How will the villains from ‘The Batman’ return?

After the death of Carmine Falcone, Gotham City has been flooded and Oswald Cobblepot is out there, trying to take control of crime and corrupt Gotham’s police force. With this premise begins his series for HBO. While The Riddler, he was locked up in Arkham Asylum, where he met the Joker, another of the Dark Knight’s villains.

For his part, Paul Dano said he would “probably be there” if asked to return, so it would be interesting to see him form schemes with the smartest and most relentless foe in Batman history. Both have histories that could justify their presence in the sequel, so it wouldn’t be strange to see them return.

The production of “The Batman – Part 2” will begin in November this year, with the hope that its release will not be delayed, as in the first part, and that it will premiere on October 5, 2025, the same year in which the EUDC will restart with the new film ‘Superman: Legacy’.
