Jake Gyllenhaal is rumored to be next in line for the cowl should Justice League star Ben Affleck step down as Batman, according to a report that surfaced Thursday. As Affleck's future as the Dark Knight continues to be in doubt, Gyllenhaal actually auditioned for the previous cinematic iteration of the caped crusader launched with 2005's Batman Begins. Gyllenhaal was screenwriter David S. Goyer's first choice for the role that would eventually be won by Christian Bale, who donned the batsuit for director Christopher Nolan's acclaimed Dark Knighttrilogy.
