London, July 18 (ANI): Christian Bale has revealed that he spent a good 20 minutes alone in his Batman costume after 'The Dark Knight Rises', the last movie of batman trilogy wrapped.

The actor admitted that as soon as the crew wrapped up the set, he quickly left the set to be by himself for a moment of reflection in his Caped Crusader cowl.

It was a fairly low-key affair. I don't like big goodbyes so I said goodbye to everybody fairly quickly and then sat in the outfit and the cowl for a good 20 minutes, the Daily Express quoted him as telling Daily Mirror.

I was just reflecting (on) what it had meant to me through the years.

Bale credits the big-budget franchise with giving him the freedom to pick and choose his roles, but admits he now wants to get involved in smaller projects, he said.

Before Batman I would have these wonderful creative conversations with directors and writers and they'd always say, 'I'd love you to make my movie.' And then financiers would get involved and they'd say, 'Don't even mention Christian Bale to me.

It's not going to happen.' Well, that's changed and now I get to make movies that nobody would have cast me in previously... I want to make some small movies now. I'm looking at very different kinds of movies, he added. (ANI)
