The Batman cast adds The Eternals' Barry Keoghan as Officer James Gordon's first partner in crime
Tꦅhe role hints that Barry Keoghan could have a major role in The Batman spin-off, Gotham P𒉰D
We learnt a lot about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Batman from DC Fandome. Not only were there 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:first-look images and a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:stunning new trailer, but director Matt Reeves was on hand to explain how his take on The Dark Knigh🦩t will be different from what we've seen before.
However, one piece of news that didn't make the FanDome panel, 🌃but has since appeared online, was a🍰 new casting. According to the official The Batman trailer, Barry Keoghan will appear in the movie as Officer Stanley Merkel.
Now, that's quite an interesting casting. Having broken into the mainstream thanks to a role in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk, Keoghan will next appear in Marvel's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Eternals. That's another actor crossing super✃hero streams!
His character, Officer Stanley Merkel, was James Gordon's first partner in the comics. Merkel is eventually found dead, having been killed by the Hangman on St. Pa🐷trick's Day. Keoghan's an Irish actor, which ties in with St. Patrick's Day... Could he be The Riddler's victim in the upcoming Batman movie? We'll have to wait and see.
Should Keoghan's role be a minor one, we can perhaps expect to see him expanded on in the spin-off HBO series, Gotham PD, which will take a closer look at the corruption within the department. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Reeves said during FanDome that the ser⭕ies will follow one officer in particular – and there's a serious chance that could be Keoghan's Merkel.
Also at DC Fandome, we got a behind-the-scenes featurette on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn's upc🐽oming Thꦫe Suicide Squad, a 澳🥀洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:trailer for Zack Snyder's Justice League, and a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new teaser for Wonder Woman 1984. It really all went down.
