For the millions of us out there who saw The Dark Knight Rises over the summer, then you know that SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO STILL HAVENT SEEN IT: we learn that Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who played Det. John Blake is really Robin and takes over for Batman, becoming Nightwing after he's given coordinates to find the Batcave.
OKAY YOU CAN GO BACK TO READING NOW: So while Warner Bros. is wondering how they will continue (or reboot) the Batman franchise now that Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale are no longer attached, word on the street is that Joseph Gordon-Levitt may be in talks to play Batman in the highly-anticipated Justice League movie.
HitFix spills the tea:
According to sources, Joseph Gordon-Levitt absolutely will be appearing in "Justice League" as the new Batman.
Now here's where things get interesting. The more insistent the drumbeat has become, the more poking around I've been doing, and it's looking like we may see Gordon-Levitt in the suit earlier than that. They're a long way from filming anything "Justice League" related, but they appear to be solidifying deals for Gordon-Levitt and, potentially, at least one other actor from the Nolan films to do… something.
Well, he's been looking buff lately (remember his stripper opener in SNL?) and to be honest, it's not a bad idea. I could actually co-sign on this plan.
I did hear rumors that Armie Hammer (The Social Network, upcoming Lone Ranger) was being considered for the Batman role, but I have no idea what came of that. I have been a fan of JGL's for a long time, and I think he might be able to pull off playing Batman, depending on how good the script is and who directs. I loved his little cameo in Halloween H20 and from Mysterious Skin to Looper he's proven himself to be quite the young character actor. While everyon'e busy jumping on the Channing Tatum bandwagon with his hot body, sexy face and stiff acting, JGL in my opinion is the real deal.
