The Penguin Could Be The Villain In Matt Reeves’ Batman Movie

In a post on Twitter, Variety‘s Justin Kroll revealed that current rumors suggest The Penguin will be the villain in Matt Reeves’ The Batman. The rumor also suggests that if Penguin isn’t used for The Batman, he could be in Birds of Prey instead.

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

Reeves is set to write and direct with Ben Affleck still playing Batman at this time. Affleck was originally set to write and direct but took a step back last year.

Kroll added: ““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.“
