Horror!
Outrage!
Confusion!
Chances are that Justin Bieber will not be cast as the next ROBIN in the a BATMAN vs SUPERMAN adventure, but as we saw with the Ben Affleck choice, anything as possible.
Calling Joel Schmuacher. Bring the nipples for the bat suit.
Nikki Finke sparked some news when she took notice that Justin Bieber instagrammed (is that a new modern verb?) a photograph of a script of BATMAN VS SUPERMAN.. his caption reads ‘#robin?’
The practical joke could be on us.. Bieber may be auditioning for the role of a villain–perhaps the one which would suit him best would be the Riddler, since we don’t know his true gender, or Harley Quinn, the Joker’s girlfriend ..
I would highly doubt anyone in a right mind would cast Beebs in a Frank Miller and Klaus Janson story..
Then again. Affleck.
But Nikki Finke correctly points out in her article
The accompanying comments are all over the map, of course, ranging from “Yusssss!” and “OMFG JUSTIN DREW BIEBER BRB DYING” to “Stick with music & little kids stuff” and some entirely unprintable things. But look closely at that picture — doesn’t it look a wee bit, shall we say, enhanced? Like maybe something out of a comic book? Decide for yourself if this is real or not. Then, please, move on with your lives.
I think if Bieber is chosen, it’s a White House petition that Obama may just allow to go forward…
