The Batman: Every Character Confirmed So Far (And 5 Rumoured Ones)
7. Firefly (Rumoured)
Continuing with the theme of villain after villain, there are rumours that Matt Reeves isn't stopping with just the bad guys he's cast so far. There are some of the biggest names in Batman's rogues gallery set to be rebooted once again, but there may be one getting his first big break on the big screen.
Garfield Lynns, better known in the comics as Firefly, has never been one of the most well known villains in DC lore, but could be utilised by Reeves in The Batman. In 2019, just after Robert Pattinson's casting announcement, there were reports of the director's casting breakdown, including Firefly.
Reportedly looking for an actor of any ethnicity between the ages of 20 and 30, Firefly will likely only be a secondary character in The Batman, as there really isn't room for any more major characters at this point.
Though Lynns actually dates back to 1952 in the comics, his only live action appearance to date was in season one of Arrow as an adversary to Oliver Queen. The serial arsonist may only be terrorising Gotham for a short while in The Batman, but this would be his chance to make a big impression on mainstream audiences everywhere.
