The long-delayed Batman Part 2 gets an official update on Superman Day

Move over Superman, a Game of Thrones actor is in The Batman Part 2 April 18 is Superman Day, and it is supposed to be all about the superhero who kicked off DC Studios' new cinematic universe last year. That's why it's surprising that the biggest DC Studios-related news of the day is that Game of Thrones alumnus Charles Dance joined the cast of The Batman Part 2. Deadline reported on Saturday morning that Dance had been cast in the sequel to 2022's The Batman, which takes place in a different universe from 2025's Superman. Although DC Studios did not comment on the casting, Deadline reported that Dance will portray Charles Dent, the father of Harvey Dent. Harvey Dent is a Gotham City District Attorney who becomes the villain Two-Face after an attack scars his face. While Two-Face appeared in Batman Forever and The Dark Knight, The Batman Part 2 will seemingly focus more on his whole family. Sebastian Stan was cast to play Harvey Dent, while Scarlett Johansson was cast as his wife. While this casting announcement is surely going to delight The Batman fans — Charles Dance is a great actor with a storied history in film, television, and theater, after all — it may disappoint Superman
