Joseph Gordon-Levitt would 'consider' joining 'Justice League' if asked

The 'Lincoln' actor would need an inspiring script and director


Are you a fan of Justice League?

Could Joseph Gordon-Levitt possibly go from playing a potential future superhero in "The Dark Knight Rises" to playing a full-fledged one in Warner Bros.' long-in-the-works "Justice League"?

While making the press rounds for his upcoming film "Lincoln," HitFix's Gregory Ellwood asked Gordon-Levitt whether he'd be interested in joining the superhero group if Warner Bros. were to ask him to. 

"You never know," he responded. "If the script inspires me and if there's a filmmaker that I respect and connect to...I'd consider anything."

In "Dark Knight Rises," it's implied that Gordon-Levitt's character may take up the mantle of the Bat after Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) retires. It's purely conjecture at this point, but could Warner Bros. be considering him for Batman in "Justice League"? Or would he perhaps suit up as a different hero, like The Flash?

It was recently reported that Warner Bros. is aiming to release "Justice League" in the summer of 2015 -- the same season as the highly-anticipated "Avengers 2."

Meanwhile, J.G.L. will soon be seen in Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," starring Daniel Day-Lewis as the 16th President. 

Would you like to see Joseph Gordon-Leavitt in "Justice League"? Which hero do you think he could pull off?

    Please God no. Don't link Nolan's Batman universe to a Justice League universe. I don't want to think that Superman and the Green Lantern are actually real in Nolan's realistic take on Batman.

      Jeff You and I have very different definitions of the word 'realistic'. I am pretty sure it takes more than 5 seconds to get out of range of a Nuke.

      BC Boy loses parents, becomes ninja, dresses up as a bat, fights crime by jumping off of tall buildings at night.

      Maybe not as realistic as you think.

      Ralf Caetano considering they may use nolans "man of steel" reality superman i'm ok with it green lantern wasn't that bad i think a sequel with more attention to detail could fix all the hate... as for joseph gordon-levitt i say he could only be robin or nightwing... christian bales bruce wayne could be well alive remember that... but if he does batman i don't mind at all

      34PJM43 Yeah, the Nolan trilogy was good for what it was. Let it end; we all know JGL isn't going to be playing Robin or Batman in any other films. Let Batman get back to basics: Bruce Wayne beating the Christ out of criminals with the help of high-tech gadgetry as he solves crimes. It's timeless and natural.

      Rises wasn't even that good anyway. The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 blew it out of the water. Rightfully so, since Batman's animated features have been kicking their live-action counterparts' butts for almost 20 years now. The Arkham games > Nolan's trilogy.

      WDJ5224PO3 JEFF, BC, 34PJM43, DSJJ251, C-3PO,
      Ryan was saying that Nolan attempted a realistic take on a fictional story, so the fact that Batman is fictional wasn't called into question.
      That said, I agree that Superman/GL/WW etc. should be kept separated from Nolan's Batman, because no matter how "dark" this new Man of Steel movie is, it's would be nonsensical to have Superman exist during the Batman trilogy (he could have easily stopped Bane, for e.g.).
      Batman will need to be reinvented for the JLA movie. Nolan's Batman will be standalone.

      Jonky At the 2012 SDCC Man of Steel panel they hinted at rebooting all the characters into order to make a Justice League. It seemed like Nolan's Batman is not going to be connected. Watch the Hall H Comic Con video in YouTube and decide for yourself.

    They have to connect it to Nolan's universe, for two reasons:

    1. Movies studios don't reboot on a high. They reboot after critical or commercial failure of a franchise, intending it to be a breath of fresh air. Nolan's Batverse doesn't need a breath of fresh air, because people effin love the air that's there right now.

    2. WB hired Nolan to Nolan-ify Superman. That Superman is going to be in the Justice League. They can't turn the tone of that standalone around on its heels and put out an Avengers-like JLA.

    For better or worse, this will be a Nolan-like JLA.

    And people would be excited to see Levitt continue that story.

    It would also be a very good idea for WB to use a JL movie to test Levitt in the role. If people don't respond to it, then they can reboot Batman in his own films.

