Tyler Hoechlin 'In Casting Call For Batman Role'

A little-known US television star could be the next Batman, it has been reported.

Tyler Hoechlin, the 25-year-old star of the Teen Wolf TV series, is reported by Cosmic Book News to be screentesting for the role of the caped crusader alongside Man Of Steel star Henry Cavill.

It was announced this week that the sequel to the Superman reboot will be a double header, called either Batman Vs. Superman or Superman Vs. Batman.

The film is set for release in 2015, so bosses at Warner Brothers will not want to wait too long to make casting decisions.

Hoechlin has also appeared in family drama 7th Heaven.
