"For me, Gotham and these characters, I'm done. I've told our story and I'm moving on," he told Access, explaining that he'd love to see Anne play the character again under another director's guidance. "I certainly think she deserves it, she's incredible."

"I'm done, we've been working on this for about nine years," he told Access. "I've really, really enjoyed it. It's really exciting to get to the end and I've got to move on and figure out something else to do."
"The Dark Knight Rises" hits theaters on July 20.
