Court of Owls to Rule a Darker Gotham in The Batman 2 Rumors

Rumors suggest The Batman Part II will introduce the Court of Owls as a darker, more domestic Gotham threat, with Sebastian Stan possibly playing Harvey Dent/Two-Face or Victor Zsasz and Brian Tyree Henry attached as Dent, while Scarlett Johansson’s role remains unconfirmed and Barry Keoghan’s Joker may linger in Arkham; the Court would be a sins-made-flesh foe rather than an invading force, signaling a bolder, grimmer sequel, though no official casting has been confirmed as production moves forward.
