Stan's casting is a solid get for Reeves' universe, and that returning lineup is seriously stacked. Can't wait to see how they all bounce off each other in that moody Gotham vibe.
Sebastian Stan jumping from Marvel to DC is a fun shake-up, and I'm really curious to see how he fits into Matt Reeves' already stellar Gotham. The cast they're assembling feels like a perfect match for that grounded, gritty tone.
