The decision to cast Harvey Dent/Two-Face has become a coin flip. According to the insider John Rocha, producers of ‘The Batman: Part II’ are looking at Josh Hartnett and Joel Edgerton for the part. In the sequel, Harvey Dent will take over for the corrupt District Attorney Gil Colson, who dies in ‘The Batman.’
John Rocha has hinted we may see the transformation of Harvey Dent to the coin-flipping psychotic monster by the end of the movie. So far, Clayface is the only confirmed antagonist in the film. However, director Matt Reeves could set up an enigmatic Rogues Gallery for the world’s greatest detective.

In Robert Pattinson-starrer ‘The Batman,’ the corrupt District Attorney Gill Colson is killed by the Riddler. This makes the position for the DA open, with Harvey Dent as the most likely candidate. Aaron Eckhart played Harvey Dent in Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight,’ hence there are some huge shoes to be filled.
The plot of ‘The Batman: Part II’ is still under wraps. But we know Clayface is one of the antagonists of the film. Despite the revamp, Matt Reeves’ helmed sequel remains part of James Gunn and Peter Safrans’s plans. ‘The Batman: Part II,’ which had a release date of October 3, 2025, has been delayed to 2027.
