NEWARK — Holy Brick City, Batman!

Newark Mayor Cory Booker says movie executives are scouting New Jersey's largest city to possibly film some scenes there for a new Batman movie.

On his Twitter account, Booker says he met with a producer and "studio team" for the movie. Booker also says he suggested that he star as Nightwing, the DC Comics character that Dick Grayson became as an adult after giving up his role as Robin.

The acting role doesn't seem promising, though. Booker says the executives smiled politely and looked at their watches.

A publicist for the movie says it's too early to talk about locations being considered.

Booker is currently starring in "Brick City," an award-winning documentary series by The Sundance Channel that captures the daily drama of the city.
