Might be an odd casting choice considering the last onscreen Penguin was played by Danny Devito (who incidentally was in 2019’s Dumbo with Farrell), but hey! We’ll take it. Hill was in the talks to appear in The Batman, reportedly as either the Penguin or Riddler, but that didn’t pan out. Six! The next addition to the rogue’s gallery is Paul Dano, who is reportedly playing the Riddler. The Batman is rumored to have six villains. Incidentally, Kravitz also voiced Catwoman in The Lego Batman Movie.

She played Leta Lestrange in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, but was killed off at the end of the movie so she doesn’t have any outstanding Wizarding World commitments. Kravitz follows a long line of totally awesome Catwoman actresses, including Eartha Kitt, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Anne Hathaway.

Wright will play the steadfast Gotham police commissioner, a role Gary Oldman and J.K. Most recently, he starred in indie horror flick The Lighthouse. In addition to playing Edward Cullen in the Twilight saga, Pattinson also has a robust filmography of independent movies. The English actor was Reeves’ first choice for the role. X-Men: Dark Phoenix ‘s Nicholas Hoult was reportedly up for the role, but Pattinson beat him out. We learned that RPattz would take up the cowl last May. It won’t be an origin story, either, said Reeves and instead will be a “noir-driven” original story So who’s cast in the movie? FADEL SENNA/AFP/Getty Images Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the ever-changing DC Extended Universe, The Batman is expected to be part of the DCEU, though only through small connections. Unlike this October’s Joker, which set itself separate from Aquaman, Batman v. Originally, Ben Affleck was set to direct and star in the film, but thanks to scheduling and development hell, the Bat-fleck take of the movie was shelved. And with a release date set for 2021, the reboot is slowly but surely amassing a cast. The Batman comes from Cloverfield and War for the Planet of the Apes director Matt Reeves. The Riddler longs to kill Bruce Wayne.As DC Entertainment’s Snyderverse dissipates, the latest take on the caped crusader is on the horizon. The Riddler is obsessed above all with what he says is the most grotesquely crooked thing about Gotham City: the plutocrat Wayne family and Bruce’s late father who made fraud and crime the city’s foundation stone. So our antihero effectively joins forces with commissioner Gordon (Wright, lending his innate dignity and integrity to the role) to take down the Riddler, incidentally putting himself up against mob boss Carmine Falcone (Turturro) and his bloated sidekick Oswald “The Penguin” Cobblepot ( Colin Farrell) who don’t like questions being asked about who is doing the corrupting.īut wait. He sets out to whack the corrupt Gotham establishment one by one, including Mayor Don Mitchell (Rupert Penry-Jones) and district attorney Gil Colson ( Peter Sarsgaard), leaving quibbling questions for the Batman on Hallmark-type cards at the scene of each gruesome crime. Most exercised about this is the Riddler (Paul Dano), sporting a rubber gimp mask for his many social media appearances. But the city is still drenched in crime and addiction to a new narcotic called “drops”, to which law enforcement is clearly turning a blind eye. Gotham City’s political classes are complacently congratulating themselves on rooting out a major drug dealer, Sal Maroni. Joining forces … Robert Pattinson and Jeffrey Wright in The Batman.
And this of course is happening in the sepulchral vastness of Gotham City, the brutal and murky world which Christopher Nolan thrillingly pioneered with his Dark Knight trilogy and made indispensable for imagining Batman on screen.
You can imagine some growly voice saying “the Batman” – but not Tom Holland putting on a deep baritone to say he’s “the Spider-Man”, or Henry Cavill booming he’s “the Superman” (although maybe you could have Billy Joel stride into a dark Gotham City bar to raspingly confront “the Piano Man”).ĭirector and co-writer Matt Reeves has created a new Batman iteration in which Robert Pattinson reinvents billionaire Bruce Wayne as an elegantly wasted rock star recluse, willowy and dandyish in his black suit with tendrils of dark hair falling over his face but Wayne magically trebles in bulk when he reappears in costume and mask as the Dark Knight, his whole being weaponised into a slab-like impassivity. Adding “the” to Batman’s name has become a huge part of the brand identity, a sign of how elemental and atavistic this shadowy figure is supposed to be. T hat definite article means it’s the genuine article.
