The perfect villain for the upcoming DC Universe Elseworlds movie, The Batman – Part II, has already been set up during 2024’s The Penguin series. Matt Reeves’ The Batman, released in 2022, kick-started a new renaissance for the Caped Crusader, as Robert Pattinson’s darker and grittier version of the Dark Knight investigated Paul Dano’s Riddler, who had been targeting the wealthy elite of Gotham City. While the Riddler was featured as The Batman’s primary antagonist, the movie also introduced several other iconic Batman villains from DC Comics.
