Kevin Smith Briefly Discusses Justin Bieber as Robin in BATMAN/SUPERMAN

If Justin Bieber is Robin, I'm done with all comic book movies forever.

[frick] this shit.

If he's Jason, I call play Joker. Get me a picture with us and the crowbar.

@LEVI agreed. And you all thought what they did to the Mandarin was bad. Even I'd make a better Robin.

Justin Beiber could play Jason Todd and get beaten to death, I'd be cool with that

So Bieber, you wanna play Robin?

That panic button app on his iPhone is gonna do no good if even this is remotely true.

I said they whine too much not that you should stop or never whine.

Also what does source material have to do with this?

i hope this is a joke

you guys realise this is a joke right

Bieber is trolling us HARD

It has to be for Funny or Die.

man ... you don't do prank like that ... you JUST DON'T

@BlackJack10 I hope sure hope you are right and I agree that placing a logo on the cover page of a script is a bit unusual, but the film is blending two of the most iconic symbols in the history of pop culture, so maybe WB is plastering it all over everything. Also, the logo reveal at Comic-Con may not have necessarily been the final product. We could be looking at the final product here.

And if this script was produced for a Funny or Die video, why all the detail? Why include the WB contact information and legal copyright jargon? Why include the "based on the Dark Knight Falls" line? If it was a prank Beiber made himself, how would he know to reference that title?

Beiber is not an actor, but WB clearly thinks it needs more star power to drive this film, as evidenced by selecting Ben Affleck for Batman. Perhaps some unimaginative executive is thinking "My daughter loves the Beibs, so putting him in this movie would ensure that teens would see it. Yeah, that's the ticket!"

It's also a lot more feasable to adapt just the last book and still have all the elements necessary to re-introduce Batman and have all the sequel elements of Superman. This one book doesn't take as much setting up as all four or just the second half. Not nearly as much setting up.
Although, I would've preferred it if they did go for the second half (HUNT THE DARK KNIGHT and THE DARK KNIGHT FALLS), because that way we could've had the Joker and even HarleyQuinn thrown in for good measure. And since we are probably going to see Lex Luthor (and maybe Mercy Graves, for good measure) that would have made the film a little bit more like the World's Finest animated movie.
Also, Goyer already gave us a vague adaptation of THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS and THE DARK KNIGHT TRIUMPHANT with The Dark Knight Rises. It wasn't that faithful an adaptation, but was a version of those two books. So it would make sense, artistically, for him to do the second half, even though it's technically a different franchise. It just kinda makes sense. And since this is Snyder, it will undoubtedly be a lot more faithful to the source material and, as such, we might get to see Mutants and shit, this time.

@LEVITIKUZ I want to shut your face with my hands.
