The rumor mill for this movie is really starting to pick up ever since WB confirmed George Miller as the director. Now we have some casting news to share regarding who's playing Batman and Green Lantern. As expected, WB wants this to be a monster hit, so they're looking for name actors in the main roles. If not for all the league then definitely at least for the Big Three (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman).
According to BoF, every name actor that Miller and WB have approached to play Batman are backing away because they don't want to step on Christian Bale's toes. This is understandable. Everyone loves what he and Nolan are doing with The Dark Knight and they don't want to be seen by the public as trying to take the role away. It's a predicament because they don't see themselves casting an unknown in a role as big as Batman, especially if the script reports are true and he's playing such a heavy role in the plot.
As for Green Lantern, several actors are currently in the running, but we only know about two so far. UGO is reporting that Tyrese Gibson is the guy who might fill into the green-and-black tights, while IESB.net suggested that rapper T.I. had already read for the role.
Let's wait and see who is worthy enough to hold the most powerful ring in the universe.
