A new report suggests that the upcoming The Batman Part II could include a new male villain that’s iconic to the world of DC Comics.
Who is the potential male villain in The Batman 2?
A new report from Jeff Sneider of The InSneider mentions the possibility of a new male villain appearing in the movie. In a report about Scarlett Johansson’s involvement in the movie and what it could mean, Sneider notes that “another male villain” could be appearing in the movie. That villain? Possibly Doctor Arkham, according to Sneider.
This report also coincides with recent casting information that began circulating in October. According to a report from PopFilm (who also broke news like Joel Kinnaman and Kumail Nanjiani joining Peacemaker Season 2), The Crown actor Tobias Menzies is being eyed to play the role of Amadeus Arkham in The Batman Part II.
The name Arkham was briefly teased in 2022’s The Batman, with The Riddler being placed in Arkham State Hospital after being caught by Batman. As of now, it’s unknown what type of story The Batman Part II will follow, and who or how many villains will appear in the movie to go up against Robert Pattinson’s Batman.
Co-written by Reeves and Mattson Tomlin, The Batman 2 is expected to see Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell reprise their respective roles as Jim Gordon, Alfred Pennyworth, and the Penguin. Zoe Kravitz, meanwhile, is not expected to return as Catwoman/Selina Kyle. Production on the film begins this coming spring.
The Batman 2 will be released in United States on October 1, 2027.
