Man of Steel 2 Casting Rumors: Watchmen, Supernatural Star Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Batman in 'Batman vs. Superman' Movie?

Several names have been floated around as candidates for the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman in the 2015 Man of Steel sequel, commonly known as Batman vs. Superman.

The site Think McFly Think now reports that another name has entered the mix: Jeffrey Dean Morgan, known for his work on the "Supernatural" and "Grey's Anatomy" television shows and in the superhero film Watchmen.

The site reports that Morgan has taken a meeting with director Zack Snyder for the role of Batman. The two men worked together in the past on Watchmen, in which Morgan played The Comedian.

As Mstars previously reported, the site Batman-on-Film.com posted a report that cites multiple sources (more than one, less than 10, according to the site) that the new Batman would be in his mid-40s.

This seems to indicate that Bruce Wayne/Batman will be a veteran, possibly one who has been the Caped Crusader for several years, in the Man of Steel sequel, as opposed to the Christian Bale portrayal in Batman Begins.

The Hollywood Reporter may also have shed some light on the part, as the site reports that 46-year-old Josh Brolin and 32-year-old Ryan Gosling are the lead candidates to play Batman.

Other names mentioned on the list include Joe Manganiello (Alcide from "True Blood"), Richard Armitage (Thorin from The Hobbit), Max Martini (Pacific Rim) and Matthew Goode (Ozymandias from Watchmen).
