In a press release sent during DC FanDome, Warner Bros. revealed that The Eternals star Barry Keoghan has joined the rather large cast of Matt Reeves’ The Batman as a character named Officer Stanley Merkel.
Keoghan is probably most known for his work in Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk and Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Killing of a Sacred Deer.

Fans of Batman comic books will recall that Merkel was introduced by Frank Miller as Commissioner James Gordon’s first partner; a character who first appeared in 1987’s Batman #405 and subsequently killed by Sofia Falcone in Batman: Dark Victory.
