Earlier this week, we got the first major casting news surrounding The Batman since Robert Pattinson was revealed to be playing the Caped Crusader, with numerous outlets reporting that Jeffrey Wright had signed on as Commissioner Gordon and Jonah Hill was in talks to take on one of the villain roles.
We’ve known for a while now that The Batman is set to feature multiple villains and Hill is one of several big names that had been linked to the Penguin over the last few months, but it actually seems as if the actor may be set for another role, with Collider recently saying he’s up for the Riddler. And while there’s no confirmation from the studio on that just yet, bringing Jonah Hill on board to play the Penguin does seem a little too obvious and it could be more interesting to see him as Edward Nygma instead.
If you’re having trouble picturing him as the Riddler, though, we’ve got some new artwork today which just may help.
