London - Brad Pitt has been approached to take
over from George Clooney as Batman in the fifth episode of the movie series, Britain's Sun newspaper said on Thursday.
The tabloid gave no details about whether Pitt, 36, was considering donning the black cowl of the Caped Crusader but said the Fight Club and Seven star had held "talks with Hollywood chiefs about the role."
The Sun said Pitt, whose most recent film is the British production Snatch, refused to comment.
But it quoted an unnamed "insider" as saying: "With Brad in the lead role, Batman 5 would be a box office smash."
