Could the PENGUIN be the villain!?
Excitement builds in the world of Gothamites..
Variety’s Justin Kroll says that Oswald Cobblepot will be the one confounding the Dark Knight, posting the following on Twitter:
“Take this with a grain of salt as things are constantly changing in the DCEU but I’m hearing the Penguin is possibly the choice to play the main villain in THE BATMAN. Sources add even if Reeves decide to go another route the studio could then make him the main villain in BOP.”
This is just a rumor at this point.
The Tweets go on from Kroll:
Reeves is still working on the script, so that could always change but of the multiple BIRDS OF PREY scripts submitted, one does have the Penguin as the main heavy. Either way, it seems WB wants this character cast in the universe sooner rather then later.
The Penguin first appeared in Detective Comics #58 all the way back in December of 1941 .. let’s all hope we see him again … it’s one of the best villains in any comic that ever existed.
