THE BATMAN Will Reportedly Feature At Least Four Of The Dark Knight's Villains
Ben Affleck may not be our Caped Crusader anymore but The Batman is still happening, and a couple of new reports claim to shed some light on how many villains we'll end up seeing in the DC Comics movie!
Despite the fact that Ben Affleck has stepped down as the DCEU's Dark Knight, Matt Reeves remains hard at work on his movie and is currently attempting to find a brand new lead for The Batman.
Recently, we've been hearing a lot about the film featuring multiple villains, and Forbes' Mark Hughes has now doubled down on that by Tweeting, "The Batman is peppered w/multiple villains, not just 1 or 2...I know a/b 3 of them for sure + there are others filling in Gotham's population in cameos/supporting roles."
It's been widely reported that The Penguin will be making an appearance, and Batman On Film lends some weight to this by claiming that "There are at least 4" bad guys in the movie.
A lot of superhero movies have struggled with more than one villain, so it will be interesting to see how Reeves handles four. Some will more than likely have only very minor roles, but then that runs the risk of fans getting upset about their lack of screentime or the way they're used in the larger story.
Regardless, with casting expected to begin soon, we may find out which villains we're getting this year.
