The Batman Part II Cast Eying The Crown Star for DC Movie

Little is known about DC’s upcoming The Batman Part II, but a new casting report suggests we might know something about what’s set to happen in the movie.

Who is joining The Batman Part II cast?

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

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’s foes after they’ve been captured or apprehended.

It’s 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’s villains appear. The name Arkham was briefly teased in 2022’s The Batman, with The Riddler being placed in Arkham State Hospital after being caught by Batman.

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.

According to a recent report, The Batman 2 — also known as The Batman Part II or The Batman Part 2 — will begin production at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in London, United Kingdom, on January 1, 2026.

Pattinson will reprise his role as Batman in the movie, while the website lists the returning cast as Farrell, Andy Serkis as Alfred, and Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon. It also says Barry Keoghan is “expected” to return as the Joker, though this has not been confirmed by Warner Bros. Pictures as of yet.
