Despite conflicting reports on Monday that Armie Hammer was in final talks to take over the role of Batman, it was debunked on Tuesday that no such talks have yet to take place. The rumors were debunked by both Borys Kit from The Hollywood Reporter and Justin Kroll from Variety.
I’m not in the business of debunking bunk but considering everyone got in a tizzy over this…there is no truth to the below. Being told there haven’t even been any actor meetings for THE BATMAN. (But that doesn’t mean Reeves and WB don’t have ideas of who they would like) https://t.co/8CB8aHARID

Yeah, that BATMAN rumor is false. That said, potential for this week to be very interesting on a number fronts. Sleep tight. pic.twitter.com/HCHTIkLISK

Armie Hammer himself told Yahoo! UK no one’s even contacted him about the role:
“No one who can actually give me the job has asked me if I’m interested. I don’t even know if they’re done – I think they’re still working on a script. I don’t think that they’re close to production but I can conclusively tell you that no one has checked my availability, which is a bummer.”
