A New batman is heading to town!- Hopefully?
According to reports by Revenge of the Fans, Armie Hammer is in “final talks” to star in the upcoming Matt Reeves-directed Batman film. But hold on to your horses Batman fans! Apparently the talks is said to be untrue, as per Tweeted by Wrap reporter Umberto Gonzalez.
Armie Hammer. Batman. Not true.

Also, Armie Hammer is 32 and I'm also told the role of Bruce is going to be younger. There are no targeted names YET.

Yikes!
It also didn’t take long for Hollywood Reporter Borys Kit to respond to the reports;
I’m not in the business of debunking bunk but considering everyone got in a tizzy over this…there is no truth to the below. Being told there haven’t even been any actor meetings for THE BATMAN. (But that doesn’t mean Reeves and WB don’t have ideas of who they would like) https://t.co/8CB8aHARID

Variety Journalist, Justin Kroll also Tweeted;
Yeah, that BATMAN rumor is false. That said, potential for this week to be very interesting on a number fronts. Sleep tight. pic.twitter.com/HCHTIkLISK

As of now, Hammer is “widely expected” to take the role.
Ben Affleck said goodbye to his Batman role last month after starring as the Caped Crusader in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League. Affleck stepped away from the project after admitting that while he was at one point tapped to write, direct and star in the so-called DC Extended Universe’s first solo Batman movie, he struggled get it the way he wanted to.
We’re keeping our fingers crossed Hammer gets considered, but for now we’ll just have to wait- again.
