Robert Pattinson gets another new castmate
It’s official – Paul Dano will play The Ridder alongside Robert Pattinson’s The Batman.
From THR;
Filmmaker Matt Reeves has found his Riddler for The Batman. Paul Dano has signed on as the classic villain, Warner Bros. announced Thursday.
Dano’s version of the character will be named Edward Nashton, the man who in the comics later goes by the name Edward Nygma and adopts the villainous persona. Frank Gorshin and John Astin played the villain on the 1960s TV series, while Jim Carrey played him in 1995’s Batman Forever, which was directed by Joel Schumacher.
And in other The Batman news THR also confirmed that Matt Reeves has chosen previous co-collaborator Michael Giacchino to compose the music for the film:
Composer Michael Giacchino has said yes to The Batman. Filmmaker Matt Reeves surprised the crowd Friday at an event at London’s Royal Albert Hall, where Giacchino and and fellow composer David Arnold were engaging in some friendly competition by comparing works they’ve done.
When Reeves took the stage, he got down on one knee in a mock proposal, asking Giacchinoto board his project, as captured in a video from an attendee, and reported by Empire journalist Chris Hewitt.
