Other Rumored Villains That Can Bring Potential Nightmares to Batman in His Next Challenge

If the majority of talks and rumors are to be believed, then Hush is definitely coming on board. Many fans, as well as trusted insiders like Jeff Sneider, believe this might be true. He mentioned in his podcast, The Hot Mic, that,

“Is there a rumor that the villain is going to be Hush? Maybe. Maybe that rumor exists… I have heard whispers of a Hush,”

Nothing can be known for sure until the time comes. The hush-hush around the topic isn’t helping either. On the other side, fans have taken matters into their own hands, theorizing and speculating, preparing themselves for the hit that will eventually come.

Although some are saying they cannot be the main villain, and thus this makes room for the movie to bring someone big like Barry Keoghan’s Joker, to make a return that would make up for a big moment in the saga, taking over as the main villain, replacing The Riddler.

For now, this can go in a lot of ways and thus, only time will tell if the fans’ theories can accurately predict things.

The Batman Part II is currently set for release a 2025 release most probably on October 3rd
