Well, this is either a brilliant or very bad idea. Maybe it’s something else entirely.
Per reports, Paul Dano has been cast as Thomas Elliot in THE BATMAN: PART II.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Dano will also reprise his role as Edward Nashton/The Riddler in the film.
Edward Nashton and Thomas Elliot will be portrayed as twin brothers who were separated when their father, Edward Elliot, was murdered. This jibes with what THE BATMAN co-writer Peter Craig kinda-sorta hinted about Edward Nashton’s paternal family background (CLICK HERE for that article).
Nothing was said about the character of Hush appearing in TB2, but scuttlebutt says that Hush will be the main villain of the film and also will be portrayed by BOTH Dano and Robert Pattinson!
I’m just guessing, but it appears that Dano’s Thomas Elliot will have plastic surgery to look like Bruce Wayne, an apparent nod to the “Heart of Hush” storyline in DETECTIVE COMICS (issues #846-#850).
How will this all play out in THE BATMAN: PART II? I have no idea. But for more info and details (which may include spoilers), CLICK HERE. – Bill “Jett” Ramey
