The Batman: Every Rumour You Need To Know

7. Jonah Hill Is In Talks For Either Riddler Or Penguin [UPDATED]

Jonah Hill is a tremendously talented actor and one who would feel right at home in a number of roles plucked from DC's comics. So, it should come as encouragement for Batman fans that the actor has been heavily linked with two parts in particular for The Batman - both villains.

Variety reported back in September that Hill had boarded the project, but that his role was yet to be confirmed. Apparently he's in talks for either the Riddler or Penguin, and to be honest, it's easy to see how he could do both roles justice.

Sadly, according to The Hollywood Reporter's Borys Kit, it's just emerged that Hill failed to come to an agreement with Warner Bros., and so has departed the project at this point in time.

Even though Hill leaving the project is a disappointment, at least Bat-Fans can take solace in the fact that both Riddler and Penguin are pretty much nailed on to appear now. Here's hoping we find out who's playing them before the year's end.
