Is Russell Crowe REALLY going to be in Dark Knight?

Christian Bale once again claims that Russell Crowe is going to be in The Dark Knight. Is it true, or is he just playing with us?

Christian Bale and Russell Crowe have been doing the rounds for 3:10 to Yuma for quite a number of weeks now and one recurring theme is Bale claiming that Russell Crowe is going to be in The Dark Knight. Now, personally I think it's bullshit and it's just these two guys messing around with the web (I recall Bale doing it with Star Trek the other day) but every single interview I read now for Yuma brings up this type of quote. This one is from Coming Soon... CS: Can you talk about working on Batman right now?Bale: Russell's going to be actually in the new Batman movie, which is a big surprise and I want to reveal it to everybody right now!CS: Are you going to do "Justice League" after?Bale: No.Crowe: What about the Green Lantern?Bale: No! Could a cameo be in the offing for Crowe? Nah not for my money. It's obvious these guys are just messing around, I mean just look at the next question Crowe pulls out of his bag, asking Bale whether he's going to be in The Green Lantern. Hilarious! And yes it's a U.S. holiday, so news is very slow.
