The Batman 2 Could Redeem Arkham's Weakest Villain
Camera tests and release date delays for The Batman Part II have revealed some interesting details about Robert Pattinson's suit—the cowl ears have gotten an adjustment. Beyond the costume tweaks, there's speculation that Part II might finally give a proper treatment to one of Arkham's underutilized villains. The article doesn't name which baddie specifically, but the implication is that Reeves' Batman films have the storytelling chops to resurrect a character DC fans haven't connected with yet. It's the kind of character rehabilitation that these films could actually pull off.
ComicsBuzz Take
Reeves proved with Riddler that he can make overlooked villains compelling. If he's tackling another underrated Arkham foe, this could set a template for other DC films.
