The 42-year-old actor played the Caped Crusader in Christopher Nolan Dark Knight trilogy, with Affleck stepping in for the next Batman flicks.
Fans will first see the American star play Bruce Wayne/Batman in the upcoming "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", and Bale insisted he is excited to see what he does with the character, reported Entertainment Tonight.
"Everyone brings their own element to that - Ben will do that as well. I think the trailers are looking great and I'm looking forward to that," he said.
Instead, he changed the subject by revealing he loves watching Adam West play the role in the 1960s television series.
"It depends on who you talk with. You can't be Adam West, it just depends what you're in the mood for. I love watching Adam West.
