Justin Bieber had fans all aflutter on Friday after he posted an Instagram photo of a “Bieber” watermarked Man of Steel sequel script along with the caption, “#robin ??”

The screenplay appears authentic, as it bears the title “Batman vs. Superman” and the description, “Based on Batman: The Dark Knight Falls by Frank Miller & Klaus Janson.”

But don’t start the casting petition quite yet.

Earlier in the day, Bieber hinted that he was doing a spoof for Funny or Die, tweeting, “Off to do something funny or…die :)”

Ben Affleck’s casting in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel set the rumor mill into overdrive this week.

Who else will star star?

Which villain will come face to face with Batman and Superman?

Well, contrary to internet speculation, Bryan Cranston says he’s NOT signed to play Superman nemesis Lex Luthor.

Asked about his supposed participation in the highly-anticipated flick, the actor tells the Boston Globe, “This is all news to me.”

“I think that maybe my name is bandied about because I’m known to be bald. ‘What bald guy can we get?’” jokes Cranston, pointing out, ”The reality is they can take any actor and shave his head or put a bald cap on him.”

Cranston, whose hit series “Breaking Bad” is in its final run of episodes, will next star in the American Repertory Theater’s production of “All the Way,” and is slated to direct an episode of “Modern Family.”

And after that?

“I think I’ll relax the rest of the year,” Cranston tells the paper. ”There’s some irons in the fire, things that people are talking about, but nothing is set.”

Would you want to see Cranston play Lex Luthor?

Ben Affleck is the new Batman.

The actor has been cast as the Caped Crusader in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel, Warner Bros. announced on Thursday night.

Affleck will star opposite Henry Cavill, who is reprising his role as Superman.

In a statement, director Zack Snyder says, “Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry’s Superman. He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne. I can’t wait to work with him.”

It will be the first time Batman and Superman have teamed up on the big screen.

The movie, which is still untitled, is slated to open in theaters on July 17, 2015.

Coincidentally, Affleck played one of Superman’s most famous portrayers, George Reeves, in the 2006 movie Hollywoodland.

And Affleck also portrayed the superhero Daredevil in the 2003 movie with wife future wife Jennifer Garner.

What do you think of Affleck suiting up as Batman?
