After the success of The Batman, which hit theaters on March 4, 2022, and pulled in more than $770 million worldwide, Warner Bros. quickly began planning a sequel. Right now, The Batman Part II is still in pre-production, and director Matt Reeves is moving towards casting new characters.<\/p>\n

GIANT<\/strong> FREAKIN ROBOT<\/strong> has exclusively learned that Daniel Craig has been offered the role of Christopher Dent in The Batman Part II. Daniel Craig has the offer now, but if he refuses it, then Liam Neeson is next in line for the part.<\/p>\n

In context of The Batman Part II<\/a>, Christopher Dent will be one of the movie\u2019s three main villains.<\/p>\n

In Batman<\/a> lore, Christopher Dent is the abusive, alcoholic father of Harvey Dent, the man who eventually becomes the villain Two-Face. In several modern comic interpretations, Christopher is depicted as a violent household tyrant who regularly beats Harvey\u2019s mother and psychologically torments his son by forcing young Harvey to flip a coin to determine whether he\u2019ll be punished.<\/p>\n

Our source for this information is verified and proven. It\u2019s the same source that first broke the news, now confirmed, that Scarlett Johansson would be in<\/a> The Batman Part II. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Henry Hards | Updated 1 hour ago After the success of The Batman, which hit theaters on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":368500,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[263],"tags":[11748,29203,18,117,4500,19,17,22174,327,15873,11752],"class_list":["post-368499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-batman","tag-daniel-craig","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-exclusive","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-liam-neeson","tag-movies","tag-the-batman","tag-the-batman-part-ii"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116174503504938427","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368499","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=368499"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368499\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/368500"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=368499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=368499"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=368499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
