Their roles in the DC film haven't been confirmed yet, though that hasn't stopped the speculation. Rumors pointed to Stan playing the serial killer Victor Zsasz while Stan himself seemingly confirmed he'd be playing Harvey Dent in an interview with the French outlet Le Journal du Dimanche. (That article has since been updated, and the mention of Harvey Dent removed from it.) Now, it seems like Heidi Klum's Halloween costume team has confirmed Stan and Henry's roles in The Batman Part 2. Klum dressed up as a severed hand for Halloween (gross). Prosthetic makeup designer Prosthetic Renaissance made that hand, and the company previously worked on 2022's The Batman. Now, an image is circulating online showing Prosthetic Renaissance making Klum's severed hand, and in the background are what look to be prosthetic molds for The Batman Part 2 characters. Brian Tyree Henry is Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face In the picture, you can spot a mold for what looks Brian Tyree Henry. The lower-left part of his face looks to be wounded in some way, indicating that he's Harvey Dent and will begin a transformation into Two-Face in the sequel. Up top is a mold with "Zsasz" written on it, aligning with the rumors that Stan would play the serial killer. There's also a mold that looks like it could be for Charles Dance.

The Court of Owls, a secret society of wealthy Gothamites influencing the city from the shadows, has long been rumored to play a part in The Batman Part 2, and this seems to confirm it. "Owl 3" could be for a mask for one of its members, or perhaps the costume of one of the Court's assassins, named Talons. Reeves has previously said the sequel's villain has "never really been done in a movie before." Steven Soderbergh is taking over in the director's chair to finish filming The Batman Part 2 after Matt Reeves stepped down to address a family matter. After being previously slated for an October 2025, release, The Batman Part 2 is now scheduled to be released in theaters on Feb. 18, 2028.
