Robert Pattinson’s Dark Knight will not have it easy in his debut outing, as The Batman will beat the Caped Crusader against three of Gotham’s most notorious supervillains – Penguin (Colin Farrell), Riddler (Paul Dano) and Catwoman (Zoe Kravitz). Not to mention crime boss Carmine Falcone (John Turturro). Clearly, director Matt Reeves wants to establish a world where many of the hero’s enemies already exist. At least one comic strip, in addition to the above, may also appear in the movie.
Giant Freakin Robot reports that Jervis Tetch AKA plays the Mad Hatter a secret role The Batman. The source of the outlet could not say the nature of his role in the film or how much screen time he would reveal, but we can apparently look forward to seeing Hatter make his big screen debut. As GFR mentions in their article, this intellect also confirms what We Got This Covered reported in 2019.
Mad Hatter was originally more stupid than a threat than a threat, but over time he changed into a darker, much more indifferent person. In particular, he is known for his brain control devices that enable him to mentally enslave his victims. He was previously played by like David Wayne (Batman ’66), Roddy McDowall (Batman: the animated series), Peter MacNicol (Arkham games) and Benedict Samuel (Gotham).
Tetch does not have the level of pop culture recognition to be a main villain in a Batman movie, but DC fans will like it if the whimsical criminal even shows up for a twist in Reeves’ picture. Other well-known faces such as Scarecrow, Bane or Hush were also linked to the film at various points, but the possible plans changed during the long COVID-19 production period.
Anyway, The Batman should hit theaters in a year on March 4, 2022, and it sounds like you can expect a whole bunch of villains to appear in the picture.
