Christian Bale To Play Batman In Justice League?

The guys over at Latino-Review have decided to spend this fine evening dropping an atomic-bomb-level rumor that will send fanboys into a tizzy.  The site is reporting three major developments when it comes to Justice League and Warner Bros. trying to figure out how they're going to combat Disney's one-two franchise punch of Marvel and Star Wars.  So far, Warners has been struggling with their superheroes.  They're all out of Batman, and while there's some very early positive buzz on Man of Steel, their highly-anticipated Justice League movie reportedly had to go back to square one early last month when Will Beale's script was tossed out.

Latin0-Review's latest rumour is that, Chris Nolan is producing Justice League, Zack Snyder will produce and possibly direct and Christian Bale will reprise his role as Bruce Wayne and Batman. In a video report, Latino-Review's El Mayimbe says,

"Christopher Nolan has completely taken over the DCU at Warner Bros.  Anything having to do with these super heroes, goes through him now."

Warner Bros. needs a hit. As Latino Review points out, the franchise landscape is awfully crowded these days what with THE AVENGERS (Disney), STAR WARS (Disney again!) and many others. WB has made a lot of cash off of Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne so having him return would put asses in seats. It would be their best shot at making JUSTICE LEAGUE a monster hit.

There's a lot to be concerned about. Do they still want to make that Summer 2015 release date? If so,

• they'll have to rush and that doesn't bode well for the project.
• Secondly, would Christian Bale's return really make sense?

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see him (batman) suit up again but, as I've said before, The Dark Knight Rises perfectly concluded that tale. His return would have to be warranted and believable.

• Thirdly, is this JUSTICE LEAGUE film transforming into a WORLD'S FINEST movie instead? That is, will it just be a Batman/Superman movie or will the rest of the League show up?

Batman and Superman are enough for their own movie wouldn't you say? There are so many questions and so many possibilities but so little confirmation. We trust Latino Review so this rumor probably has a lot of truth to it. If it all pans out and comes to pass, it'll be quite a big deal. I can see the headlines now: "BALE'S BACK". Don't you?
