Quote: HitFix is reporting that according to their sources, Joseph Gordon-Levitt will "absolutely" be returning as Batman in "Justice League" (sorry Armie Hammer). Furthermore, they hear rumblings that Gordon-Levitt -- and possibly one other actor from the Nolan-verse -- will suit up earlier, and they basically suggest that he could pop his head into "Man Of Steel" in some sort of Marvel-esque world-building scheme. On the one hand, we're sure Warner Bros. would love to find a way to build off of Nolan's wildly successful trilogy, which for now has been viewed as being completely self-contained. However, this whole plan sounds like the exact antithesis of Nolan's approach, who has more or less sought to have his Batman pictures stand independently from anything else.
JGL is too short to play Batman.

Good. I now WB wants to duplicate the success of the Avengers and try to have tie-ins, but I think Nolan's Batman is a world apart. They should leave that out entirely.

I disagree with the notion that Nolan's Batman wouldn't work in the greater DC Universe. I think there is a ton of potential of having a "real world" Batman suddenly confronted by a Superman or Flash. His adjustment to that new world could be real interesting. That said only if Bale came back otherwise start over.

Maybe.
But Nolan's Batman was grounded in a world where aliens from other planets that are super strong and can fly don't really seem to make sense; seem less believable.
I think it would feel weird to squeeze that Batman into a world with Superman, Martian Manhunter and Wonder Woman. Maybe not. Maybe they could pull it off, but it feels unnecessary and high risk.

That's the best part. A flying alien wouldn't make sense in our world either. Batman would be experiencing the same thing we would if Superman/aliens suddenly arrived. You take the awe and wonder out if its a given that superheroes are everywhere and it's no big deal.

Actually, that is kind of an interesting angle. I could see that working. It would be tricky, but the payoff could be fantastic.
