No, Sebastian Stan Hasn't Confirmed He Is Harvey Dent in 'The Batman: Part 2'
Sebastian Stan did not actually confirm that he is playing DC villain Harvey Dent in Matt Reeves upcoming “The Batman: Part 2.”
Le Journal du Dimanche reported Monday that the actor said, “I play Harvey Dent,” while discussing the film during an interview with the French outlet, which set social media ablaze Tuesday.
However, according to two insiders, Stan was misquoted and the French publication has since updated their misprint in the online article.
Sebastian Stan during a newspaper interview confirms he's playing Harvey Dent in 'The Batman: Part II'.
Stan's full quote from the newspaper interview article briefly talking about The Batman: Part II when originally asked a question regarding Avengers: Doomsday:
>"We didn't have a script. We were just shooting scattered scenes. It's a different way of working, continuous, constantly evolving. The producers didn't want us to read it in its entirety, to avoid journalists asking us questions. I've been following this rule for fifteen years, I'm used to it. I also can't say anything about The Batman: Part II, by Matt Reeves, where I play Harvey Dent [in theaters February 16, 2028, editor's note]. The beauty of this profession also lies in participating in projects of this scale, which I love as a viewer. Right now, I'm really looking forward to seeing The Odyssey, by Christopher Nolan; it looks amazing."

Quote from a recent 'Lanterns' review: "There’s also a steady drip of DC lore throughout that mentions, alludes to, and sometimes even shows characters like Guy Gardner, Martian Manhunter, Sinestro, Abin Sur, Superman, Batman, and others"
We know Guy & Sinestro are shown, so the other characters are likely just mentioned or alluded to (Although, I still believe Martian Manhunter will appear in the finale, but this quote is just in reference to the 1st four episodes)

|---|---|---|
| 91% | 32 Reviews | 8.1/10 |
Metacritic 74 (10 reviews)
Sample Reviews
TVGuide - 8.8/10
"One of its most notable achievements is serving as a mystery told in a (decidedly TV-MA) premium cable mode (Mundy's True Detective experience can be felt) while still working as a Green Lantern story."
New York Post - Positive
"The series is an enjoyable — if uneven — watch, with barn-burner performances from the two stars, especially Chandler"
Screenrant - 9/10
"All in all, Lanterns is the solo Green Lantern project that DC fans deserve, with exciting action, complex characters, and a gritty, magnetic story."
Indiewire - A-
"It is keenly invested in the fears we carry, what they mean to the world, and how they define our humanity."
Slashfilm - 7.5/10
"Lanterns blends the crime drama of True Detective with the superhero commentary of Watchmen."
Next Best Pictures - 8/10
""Lanterns" knows exactly what it is, and it's all the better for it, unlike most other superhero shows airing these days."
The Daily Beast - Positive
"Structural unevenness aside, it’s grounded even when its superpowered main characters take flight, thanks primarily to stellar lead performances from Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre, which lend this fantastical material its down-to-Earth soul."
RogerEbert.com - Positive
"[It] is a success, incredibly watchable even through its flaws, and nearly heroic in its hits."
Consequence - B
"Lanterns has all the external trappings of an HBO crime drama, one so grounded that at times it’s disconcerting to hear a character casually mention growing up in Gotham (you know, where Batman lives) versus Chicago or New York"
Newsday - 2/4
"At turns sour and embittered, other times bemused, "Lanterns" simply refuses to have much fun."
Jeff Sneider on the latest episode of 'The Hot Mic' podcast claims he's starting to hear rumors that Scarlett Johansson could be playing Reevesverse Poison Ivy.
Sneider's full response when asked by a superchat question regarding The Batman: Part II [1:26:17]:
>"I did hear some things about Batman...We didn't talk about the Poison Ivy of it all...That was part of the report that [DC & HBO] were pitched a Poison Ivy show...and passed on it. Interesting. I'm not saying they didn't pass on it, but like okay, when did they do that? And, are they like, I don't know. I'm starting to hear rumors that like maybe Scarlett Johansson is Poison Ivy, right. Those rumors have been out there. I think that would follow the same for you know, Colin [Farrell] was the Penguin and then he gets the spinoff [show] and I think that was the idea and I don't think that HBO Max is really in a position of turning or passing on a series starring Scarlett Johannson. I don't know if the 'passing on Poison Ivy' thing is like a cover because they don't want us to know that maybe she is Poison Ivy. I mean, is she really just be playing like nobody and again, my own sources said she was playing an amalgamation with a name that maybe wouldn't be familiar to fans of the comics, but I've also heard, you know, yeah, maybe she is playing Poison Ivy. So, I don't know."
His response when asked again by another superchat question regarding the film [1:55:03]:
>"I heard both my things were true. [Sebastian Stan as Victor Zsasz and Brian Tyree Henry as Harvey Dent]. I heard about the maybe Poison Ivy thing that's up in the air. The other thing I definitely heard was Court of Owls is in the movie."
