New Batman Casting Rumors

The newest Man of Steel sequel movie rumor has surfaced, and we've got the scoop for you fellow bat-fans!

According to CosmicBookNews, Dark Knight trilogy director/writer Christopher Nolan has strongly recommended Wes Bentley as the Caped Crusader in the upcoming 2015 film. Nolan, who was a producer on Man of Steel, is directing Interstellar, a movie about space and presumably time travel, which stars Bentley.

Assuming that Nolan's recommendation is coming coming from working with him first hand, I have complete faith in Mr. Nolan. If he believes Bentley would be a great addition to the DC silver screen universe, I do as well. Plus, just Look at Bentley, he fits the role well. He's handsome enough to pull off Bruce Wayne, plus... HE HAS BLACK HAIR. Finally, a Bruce Wayne with black hair. My only fear is that maybe Bentley couldn't pull of the darker edgier side of Bruce. Could he stomp a thugs face into the pavement? Could he jump from building to building without missing a step? Could he yell "WHERE IS THE TRIGGER?!" extremely loud? I guess we'll just have to wait and find out.
