Another day, another bombshell superhero rumor. The one making the rounds today comes courtesy of Moviehole, who allege that Warner Bros, in the midst of putting together a new “Justice League” movie in answer to Marvel’s “The Avengers”, is looking to a familiar face to play one of the League’s marquee members: Batman.
Back in 2007, a then-unknown Armie Hammer had come thisclose to immortalizing his Bruce Wayne on screen; he had tried on the suit and was days away from shooting on George Miller’s “Justice League of America.” Then, the writer’s strike happened, the film lost nearly half of its funding, and the project went up in smoke. In the years since, Hammer has become a much more recognizable screen presence, thanks in no small part due to his portrayal of twins in David Fincher’s “The Social Network”, and Moviehole’s sources believe he is back at the top of WB’s wishlist to take on the role that was once his in this new incarnation of the DC superhero team-up.
It’s probably still too early to tell how successful she’ll be, but British model/actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley seems intent on giving this acting thing a real shot. She was hand picked by Michael Bay to take over for Megan Fox in “Transformers: Dark of the Moon”, but let’s be real. It was a Michael Bay movie, and she had to do little more than look good in a tight dress. Well, perhaps her new role will solidify her ambitions and abilities a bit more.
