The Batman<\/em>‘s star-studded cast<\/a> continues to grow.<\/p>\n

According to Deadline<\/a><\/em>, Colin Farrell<\/a><\/strong> is in negotiations with Warner Bros. to join the highly-anticipated film.

The cast of The Batman<\/em> already includes Robert Pattinson<\/a><\/strong>, who is set to play<\/a> Bruce Wayne\/the Caped Crusader in the film.<\/p>\n

In mid-October, E! News learned that Big Little Lies<\/em> actress Zo\u00eb Kravitz<\/a><\/strong> had been cast in The Batman<\/em>, landing the iconic role<\/a> of Selina Kyle\u2014aka Catwoman. Around that same time, Warner Bros. announced that actor Paul Dano<\/strong> will play the role of the villain known as The Riddler.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
