The Batman: 9 Things We Know So Far
7. Josh Gad Is Rumoured To Be The Penguin
We haven't seen The Penguin on the big screen since 1992's Batman Returns, so the prospect of a Cobblepot comeback is exciting indeed.
Actor Josh Gad recently set Twitter abuzz by posting a cryptic photograph that strongly suggests he has been cast in this very role.
The Beauty and the Beast star attended a meeting a DC headquarters where he posed for a picture with movie bosses Geoff Johns and Jon Berg.
That photo alone wouldn't be especially newsworthy, except for the fact he's brandishing a Batman comic with the Penguin on the cover. Don't let Gad's caption fool you, there's definitely something to see here.
Given that the Penguin is arguably the biggest name in the Dark Knight's rogues gallery after the Joker, he would be a solid choice for The Batman's big bad.
But let's hope Deathstroke ends up getting the nod as well, since he's exactly the sort that Cobblepot likes to enter shady deals with.
