The Dark Knight actor Christian Bale says he's up for the challenge of making a third Batman movie — and he's contractually obligated to do so.

Bale showed his ambitious side when totalfilm.com asked him about the possibility of a second sequel to director Chris Nolan's 2005 franchise reboot, Batman Begins.

"I would like it if people say, 'You'll never make a good third movie,'" he said. "I say, 'OK, let's make a third movie in that case, let's prove them wrong. But that's just me. The fact is, I have to! I've signed up! Chris doesn't. So I'm in a bit of a fix if he says he doesn't want to!"

In the interview, which is the second installment of a five-parter totalfilm.com is rolling out this week, Bale also talks about his Oscar-winning Dark Knight co-star, the late Heath Ledger.

Bale plays robot-battling resistance fighter John Connor in the upcoming Terminator Salvation, due in theaters May 21.
