RUMOUR: Will Christian Bale Return As Batman In JUSTICE LEAGUE?


Take this with a grain of salt, considering we recently learned that Warner Bros scrapped the Will Beall script that was being used for Justice League, but Latino Review are reporting that Christian Bale is wanted to return to the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman in the movie. Additionally, Zack Snyder is mentioned as a potential director (after the success of Man of Steel at test screenings) and Christopher Nolan is apparently the ‘Godfather’ of the DC Cinematic Universe, which probably will end up happening.

So let’s pretend like this is news is actually surprising for a moment (did anyone NOT expect the WB to court both Nolan and Bale for the Justice League? Until they’re both officially signed on, it’s common sense to assume that the studio will want their 2 biggest draws to return)

But back to the main point… if this is true, there are a few complications:

  • 1. The public believes Bruce Wayne is dead.
  • 2. The Nolan Batman universe is said to have no connections to other DC movies.
  • 3. John Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is now Batman.

If that didn’t get you excited, Bale has previously said he would return if Nolan was involved, and a movie based on World’s Finest is apparently “still on the cards”. Nobody really knows who’ll be scripting the movie now, however it’s incredibly likely that it will end up being either Jonah Nolan or David Goyer, or both.

What do you think? Do you want to see Christian Bale back as Batman in Justice League? What about John Blake? Share your thoughts below.
