The Watchmen director had previously expressed interest in turning Frank Miller's graphic novel, about an ageing Bruce Wayne coming out of retirement to take on Gotham City criminals for one last time, into a full-length feature film.
Snyder revealed that he hopes that the proposed superhero venture will eventually be made, while he would also like Dark Knight star Bale to headline his production.
He told MTV: "It will be only 20 years from now, and it’ll be Christian Bale in his 50s. And by then, Chris [Nolan] will be over it and I'll roll up and be like, 'Let's make a Dark Knight movie!'"
He added: "A scenario like that is probably the only way I could see it happening. [But Bale] would be tired of it, I'm sure."
The filmmaker recently announced details about Vanessa Hudgens's role in his upcoming film Sucker Punch, due out in cinemas in 2011.
