Matt Reeves' The Batman Part 2 is finally in production, and one of the biggest mysteries surrounding the sequel may have just taken a dramatic turn. While months of rumors pointed toward Harvey Dent and Two-Face, new reports suggest Sebastian Stan could actually be playing Victor Zsasz—one of Batman's most disturbing comic book villains.
If true, it would be one of the boldest creative decisions Reeves has made. In this video, we break down why Zsasz fits the grounded crime-thriller tone established in The Batman, why Reeves has previously hinted that the sequel's villain has "never really been done" on film, and why a serial killer could be a better fit than another larger-than-life supervillain.
We also dive into the latest rumors surrounding Scarlett Johansson's mysterious role, Brian Tyree Henry's reported Harvey Dent casting, Barry Keoghan's Joker, Penguin's surprisingly limited involvement, and how the Court of Owls could still be the franchise's true endgame.
Could Victor Zsasz become Batman's most unsettling live-action villain yet—or is this simply too much of a gamble for one of DC's biggest movies?
