As of late, rumours have been circulating the web, claiming that Joseph Gordon-Levitt will dawn the cape and cowl as Batman in the Justice League of America film.
Now, while the reported Justice League film is months away from shooting, this hasn’t stopped internet bloggers who sniffed out some blood in the water. The root of the rumour may be traced back to an interview posted on hitfix.com, where Levitt stated that “if the script inspires me, and there’s a filmmaker that I respect and connect to” he would consider the role of Batman. That being said, his response simply comes across as a run-of-the-mill answer for any actor, when asked about playing a part in a film.
However, to add some fuel to the Batman/Levitt fire is the fact that there have also been rumours (yes, more of them) that claim he will be given a cameo in the new Superman film Man of Steel, set to be released in 2013. At first glance, this may come across as nothing but hearsay, but that’s because there are some dots that need to be connected. They are as follows: Levitt had a role in The Dark Knight Rises; at the end of TDKR (spoiler alert), director Chris Nolan hinted at the fact that Levitt would take on the role of Robin (or Batman) in the Batman universe they created; Nolan is co-producing the Man of Steel film. Piecing together these tidbits of information, it seems possible that there may be a grain of truth to these rumours.
Despite that Levitt has come a long way as an actor, from his humble beginnings on 3rd Rock from the Sun, is it possible that this 5’9, 150lbs. actor can suit up to play Batman? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