    It makes no sense to mix up a winning formula.

      ed Nolan's Batman universe is done. The Justice League film will likely be introducing the next Batman. The actor that signs up for it will have to sign up for multiple sequels. Don't see JGL committing himself to a franchise like that.

      34PJM43 You're forgetting two things:

      1. Nolan said that after Rises, he was done. He signed on to Man of Steel before Rises even filmed. And even then, he's not the director; he's just one of the producers (a.k.a., fundraisers).

      2. Rises was disappointing. Nolan betrayed almost everything he set out to do with Batman in one movie. Not to mention that Bane wasn't the epic "end-boss" that this version of Batman deserved.

      DC doesn't need to do anything. Nolan wasn't involved with the creation of the Arkham games, or the animated Batman features that came out in the last few years. Do you know why? Because they didn't need him, and they in many ways came out better than Nolan's trilogy.

      dsjj251 @34PJM43

      your opinion is jaded, TDKR did exactly what Noland said it would.

      in the first film,Ducard/Ra's said that symbols are more powerful than anything, thats why batman took the fall for Harvey's death instead of portraying him as a mad man, and also why he(bruce) handed over the mantle of Batman proving anyone can be him, its the symbol that matters, thats what was conveyed through out the trilogy.

      I know people have different opinions on what they like and dislike, but your comment makes it seem as though you just didnt understand what the trilogy was about. It came full circle in my opinion. Heck, the animated movies you talk about did the exact same thing "sons of batman" and all.

      as for the games being better than the trilogy, thats a pure opinion and nothing more.

      34PJM43 My opinion is jaded? First off, don't try to guess what I do and don't understand when you don't even understand the term "jaded".

      Perhaps you don't understand what I was saying. Yeah, the whole "symbol" device was intact; that's not what I was talking about. In fact, if you think that Nolan was the one who gave the Batman franchise that device, you'd be dead wrong.

      Nolan betrayed his "realistic take" on Batman through Bane. So, an almost physically destroyed man who needs a constant feed of gas to keep him from writhing in pain is strong enough to destroy a huge concrete pillar with his bare hands (a feat that not even healthy strongman types can do)? On top of that, a virtually crippled Bruce Wayne can install a few gadgets on his person, fight like he's in his prime, get paralyzed, get healed in a few months, escape a foreign prison, and make it back to Gotham within a week with no identification or money? Nothing about that is feasible in the real world; you're better off leaving it in the fictional world and using the tried-and-true venom-Bane character. At least that would explain why all of these impossible things are happening.

      You're right; the games being better than the Nolan trilogy is my opinion. So what? It doesn't change the fact that DC doesn't really need Nolan, since Batman has been great outside of Nolan's trilogy.

      firs off, i didnt try to do anything, i simply replied to what you wrote.

      Jaded -made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience

      sure looks like your opinion to me :-)

      1. he was never paralized
      2. yes, people go through full rehab in a couple of months , that is totally feasible in the real world

      3.You dont need money, There are illegal immigrants in this nation form all over the world, none of them had the cash to get here, but they got here.
      Bane- how would bain having Venom explain anything you mentioned in that comment ???

      Your argument about Batman being good outside of Nolan pertains to video games and animated films.

      but its an arbitrary argument in the first place, No movie studio needs a certain director to do a film, the director doesnt own it.

      December 5, 2012 at 2:33AM EST
    • Default-avatar

      34PJM43 Jaded is a term used to describe people, not opinions. So yes, you don't understand what

      the word means.

      Batman had his back broken by Bane, so he might as well have been paralyzed. His back is

      fixed with almost no surgery, and his vertebrae being punched back into place; both things

      that doctors agree is impossible to heal a back injury like that.

      http://www.vulture.com/2012/07/ask-a-doctor-is-batmans-healing-method-sound.html


      Also, rehab would have taken about 8 months, especially with that bad of an injury. He

      might be up and walking in 3, but there's no way he'd be Batman-ing around.

      It's easy to jump the fence from Mexico to get into this country illegally; but when you're

      overseas and you want to be smuggled in, you need something to barter. Not to mention,

      it'd take a lot longer than a couple days to get here (try a couple weeks to a month, if

      you're lucky, seeing as how you'll probably be getting here by boat).

