Rumor: Gordon-Levitt to be Batman in Justice League movie

[Doug Strange]

I thought Batman 1989 was insulting to my intelligence when I saw it when I was 9.

Okay, so, congrats on being smart. That wasn't the point. I still think you're limiting yourself any time you say, "THIS IS THE DEFINITIVE VERSION AND I SHALL BROOK NO OTHERS."

Anyway, despite this, JGL as Batman in the JLA is still probably not a great idea. That alone wouldn't make me skip a JLA movie, but add that to Ryan Reynolds and you are really stretching my magnanimousness.

JGL. Batman why the hell not a bit of harsh training and we got Batman.

Hmm... Gordon-Levitt as Batman is quite an interesting twist! I like it!

[Kensei]

And to think that he was once rumored to be playing the Riddler.

Wow, this seems like a sourpuss way to go through life. I haven't seen the new Amazing Spider-Man movie, but I've heard good things...and X-Men: First Class was, to me, far and away the best X-Men film...and it WAS connected to the earlier movies, to boot. There were some minor glitches here and there, but it never hampered my enjoyment of the film.

Why did you even watch the Nolan movies? They weren't connected to the Burton series! And why isn't Adam West still in the cape and cowl?! Everybody knows he's the REAL live action Batman. Except if you watched the 40's serial...

Anyway, making Batman Blake in a Justice League movie is a pretty stupid idea. This project needs to think bigger if it wants to come anywhere close to the Avengers film. And I don't just mean "Batman = Bruce" bigger. I mean, it's got to be its own thing. Tying it to films that were made without any intention of leading to something bigger just seems like a disaster.

This is pretty much how I would sum it up.

quite the evolved little nine year old.............

lols yeah the video sums up for me too. The team will lose some dynamic without Bruce.

[TheGoshDarnBatman]

Good god if this happens please let enough time have passed that JGL can be a Batman actually Batgod-y enough to be helpful to the JLA.

And doubly so for no taking off the mask. I like the idea of a superhero film with no civilian identities at all.

[StopRightThere]

It won't work unless he's playing Bruce Wayne Batman. But JGL as John Blake Batman in a one-off Nolanverse spinoff? Sure!

[bkey313]

That parody video was spot on. A comic based on the Blake characther would be a better idea.

The more I dwell on Levitt being Batman, the less I like it. I like the idea of him doing it temporarily because I've liked the Nolan movies and Levitt as an actor, but ultimately, most people won't like Batman continuing without the name "Bruce Wayne". So if they want to do one movie with him, okay. But beyond that, me and many others probably won't like it.

However, have enough explosions, compelling story, and T & A then it will do well in the box office.
