Several sites have already got in on the act, throwing up the likes of Josh Brolin (Oldboy), Ryan Gosling (Only God Forgives), Joe Manganiello (True Blood), Richard Armitage (The Hobbit), Max Martini (Pacific Rim), Matthew Goode (Watchmen), Josh Duhamel (Transformers), Jude Law (Sherlock Holmes), Gerard Butler (300), Jon Hamm (Mad Men), Brad Pitt (World War Z), Ben Affleck (Argo) and Jim Caviezel (Person of Interest) as possibilities for the role of Batman. And now we can add another name to that list, with Think McFly Think claiming that director Zack Snyder is looking at another Watchmen star in Jeffrey Dean Morgan, with the two apparently set to meet to discuss the role.
Meanwhile, the site is also reporting that Warner has been mulling over a potential Gotham City Police Department TV series taking place in the Nolanverse, set between The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, and with Jonathan Nolan attached. While the article offers nothing in the way of a source, it should be noted that WB are keen to build a DC universe on the small screen (see Arrow and the upcoming spin-off The Flash), and this isn't the first whisper of a potential Batman-less Batman TV series, with Bleeding Cool also reporting on rumours from Comic-Con last month. Still, it would be a huge surprise if Warner Bros. allowed its prized DC property to return to the small screen any time soon (even without regular appearances from Batman), but I guess time will tell...