      The Venom would have at least explained why Bane was so strong. This movie gives no

      indication on why he has superhuman strength.

      Exactly; and that's part of my point. Nolan isn't needed for every single Batman movie

      that comes out after this. Nolan isn't the only one who can make Batman work in film.

      Dexx I'm sure that just about everyone paid attention yet we realize something that you seem to be ignoring which is that, despite the nod to the audience of his real name being Robin, the character wouldn't likely be dumb enough to use his real name as a superhero name. Would you, being named Brandon, call yourself Brandon if you were a superhero?

      Negro Blake's name is Robin, that's it. Blake is intended to take on the mantle of the Bat. I fail to see why people are still discussing this. Wayne has stated that Batman is a symbol and also that he wanted to pas on the roll to another for he couldn't do it forever.

    Peter

    Why is everyone here fixating on Batman's character, or other random DC characters?

    When Robin comes into his own as a hero and goes independent, he becomes Nightwing. I don't see any reason why a Justice League movie set in the near future after the events of The Dark Knight wouldn't work just fine. Batman can still be dead/retired/MIA, and if Nightwing shows up as the Justice League rep from Gotham, I wouldn't consider that out of place or much of a stretch at all.

    And it's certainly a circumstantial enough connection that, in the event of an utter failure of a movie, the Batman trilogy can remain untainted.

    Sounds like a win/win to me, no?

      JCA I might be in the minority for this but as you mentioned setting the JLA movie in the aftermath of TDKR events... To introduce The JL and Gordon-Levit they could 1st release the 2nd Green Lantern Project and do Blackest Night (in which Batman is dead even though for different reasons). Everything works it ties in Sinestro and the yellow latern, helps relaunch Green Lantern after the last movie. Only problem would be that they would have to intertwine "The Sinestro Corps War" and "Blackest Night" into 1 movie. Though I'm sure Hollywood would love the action pack-ness of the movie.

      Andrew In Nolan's Batman universe there good guys, bad guys, and expensive toys. I'm not saying it's real, but it's not too much of a stretch of the imagination. But you can't treat a Justice League universe the same way. You have to add superpowers and aliens, and it's impossible to make that "realistic", unless you actually believe those things are real.

    I agree with everyone saying they should just suck it up and try to continue the Nolanverse view of Batman, and to everyone saying oh superman and green lantern don't fit in his universe, we have to remember that it's a movie, and even in the comics/cartoons Batman and Supermans worlds were completely different, Gotham was dark and grim containing mostly psychologically damaged villains and Metropolis was bright and colorful much like the fantastical villains Superman faces and they still come together in Justice League. And the way they could link it is just have JGL be the protector of Gotham as Nightwing or whatever and have Bruce decide to come out of retirement and fight evil on a global scale. And have all the superhero movies like Green Lantern and Man of Steel take place after the events of TDKR and have them be inspired to be heroes because of the actions of the batman during Bane's take over of the city. It's really not that hard to come up with a story that works, they just need to get Nolan and Bale back, or at least just Bale.

    To be honest, I would not mind seeing him in the JL movie. While many people are getting wrapped up in the fact that he played "Robin" in TDKR, DC has created their universe to handle multiple Earths. JGL is a great actor, and I would love him take on maybe Hal Jordan, let's face it Ryan Reynolds is going to be known for Deadpool more than Green Latern.

    I think this movie should step outside the Nolan verse. He had a great run. Batman is bigger than Nolan and his rogues gallery is the best in comics. Nolan also took great liberties with the Batman character in the Dark Knight Rises that as a Batman fan I had alot of problems with. Jensen Ackles would make a much better Flash than Aquaman his brother Sam from Supernatural Jared Padelecki would make a good Aquaman. I liked Reynolds as Green Lantern and thought the movie would have done alot better had it not gotten all the negative press.

    It'd be a smart move for the Justice League film to incorporate J.G.L as The Bat - but I'm strongly against him being any other part of the film. Double casting actors in different movies is STUPID.

    To tell the truth I wouldn't mind if they left Bats out altogether. I've never really felt like he worked well in the league. He's really more of a handicap than a help with the kind of heavy duty menaces the league deals with.

