"The Batman" Will Now Have 100% Less Jonah Hill In It

    At least we still have Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz.

    I regret to inform you that Jonah Hill has decided not to bless us with a role in the upcoming Batman.

    He was so perfect for the part too.

    In late September, it was reported that Jonah was in negotiations to put forward a dramatic rendition of the Riddler in Matt Reeves' The Batman. But now Jonah has apparently backed out of talks to suit up as the villain.

    Jonah is officially out, according to Deadline.

    As for why Jonah decided not to join The Batman cast, no reason is being given. But he has become increasingly selective about which roles he takes on.

    Honestly, it would have been fascinating to see Jonah interact onscreen with Robert Pattinson, who is playing Bruce Wayne, and Zoë Kravitz, who was just announced as the new Catwoman.

    But given those two actors alone, whoever is chosen to play the Riddler or the Penguin (which Jonah was briefly rumored to be considering) will still be an interesting choice.

    Oh well. Jonah will now have a lot more bandwidth to focus on planning his upcoming wedding.
