DC Film News has obtained images showing a makeup team hard at work on Heidi Klume's costume. However, what's on the shelves behind them working are far more interesting. Turn back now if you don't want to be spoiled.
On the shelves are various face casts for the characters. Sebastian Stan playing Victor Zsasz is pretty much confirmed now. Also, it looks like the Court of Owls will definitely come into play as well since there is a cast showing "Owl 3" but, unfortunately the actual cast isn't shown, just the container.
Here's the big reveal. We'll start with the face mold of Charles Dance. Presumably that is yellow colored cast. The belief was that he'd play Christopher Dent. Well, we may have to guess again because, and possibly MAJOR SPOILERS...
There is a face cast which is obviously Brian Tyree Henry with half a destroyed face. It looks like the rumors were true and he is playing Harvy Dent/Two Face. Which leads to speculation about Dance's character. Obviously Tyree Henry is black and Dance is white so the odds of them being father and son may be slim. Unless they go the route of Harvy Dent being adopted by the senior Dent.
This is far from confirmation but these images make it difficult for the team behind The Batman Part 2 to deny. All in all, it's a pretty wild way for the characters in The Batman Part 2 to be spoiled. I guess we can be thankful for eager makeup artists showing off their hard work on a pretty creepy Halloween outfit.
How do you feel about a race swapped Harvey Dent? Is it that big of a deal? We obviously had a black Harvey Dent in Tim Burton's Batman 89 so a precedent has already been set. Honestly, it's more upsetting about the missed opportunity here. They could have brought in Billy Dee Williams as Christopher Dent and that would have been some great fan service that wouldn't come off goofy or cringe.
There's additional masks on the shelves that haven't been identified. One is next to Dance's and there is one below the Owl 3. Is it possible there's additional characters that haven't been rumored or identified? Are they for The Batman or another project, possible a DC one?
Let me know in the comments who you think they could be as well as your thoughts on the Harvey Dent reveal.
Thanks for reading!
