Little is known about DC\u2019s upcoming The Batman Part II<\/strong><\/a>, but a new casting report suggests we might know something about what\u2019s set to happen in the movie.<\/p>\n

Who has been added to The Batman Part II\u2019s cast?<\/p>\n

According to a new report from PopFilm (who also broke news like Joel Kinnaman and Kumail Nanjiani joining Peacemaker Season 2<\/a>), The Crown actor Tobias Menzies is being eyed to play a big role in The Batman Part II.<\/p>\n

The role, according to the report, is none other than Amadeus Arkham, the founder of the iconic Arkham Asylum, an institution for the criminally insane that becomes home to many of Batman\u2019s foes after they\u2019ve been captured or apprehended. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear exactly what this report means for the overall story of the film. However, with Arkham Asylum potentially being introduced, it could mean we will see even more of Batman\u2019s villains appear. The name Arkham was briefly teased in 2022\u2019s The Batman, with The Riddler being placed in Arkham State Hospital after being caught by Batman. <\/p>\n

The development of The Batman Part II has been a long one. The original film was released three years ago in 2022 and was a massive hit. Starring Pattinson as the titular hero, the film made over $770 million at the box office.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0a\u00a0recent report<\/a>, The Batman 2 \u2014 also known as\u00a0The Batman Part II<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0The Batman Part 2<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 will begin production at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in London, United Kingdom, on January 1, 2026.<\/p>\n

Pattinson will reprise his role as Batman in the movie, while the website lists the returning cast as Farrell,\u00a0Andy Serkis<\/a>\u00a0as Alfred, and\u00a0Jeffrey Wright<\/a>\u00a0as Commissioner Gordon. It also says\u00a0Barry Keoghan<\/a>\u00a0is \u201cexpected\u201d to return as the Joker, though this has not been confirmed by\u00a0Warner Bros. Pictures<\/a>\u00a0as of yet.<\/p>\n
