(1 day later)
It seems that Justin Bieber won't be joining Ben Affleck in the Batmobile. The 19-year-old singer had caused a flurry of excitement after posting an Instagrammed photo of what looked like an official Batman v Superman script, "written by David S Goyer and Zack Snyder", with Bieber's watermarked surname across the cover. "#robin?" wrote Bieber, alluding to Batman's masked sidekick.It seems that Justin Bieber won't be joining Ben Affleck in the Batmobile.

According to reports, however, the Batman v Superman script was not real and most likely part of a forthcoming sketch for the Funny Or Die website. Bieber himself seemed to confirm this, tweeting that he was "off to do something funny or … die".According to reports, however, the Batman v Superman script was not real and most likely part of a forthcoming sketch for the Funny Or Die website.

This will be a relief to Batman fans, who are already concerned about the casting of Affleck in the Man of Steel sequel, especially as the rumours seemed plausible. There's no question that Bieber's a Batman fan. When he procured a Cadillac CTS-V in 2011, he paid for the car to be painted matte black with suicide doors. "I feel like I'm in the Batmobile," he bragged. "This is the coolest car." Bieber's father and friends this year commissioned the singer a custom birthday "bat-bike", silkscreened with his number of Twitter followers.This will be a relief to Batman fans, who are already concerned about the casting of Affleck in the Man of Steel sequel, especially as the rumours seemed plausible.
