The Dark Knight Movie Casts Armie Hammer as a Vigilante — But It’s Not Batman
ComicBook.comStory by Cameron Bonomolo
scrn logline
Embattled actor Armie Hammer lands leading role in director Uwe Boll's upcoming Dark Knight-inspired vigilante film, a far cry from his failed Justice League casting a decade earlier.
beat sheet
- In 2008, Hammer was set to play Batman in the never-realized Justice League Mortal movie, but he never donned the cape and cowl.
- Boll's Dark Knight film, which begins production in Croatia in January 2025, is described as very different from Nolan's The Dark Knight, despite the similar title and premise.
