After a period of relative quiet regarding developments with Matt Reeves’ The Batman, Monday is proving to be a busy news day for the upcoming Warner Bros. film. First, it was reported that Jeffrey Wright is in talks to play Commissioner Jim Gordon and now Deadline is reporting that Jonah Hill is also in talks to appear in the film.

Per the report, no deal has been signed yet, but the two-time Oscar nominated Hill is in talks to play a villain in the film. The report did not indicate a specific villain at the time of this writing, though previous canonical Batman villains to grace the big screen have included The Joker, The Riddler, Scarecrow, Penguin, Bane, Poison Ivy, Catwoman and Ra’s al Ghul. There have been previous reports that Hill was rumored to be inconsideration for the role of Penguin for The Batman.
