Of course, but you could always argue that was an Elseworlds or Earth-2 Universe in which their are the same characters that take on different roles and personalities. I doubt that would fly for Nolan, but theoretically they could bring back Bale as a different version of Batman/Bruce without any connection to Nolan's trilogy.
I just keep so seeing many terrible choices being recommended for the movie it scares me that DC/Warners will make the wrong choice and completely screw everything up from the get go. Bale might not have been perfect himself, but it's just the safe, logical decision to make. Who else is there? Jake Gyllenhaal, Bradley Cooper, Josh Holloway, Jon Hamm, etc. Not really loving any of those rumored choices; just too many pretty boys who probably wouldn't be able to play a darker character.
I'm thinking they'll end up going with JGL for some reason, but people won't be very accepting of someone other than Bruce Wayne donning Batman's tights imo. Much like Cavill, Levitt is cheap, pretty well respected, and young enough to be in movies for decades if required.
