Overview

  • On June 12, director Matt Reeves posted a '#FirstShot' set photo to confirm that principal photography for The Batman: Part II has started in the U.K.
  • Also on June 12, entertainment reporter Jeff Sneider published a widely picked up report saying Sebastian Stan will play serial killer Victor Zsasz and Brian Tyree Henry will play Harvey Dent, with the Court of Owls reportedly part of the plot and Scarlett Johansson and Charles Dance described as playing 'meld' characters.
  • Warner Bros. and Reeves have not publicly confirmed which actors play which characters, and outlets are treating Sneider’s claims as unverified reporting rather than studio announcements.
  • If Sneider’s casting reassignments prove accurate, the film’s villain focus would shift from a Harvey Dent/Two‑Face origin to a darker, serial‑killer‑led investigation that broadens into Gotham corruption themes.
  • The Batman: Part II remains set for an October 1, 2027 theatrical release and the next signs to watch for confirmation are official casting notices, further set photos, and production updates from the studio or Reeves.
