UPDATE: It’s been confirmed by THR.  We discuss on the latest BOF SOCIAL HOUR podcast.  Original story follows the jump.

And so it begins…

Today, a report emerged from GIANT FREAKING ROBOT that Scarlett Johansson was being eyed for a role in THE BATMAN PART II.

Cool.

Instead of running with a story on BOF about it based on that one report, I do what I do and asked around.

As a result, I can confirm that this is legitimate, and it appears that Miss Scarlett is indeed in the running for a role in TB2.

Yea!

So, what role?  Well, I don’t want to speculate, unless I do, but perhaps she’ll be a Bruce Wayne love interest, like…Vicki Vale?  Or Julie Madison, perhaps?  Matt Reeves does love him some Batman history, so why not use Bruce Wayne’s very first love in the comic books?

I may end up being wrong, but I don’t see her as a villain (what’s with the Poison Ivey bullshit?!). We shall see!

Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
