10 Dumbest Fan Theories About Upcoming Movies

3. Batman V Superman Will Feature Christian Bale As The Real Batman

This theory €“ while totally bonkers €“ at least gets points for being really inventive. There€™s a fan out there who wrote an essay about his belief that Batman V Superman is a sequel to the Christopher Nolan trilogy, which will feature Christian Bale returning as Batman. It would take all day to go through it point by the point, but the key part is that Ben Affleck won€™t be playing Bruce Wayne after all; he€™ll playing Slade Wilson (aka Deathstroke), who has taken over the Batman title. This will leave Bale free to return and take back his crown, after it€™s revealed that Jared Leto€™s Joker is really John Blake from The Dark Knight Rises. The first two letters and last two letters of Blake€™s full name spells out €œJoke€, which is more €œevidence.€ Finally the film is intended to unite The Dark Knight Trilogy and Man Of Steel series, with the €œV€ in the title secretly referring to the film being the fifth instalment in that universe. Could any of this be true? Nope. Christian Bale is 100% percent finished with the character, and even if he was tempted back it would only be for Christopher Nolan. Nolan isn€™t involved with Batman V Superman at all, and it€™s doubtful he€™d approve of efforts to link those films to his.
