The Batman Part II Eyes Court of Owls, Casts Sebastian Stan as Victor Zsasz

Summary
Jeff Sneider reported that The Batman Part II is lining up the Court of Owls as its main villain, with Sebastian Stan now said to be playing serial killer Victor Zsasz rather than Harvey Dent.
The shift would push Matt Reeves’ sequel deeper into Gotham’s secret-elite corruption, using Zsasz as a plausible enforcer for the Court instead of revisiting a more familiar Two-Face origin.
Brian Tyree Henry is now tipped to play Dent, and the report suggests he may not become Two-Face at all, while Warner Bros. has confirmed casting but not character assignments for Stan and Scarlett Johansson.
Barry Keoghan’s Joker is still rumored to appear, potentially from Arkham in a Hannibal Lecter-style role, as Reeves appears to hold back a larger Joker arc for a possible third film.
