Last month, it was reported that Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale were possibly returning for Warner Bros.' Justice League movie. However, it now sounds like they may not be back after all.

Scoop masters Latino Review were on the Schmoes Know Movies podcast to discuss the matter. They say the studio was revved up to welcome back its Dark Knight duo for their upcoming JLA pic, with Nolan producing and Bale potentially reprising his role as Batman. However, Warners is now reportedly having trouble getting Nolan onboard, as the director doesn't want JLA messing with the continuity of his Batman films. There was even some hesitancy surrounding Man of Steel's Superman appearing in the film (Nolan is a producer on that picture).For now, it sounds like a Man of Steel sequel would be a more likely follow-up. Of course, none of this has been confirmed, so as always, take this news with a grain of salt. That said, if these reports are true, the outlook is not looking good for the planned Justice League of America movie.
