Looks like Harvey Dent to me

He could be trolling, but Stan seems to confirm he is playing Dent. The article is in French and if the translation below is incorrect, blame ChatGPT.

What about Avengers: Doomsday, directed by brothers Anthony and Joe Russo, which comes out next December 16? S. S.: Honestly, I have absolutely no idea. Because we didn’t have a script. We were just filming scattered scenes. It’s a different way of working—continuously, constantly evolving. The producers didn’t want us to read the entire script, to prevent journalists from asking us questions about it. (Laughs.) I’ve been following this rule for fifteen years, so I’m used to it.

I can’t say anything either about The Batman: Part II, by Matt Reeves, in which I play Harvey Dent [in theaters February 16, 2028, Editor’s Note]. Part of the beauty of this profession is also being involved in projects of this scale, which I love as a spectator. Right now, I’m really looking forward to seeing The Odyssey, by Christopher Nolan—it looks insane.

One of the best Batmobile's ever. That thing was badass.

It just sounds like he's trolling when I read this

That reporter is still adamant he said it

In verifiable news, the Batmobile sounds badass.

After seeing this I looked to see if there was an updated release date and ran into an article from yesterday about someone getting run over on set by the batmobile. That article mentioned that Steven Soderberg was directing the final third of the film. Somehow I missed that announcement.

It was recently confirmed that, due to undisclosed personal issues, Steven Soderbergh is stepping in to film the remaining third or so of The Batman sequel.

Reeves intends to be involved with the post-production process, though it's unclear what all this means for the movie and how different it could feel with two filmmakers having helmed scenes.

However, Reeves has made it clear that he is not leaving The Batman Part II.

"I am so happy he's come on to help Matt," Robert Pattinson recently said of Soderbergh's contributions. "It's incredibly generous of him – and he's doing it in the loveliest way. It's completely selfless."

"I think Matt had put so much work into the script, and we're almost done," he continued.

"So for someone to come in and say, 'I just want to help Matt do it; I want to do it in conjunction with him and just get it to the edit.' And to have someone who's as talented as Steven doing it is great."

Interesting. He directed one of the most underrated TV dramas out there. The Knick. Criminally cancelled after two seasons.
