Joseph Gordon-Levitt to play Batman in 'Justice League' movie?

The 31-year-old actor, whose "Dark Knight Rises" character John Blake appeared to inherit the Batman mantle at the close of Christopher Nolan's blockbuster, is allegedly in process of a deal to return as the superhero for 2015's "Justice League", reported Digital Spy online.

Gordon-Levitt and one other unnamed star from Nolan's Batman trilogy may appear in "Justice League". Henry Cavill's "Man of Steel" could feature in a cameo appearance from Gordon-Levitt's Batman.

Director Zack Snyder hinted in a recent interview that his Superman reboot, which arrives next summer, may tie into "Justice League".u00a0
