do that as well,” Bale said about playing Batman. “I think the trailers are looking great and I’m looking forward to that.”

Morgan Freeman had his own two cents to add.

“I’m happy for Ben [Affleck], but I don’t know how that’s gonna work,” Morgan Freeman said, who played Lucius Fox for Nolan. “Because The Dark Knight was almost ‘it.’ Pretty much ‘it.’ Did you see Batman Begins? I don’t think you can beat that.”

“Right on for Morgan [Freeman] for saying no one will ever be that, I very much like him,” Bale responded.

Watch the video below.

Update: Bale also talks Batman and Heath Ledger’s Joker.

Batman Vs. Superman opens March 25th.
