Justin Bieber freaked out already unhappy Batman fans this weekend after he posted an Instagram photo of himself holding a “Batman vs. Superman” script with “Bieber” written across the front.
Bieber’s not-so-funny joke was posted Friday along with the caption, “#robin?” Ben Affleck’s casting was already received with lackluster responses from fans, so to have Bieber allegedly take the part of Robin, caused fans quickly to reply with dismay on social media. According Entertainment Weekly, many claimed if Bieber was cast that “Batman would be ruined forever.”
EW also notes that fans can relax, as Bieber hinted that the post is a joke anyhow after tweeting, “Off to do something funny or...die :)” just hours before posting the photo on Instagram.
Thus far Warner Bros. have not announced any new additional castmembers to join the already star studded cast of Batman vs. Superman.
Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane are set to return.
