Just To Clarify: Justin Bieber OFFICIALLY Not Playing Robin In BATMAN/SUPERMAN

I think (or at least I hope!) most of you figured that the pic posted by the young popstrel on his Instagram account was a fake, but just in case anyone was taken in, we now have official confirmation of that for you. Click on for more.

The internet is a weird and wonderful place, as full of lies and deceit as it is awesome stuff like porn and pictures of cats. Because of this some people will always be taken in by all manner of things that find their way online, so when Justin Bieber posted a pic of himself holding what appeared to be the script for Zack Snyder's Man Of Steel sequel along with the suggestion that he'd be playing Robin in the movie, the web predictably exploded. Now obviously anyone who took the time to think about this would probably come to the conclusion that it was a hoax (a script most likely doesn't even exist yet for one) but, well..some don't take that time! So just to clarify for those still worried: According to The Wrap a person with knowledge of the real script assured them that the photo is not authentic — and is most likely part of an upcoming Funny or Die sketch. There you go, rest easy. Ben Affleck IS still playing Batman though.

Apparently so. I spoke to a lot of people last night (in person and on Twitter) that believed it was legit.

Yeah but Ror, you live in Ireland, like myself.

And all the GAA heads probably thought it was legit.

ZanPhilom haha, indeed they did! But even a few well versed fanboys were taken in too. If something is online it'll always be beliebed (sorry:) by some folks, simple as that.

Lol, Ror. I wonder what all our yank buddies here are thinking with me using the term GAA head?

And yes, my friends got worried too. Despite me showing them that the logo on the "script" was the fanmade one.

Yeah I guess a few Beliebers beliebed in this rumor. I'm just glad this didn't happen for real. But who says it won't happen eventually? Now I'm scared...

Good! He just stick to being a worthless egomaniac pop singer. What makes people think could be a superhero? Let alone an "actual" actor?

No one with a bit of common sense believed this rubbish, it was blantantly obvious. It was for a funny or die skit ffs. He even said it when he posted the pic, but of course people on the internet just dont know how to read anymore.

i guess since Ben Affleck became Batman anything is possible. You can't rule out Bieber as Robin ;)
