ETA: Colin Farrell officially joins The Batman cast as villain Penguin

ETA: Andy Serkis in Talks to Play Alfred Pennyworth in Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman’

Andy Serkis is in talks to play Alfred Pennyworth in Matt Reeves’ “The Batman,” an individual with knowledge of the project exclusively told TheWrap.
'The Batman' Casts Paul Dano as The Riddler
quote:

Dano's version of the character will be named Edward Nashton, the man who in the comics later goes by the name Edward Nygma.
quote:

Robert Pattinson is starring in The Batman, with Zoe Kravitz set to play Catwoman and Jeffrey Wright on board as Batman ally Commissioner Gordon. Jonah Hill was at one point eyeing a role in the film as either Riddler or The Penguin, but the deal did not come to fruition. Reeves has said he plans to include a rogues gallery of Batman villains in the film.

Just turn this into a batman casting thread. Harvey Dent and Penguin should be announced shortly.

Dano as Riddler is awesome.

I went to look up who Paul Dano is... the 4th hit on YouTube is a compilation of his characters getting the absolute shite kicked out of them.



...

Was kind of hoping for Tennant.

I was too, but that rumor goes back damn near 10 years when there was talk the Riddler would be the bad guy in the third Nolan/Bale Batman movie and it would either be Johnny Depp or Tennant.

You've never seen movies like There Will Be Blood, The Girl Next Door, or 12 Years A Slave?

Jonah Hill seems too proud/self conscious to play a character like the penguin

Rumors are he wanted $10 million for the role. Meanwhile Robert Pattinson is getting $5 million to be Batman. I can see why WB would look elsewhere considering how much they are going to have to spend on all the other villains.

Eh.

It seems like Reeves is trying to create an entire Batman universe with the entire Rogue's gallery in place, so the role might have been as much as a cameo.

They won’t get all the names on that list but if they can get Fiennes and two other names like Hoult and Driver or Driver and Harris that would be one hell of a cast already even without The Penguin being cast.


Just based off the cast alone, this looks like it could be incredible