    After seeing his performance in GI JOE: The Rise Of Cobra, I could definitely see him as The Flash.

    Am I the only one who always thought that JGL would be a perfect replacement for Heath Ledger's Joker roll if they ever recast it?

      Gridlock Joseph Gorden-Levitt as The Joker?!?
      You're insane. Someone has already decided the perfect casting of The Joker for all future movies.
      CARROT TOP (Scott Thompson, not the Kids in the Hall fellow).
      Face it, CARROT TOP, is inherently frightening on many psychological levels. Withe CARROT TOP's "youth making" plastic surgeries, he also has the face that scares young children now. The perfect casting of The Joker character is CARROT TOP.

      The man who made that insightful declaration was none other than the man accused of the Aurora Colorado Theater Shooting when he dyed his hair bright clown red.

    aquaman may be epic but in this sort of movie he would screw things up a lot i say bring in green arrow and black dove (maybe make a tie in with the arrow series), hawkman, the atom, maybe even static or even hawkgirl... i mean a lot more heroes deserve it more than aquaman

    as for robert pattinson, i say he deserves to make up for that whole twilight mess plus i've seen worse casting so i say lets give the guy a shot... i dunno why and call me crazy but i see seth green fitting the role perfectly

    as for batman, i thought things out better and i came to the conclusion that it won't work... nolan wanted to make the dark knight the most realistic batman ever... adding superman, green lantern and other dudes with super powers will only ruin that key element that made these movies so fantastic... i say make a new batman and start a new series from there

      Chris Kevin LALA. You're a liar "Justice League Of America" is the chief capital team superhero that gave birth, to Marvel's "Avengers" series and later feature film this year in 2012. To disrespect, and disregard "JLA" becoming a Worldwide Billion plus dollar feature film with sequels would be a travesty. If you're not going to support DC's desire and vision for a "Justice League Of America" film you should not be on this forum chatting sweetheart. No one should have to see and read negative remarks from people all the time. If you have a bad heart keep it to yourself don't speak negative.

    He should be Nightwing. Nightwing is waaay overdue for his own adaption.

    Anyone who reads the comics knows that Bruce Wayne is Batman. I think Nolan has an interesting interpretation of the character and I'm fine with the choices that he made to end his trilogy. However that does not necessarily reflect the Batman from the comics.

    In the comics, Bruce has tried to step down from Batman before but he always comes back. It's who he is. He can never quit because he doesn't truly feel even alive when he's just Bruce Wayne. In many ways, Batman is his true identity and Bruce is the mask. This is why Bruce Wayne has been Batman ever since his debut in 1939. It's his obsession. If Batman was meant to just be symbol passed from person to person, then why has Bruce remained Batman in the comics for the last 73 years? Yes you could argue that there are comics that jump into the future with a new Batman like in Batman Beyond. However, in that series Bruce steps down out of necessity. He becomes too old to be Batman. He would never stop unless he died or became physically incapable of doing it.

    There are a lot of Nolan fans out there that claim to be true Batman fans but they would know this if they were. Nolan's series has become so popular among audiences that they look at it like it's the characters bible. Really it is just Nolan's interpretation of the character and there have been many over the years. Nolan himself seems to indicate in interviews that he intended this movie to be it's own separate universe from the Batman of JLA or the comics. It's his Batman. His Batman's story as been told and ended. Let it go everyone.

      mike Also the relationship that Batman has with Superman in the comics is very crucial and it's a personal one between Bruce and Clark. It would not carry over to Blake at all because Blake and Bruce are different people. Choosing Blake would be incredibly disrespectful to the fans and to the comics. People have waited since the 40's to see Batman and Superman meet up on the big screen. With that kind of anticipation they better not disappoint. Blake was a character that was just made up for the 3rd Dark Knight movie. He can't carry that much history on his back.

    Utter garbage. Warner Bros won't have any established franchises for a Justice League movie except for Superman (if it's sucessful) and (barely) Batman if they so choose to link Nolan's Batman to that universe. Lame still if it's not Bruce Wayne's Batman. Therefore, I predict that Justice League will be a failure and reflect on the other franchises because Warner's is not waiting to establish the characters first. It will feel rushed and we'll have something that ended up like Green Lantern did.
