Batman V Superman: 10 Rumours That Are Definitely Bullsh*t

2. Christian Bale Is Coming Back

If you buy into the rumour that Ben Affleck is actually playing Slade Wilson/Deathstroke, the logical next question would be, Who's playing Batman then? And the answer is Christian Bale. Except of course for the fact that he's definitely, definitely not. Christopher Nolan's trilogy was near enough perfect, and his decreased involvement in the DC Extended Universe is a sure sign Bale is not coming back as the Dark Knight. Nolan was a producer on ManOf Steel and he's an executive producer on Dawn of Justice, and you can't see him taking a step back if he was going to help Zack Snyder and Warner Bros connect their movies back to his. Some people are citing the 'v' in the Batman v Superman title as evidence for this outlandish theory. They see it instead as a Roman numeral, i.e. the number 5, making it the fifth film in this connected universe after Nolan's trilogy and Man Of Steel. But that's really just clutching at straws. Christian Bale is not coming back. Ben Affleck is Batman, and he's going to be great.
