The Batman has already cast the lead role of the dark knight who will be played by Robert Pattison and now the production is looking to fill the roles of other characters, most notably, the villains.

Recent reports say Jonah Hill is now in early talks about filling the role of one of batman’s antagonists. According to the reports, the talks are about Hill portraying either The Riddler or Penguin.

According to sources, the talks are now in a sensitive place because both sides – Hill and Warner Bros. cannot come to an agreement about which villain Hill will play. In recent years, Hill has reached a status that allows him to be choosy about which parts he wishes to be a part of. He co-starred with the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio on The Wolf of Wall Street and Brad Pitt on Moneyball. He was nominated twice for an Academy Award.

Another actor who is now in talks to join the Matt Reeves’ movie is Jeffrey Wright. Wright is sought for playing the part of Commissioner Gordon, an ally of the Batman.
