Christian Bale wants to make an X-rated 'Batman' movie.

The British actor - who stars as Batman/Bruce Wayne in 'The Dark Knight' - thinks the movie franchise could benefit from including a few steamy sex scenes.

He said: "I do think there is room for an 18-rated 'Batman'. It's a little bit tricky to broach the sex aspect of the story when you want kids to come see it as well. I mean, I think it would be very interesting to do a 12 version and an 18 version - two different cuts."

Christian also revealed he doesn't share his character's interest in high-tech gadgets.

The 34-year-old star added: "I am terrible with gadgets! I left school without ever even touching a computer.

"I do like motorbikes, that's the one thing I am interested in. I do tend to break or crash them though!"
