Warner Bros. and DC Studios have confirmed the addition of Sebastian Stan to the cast of The Batman: Part II as Harvey Dent, aligning with concurrent merchandise announcements for Matt Reeves' cinematic universe. Stan disclosed his casting during a French media appearance, cementing the character's arrival ahead of the film's theatrical debut.
Casting and Release Schedule
Stan will step into the role of the Gotham City district attorney, a pivotal addition to the noir-driven narrative established in the 2022 original film. Principal production details remain tightly guarded by the studio, but the release date is locked in for February 18, 2028. This schedule gives Reeves and his production team an extended post-production window following delays that pushed the initial 2025 rollout.
LEGO Batman Returns Batmobile
Parallel to the casting announcement, The LEGO Group unveiled a 2,269-piece building set inspired by the Tim Burton-directed Batman Returns. Measuring 17 inches in length, the kit features a functioning transformation mechanism that converts the standard vehicle configuration into the Batmissile mode seen in the 1992 film.
The set includes a redesigned Batman minifigure featuring an updated cowl piece. Retailing at $229.99, the product will be available through official LEGO channels starting September 4, 2026.
These concurrent developments underscore the ongoing commercial synergy between DC's theatrical slate and high-end collector merchandise, maintaining brand presence across multiple platforms nearly two years ahead of the sequel's premiere.
