The cast for The Batman: Part II is living up to the fine pedigree of the first film. Sebastian Koch, Brian Tyree Henry, Scarlett Johansson, Charles Dance, and Sebastian Stan are joining Robert Pattinson, Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis, Colin Farrell, Jayme Lawson, and Gil Perez-Abraham for the sequel film, directed by Matt Reeves. While some of the newcomers' roles are still unknown, we do know that Stan will be playing the Gotham City District Attorney, Harvey Dent, also known as Two-Face. 

Recently, Sebastian Stan told Deadline that The Batman: Part II will be "a challenge, like everything else. I feel like it’s a really ambitious movie and I think if we do it all right — and obviously I’m so excited about Matt Reeves [directing] because he’s been one of my favorites for a long, long time — I really think it’s going to blow people away. It’s going to surprise a lot of people, I think, too." 

The Batman: Part II takes place in the aftermath of the events of the first film (duh), where Gotham City was flooded after the Riddler set off a group of bombs that destroyed the walls around Gotham Harbor. We got a glimpse of how regular people in Gotham made do in the months after the destruction in the HBO series, The Penguin, starring Colin Farrell. But where there's smoke, there's fire, and it'll be interesting to see how the District Attorney's Office in Gotham is handling the resurgence of crime in the city. 

Back to Stan, now I'm left wondering what his favorite Matt Reeves movies are. Does he prefer Dawn of the Planet of the Apes over War for the Planet of the Apes?
