While the subreddit was deleted for unknown reasons, the DC fan account shared screenshots about the rumoured leaks. Highlighting that there are code names for the unrevealed characters, the user penned, “Scarlett Johansson is the main villain – a serial killer with an obsession with plants. She uses toxins, so I think she’s more a realistic take on Poison Ivy.” Furthermore, the leak mentioned what Sebastian Stan’s role looks like, identifying the role with the features. “[Sebastian] Stan plays a bald serial killer, so [Jeff] Sneider is probably right about him playing Victor Zsasz. Batman initially believes he is the serial killer, but it’s actually Scarlett Johansson.”“She’s targeting Gotham’s elite, one of whom is played by Charles Dance, who leads a secret organisation made up of the city’s most powerful figures,” the screenshot reads.
