Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Reps Deny His Rumored Involvement With JUSTICE LEAGUE
Following the somewhat controversial rumour that Joseph Gordon-Levitt will don the iconic cowl as 'Batman' in Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment's Justice League, reps for the actor have completely dismissed the news. Read on for details!
We usually get a "No Comment" or outright denial when it comes to most casting rumours, so it shouldn't come as a huge surprise to learn that Joseph Gordon-Levitt's reps have flat out denied his involvement with Justice League. It was thought that the Looper star would reprise his role from The Dark Knight Rises as 'John Blake', first with a cameo in Man of Steel and then as a member of the League. While this would have placed the highly anticipated superhero ensemble in the same universe as Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, it still riled fans that 'Bruce Wayne' would not be beneath the cowl. Well, Hollywood.com, "checked in with Gordon-Levitt's reps who have refuted the rumor entirely." It seems far more likely that this "rumour" has been leaked by Warner Bros. simply as a way of boosting interest in the release of The Dark Knight Rises on DVD and Blu-ray next week, but you'll have to make sure to stay tuned for any further updates!
