According to Batman on Film, the upcoming sequel to BATMAN BEGINS, entitled THE DARK KNIGHT, may feature Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.

Batman on Film writes, "This comes in from one of my best sources who previously gave up the scoop Katie Holmes and Ken Watanabe's casting in BEGINS, as well as confirming an offer had made to Ledger). Here goes:

"As you have long suspected, the two main villains in the BATMAN BEGINS sequel will be The Joker and The Penquin. I can confirm that an offer has been made to Philip Seymour Hoffman for the role. Yet Hoffman has indicated that he may not get involved in the sequel."

Could the upcoming sequel feature both Penguin and Joker? If so, let's hope they are balanced better than Two Face and the Riddler in a previous debacle of a Batman film.

Thanks to Jonathan for the heads up.
