The Batman Casts Eternals Star Barry Keoghan As Jim Gordons Partner

The cast of The Batman has grown and now includes Eternals star Barry Keoghan as Jim Gordon’s partner. Under the direction of Matt Reeves, an incredible cast has been assembled for The Batman. Robert Pattinson will star as the new Batman, who will be challenged by Paul Dano’s Riddler, Colin Farrell’s Penguin, and Zoë Kravitz’s Catwoman. Batman won’t be alone in facing Gotham’s criminals, as Jeffrey Wright will play Jim Gordon and Andy Serkis is Bruce’s trusty butler Alfred Pennyworth.

Even though the film is still more than a year away from hitting theaters, fans were recently treated to the first trailer for The Batman. The footage arrived despite only 25% of the film’s production being completed due to coronavirus, but what was shown still packed a punch. Fans have been buzzing about The Batman ever since, as they try to figure out all the clues and secrets that the trailer might have included. However, one surprise came from the trailer description.

While millions of people have gone to YouTube to watch the official trailer for The Batman, Warner Bros. confirmed a new addition to the cast in the video’s description. As pointed out by Batman-News, the cast list for The Batman listed includes the previous unannounced addition of Eternals star Barry Keoghan. The description not only confirms Keoghan’s role in the movie, but it confirmed his role as Officer Stanley Merkel – Gordon’s partner in the comics.

Keoghan is slated to star as Druig in Marvel Studios’ Phase 4 film Eternals, so The Batman will be his second comic book movie role. The young actor recently appeared in The Killing of a Sacred Dear, Dunkirk, and HBO’s Chernobyl series. Keoghan will now play Stanley Merkel, who is the original GCPD partner for Jim Gordon. He had a role in Batman: Year One and died in Batman: Dark Victory at the hands of the Hangman. Even though Keoghan’s casting is only just being announced, his addition in the main cast list on the trailer is a likely indicator that he will have a significant role in The Batman.

Now that Merkel is confirmed to appear in the movie, it will be intriguing to see what role he has. His comic history of being the sixth victim of a serial killer isn’t too far away from the potential plot of The Batman. Reeves might not be adapting Dark Victory beat for beat with his movie, but it is possible that he is taking some inspiration from it. After all, Merkel could be a corrupt GCPD cop in The Batman, and someone Riddler targets due to his association with Batman through Gordon. In any case, Keoghan is a talented actor to add to The Batman’s cast.
