And here we go…

Per MEDIUM, Tobias Menzies (THE CROWN) is being eyed to play the role of Amadeus Arkham in THE BATMAN PART II.

In the Batman mythos, Amadeus Arkham is the founder of Gotham’s Arkham Asylum.  Introduced in DC Comics in the late 1970s, Amadeus Arkham is typically portrayed as a brilliant yet disturbed doctor with a tragic family history and a descent into madness. He was briefly mentioned in THE RIDDLER: YEAR ONE comic book miniseries, written by Paul Dano, who plays Edward Nigman/The Riddler in THE BATMAN EPIC CRIME SAGA.

MEDIUM also reports that Luke Roberts and Stella Stocker will return as Thomas and Martha Wayne, respectively.

If Amadeus Arkham and The Waynes are in THE BATMAN PART II, I suspect we’ll be getting some flashbacks.  And remember, Martha Wayne is an Arkham.

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
