The Batman's John Turturro Reacts To Carmine Falcone Twist
Warning: This post contains major spoilers for The Batman.
The Batmanstar John Turturro reacts to the movie's Carmine Falcone twist and offers his own perspective on it. Directed by Matt Reeves, The Batman is DC's latest big screen take on the iconic superhero. It stars Robert Pattinson as a far more tortured version of the Caped Crusader, now in his second year as Gotham's vigilante.

Reeves wisely avoids showing Martha and Thomas Wayne's deaths onscreen for the umpteenth time, but they are referenced frequently throughout the film. The Waynes' murders have gone unsolved for years, but as secrets about their past emerge, Bruce finds himself turning to notorious crime boss Carmine Falcone (Turturro) for answers. Falcone reveals he's always believed Sal Maroni was responsible for the deaths, but then Alfred Pennyworth (Andy Serkis) adds a new layer later on by suggesting to Bruce that it was actually Falcone who ordered the hit on his parents.
