Matt Reeves’ The Batman casts Peter Sarsgaard and he could be playing Harvey Dent a.k.a. Two-Face. 

The casting was announced Friday by Reeves himself who tweeted a gif of Sarsgaard accompanied by a bat emoji.

The forthcoming film stars Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader. The movie also stars Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, Paul Dano as the Riddler, Colin Farrell as Penguin, John Turturro as crime boss Carmine Falcone, Jeffrey Wright as Batman ally Commissioner Gordon and Andy Serkis as Bruce Wayne’s butler, Alfred.

While there’s still no official word, Maggie Gyllenhaal did post a pic of Sarsgaard “halfway through a shave” right around the same time Reeves tweet so it could very much serve as a hint that Sarsgaard will be playing Dent.
