From Driver himself:

"No. Not that I know of, no. If you find out, let me know, then I'll know."
Though he did have many nice things to say about just being rumored for the part.

"That's like intensely flattering as you can imagine. I mean, it's Batman and Superman, who doesn't want to be involved in something not only of that scale but of who those characters are. That's an incredible world to be able to be in for a bit. Like who wouldn't want to do that?"

Producer reveals surprising news for 'Batman Vs Superman' film

Producer of the upcoming Batman vs  Superman film has tweeted something interesting and somewhat perhaps, maybe...revealing
He went on to tweet

Daniel Alter @DAlter007       

Can't wait for #BatmanvsSuperman.. #batfleck semi-retired/not speaking to Robin anymore.. Controlling drones from the batcave.

 

Does this sound as if Robin will take part in the upcoming film...as well as drones?

If so this is a storyline that was previously seen in the comics under the title Kingdom Come.

 

From Screenrants description :

"In that iconic miniseries, we’re given a vision of an alternate future where the original Justice League has (for the most part) retired, due to the rise of a whole new generation of superhumans. Getting to the point: in the story, an elderly Bruce Wayne maintains control of Gotham City using an army of robotic Bat-sentries that he controls from the reclusive confines of his cave (a similar idea was more recently explored in the Batman Incorporated comic book). When superhuman battles begin to cause mass destruction across the globe, Wayne partners with Lex Luthor to form a coalition of non-powered humans to keep “Superman and his ilk” in check"
