Did Heidi Klum’s Halloween Costume Just Leak The Batman Part II Villains?

The Story

Every October, Heidi Klum turns Halloween into a special-effects event. This year she went as a giant severed hand, and the costume came out of the workshop of Mike Marino, the prosthetics artist who has designed her looks for years. Marino also did the makeup on The Batman and is back for Part II, according to /Film (/Film).

That overlap is where the trouble started. In a behind-the-scenes video showing how Klum’s costume was made, fans paused on the shelves and started zooming in. According to /Film and ComicBook.com, the background appears to show a face cast that looks like Brian Tyree Henry with a disfigured lip and cheek, a box labeled “Zsasz,” a box labeled “Owl 3” and the cast of an older man (/Film; ComicBook.com).

@DCFilmNews put it bluntly: “Heidi Klum’s Halloween makeup team may have accidentally spoiled some major reveals.” The account listed “Sebastian Stan’s Victor Zsasz,” “a Court of Owls mask,” a “Brian Tyree Henry denture cast for Harvey Dent/Two-Face” and “an old man cast, possibly for Charles Dance” (@DCFilmNews on X). The post pulled more than 2.1 million views and 13,000 likes, and outlets including /Film, ComicBook.com, The Direct and Complex picked up the story (@DCFilmNews on X; /Film; ComicBook.com; The Direct; @Complex on X).

What’s confirmed and what isn’t

The cast is real. In May, Reeves confirmed that Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson, Brian Tyree Henry, Sebastian Koch and Charles Dance had joined Robert Pattinson in the sequel, but he didn’t say who they’re playing (Deadline). The release date is also locked: Warner Bros. moved the film to Feb. 18, 2028 (Variety; Deadline).

The roles are not confirmed. Some fan accounts are calling Henry’s Two-Face “official,” but Warner Bros., DC Studios and Reeves haven’t said a word about the leak, and none of the major trades has reported on it. Everything here comes from what fans say they can see in a background shot. A cast with a scarred lip and a labeled box are strong hints, but they aren’t a studio announcement.

Why fans believe it

For most of the year, the going theory was that Stan would play Harvey Dent. Then in June, scooper Jeff Sneider reported that Henry was Dent and Stan was Victor Zsasz, the Gotham serial killer who carves a tally mark into his own skin for every victim (Polygon). The workshop video fits that report almost exactly, which is why so many fans are treating it as the answer (/Film; The Direct).

The “Owl 3” label got just as much attention. The Court of Owls is a secret society that has quietly run Gotham for centuries in the comics, and fans have pitched it as the perfect follow-up to the first film’s story about city corruption (/Film).
