Philip Seymour Hoffman as Penguin?
Will the Capote star take up the role of the umbrella-wielding Gotham maniac?
Rumor has it that Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote, State and Main) is in talks to play the Penguin the Batman Begins sequel, according to Batman-on-Film.
Hoffman's old high school drama teacher reportedly told a Rochester, N.Y. TV station that Hoffman was up for the part, while discussing his recent Golden Globe nomination for Capote.
We've heard the Penguin will be an arms dealer in Gotham City, working with the Mob and sometimes at war with the Joker.
