Hot Rumor: Will Joseph Gordon-Levitt play Batman in the Justice League?

The webs are buzzing about Joseph Gordon-Levitt being the new Batman in the JL movie. If you remember the ending of The Dark Knight Rises, Joseph was given the rights to the Batcave and all of the 'Wonderful Toys'.

Since, Christian Bale isn't returning and this series doesn't want to die, could this be real?

Maybe, according to HitFix:

According to sources, Joseph Gordon-Levitt absolutely will be appearing in "Justice League" as the new Batman.

Now here's where things get interesting. The more insistent the drumbeat has become, the more poking around I've been doing, and it's looking like we may see Gordon-Levitt in the suit earlier than that. They're a long way from filming anything "Justice League" related, but they appear to be solidifying deals for Gordon-Levitt and, potentially, at least one other actor from the Nolan films to do… something.

Well, he's been looking buff lately (remember his stripper opener in SNL?) and to be honest, it's not a bad idea. I could actually co-sign on this plan.

I guess we will see how this rumor plays out.
