'The Batman': Jonah Hill No Longer Eyeing Villain Role

Jonah Hill is no longer taking a trip to Gotham.

The actor, who was first reported to be in early talks for The Batman last month, is no longer eyeing a role in Matt Reeves and Warner Bros.' film. Sources said at the time that Hill was considering playing one of two villains, the Riddler or the Penguin, but he and Warner Bros. could not come to terms on a deal.
