Jeffrey Wright IS Commissioner Gordon

[Web-Head]

'The Batman' Targets Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon (Exclusive)

 

[Boom]

This took me all the way.

 

[Arachnerd]

Bring on the fan manips!

 

[Maze]

Gotham World has a new sheriff in town, and this is perfection

 

[batman44]

I can't believe it, he was my top choice for Gordon and Reeves cast him.

 

[DeadlyWest]

Immediately sold

 

[Sawyer]

I need a picture of him with a mustache before I decide whether or not I want him to just keep the beard.

 

[FunkMiller]

There is no conceivable way that anyone with a grip on reality could not think this was a great piece of casting

I’m actually starting to feel pre-Begins levels of excitement for this film now. This is a lovely thing after the past few years

[Kirk Langstrom]

So is this confirmed?

 

[DeadlyWest]

He's in talks at the minute, same way that Pattinson was. We'll likely get official confirmation soon enough

Totally not a hidden beard here:

The confirmation already came in the form of a direct tweet from Wright.

 

[DeadlyWest]

Well I'll be damned. Just looked. We're in good hands, lads.

 

[Arachnerd]

Between Joker and this, I think we might have some great bat-filled years ahead of us.

 

[Gothamsknight]

He's an absolutely fantastic choice! The cast for this film is so damn good.

 

[DeadlyWest]

Joker, this and we may be about to get an announcement of another Batman game. We might be about to enter the greatest few years for Batman since TDKT, if not the Animated Series

 

[Marvel united]

Shine the Bat signal, Jim

 

[craigaat]

Called it. He'll be perfect.

 

[Boom]

Glasses, trench coat, hat, pipe.

Gimme it.

 

[Arachnerd]

BossLogic, where you at bro.

 

[The Shape]

Glasses, trench coat, hat, pipe.

Gimme it.

Don't forget the sass!

 

[Orb]

YES! I dig this. I am in love with the man's voice so him talking about Batman is gonna be nirvana.

 

[DeadlyWest]

Anyone who believes Wright can't be Gordon just needs to watch literally any movie with him as Felix Leiter in the Bond movies. The man was basically playing a proto Gordon in those movies as is.

 

[Gothamsknight]

It's been years since I saw him as Felix (last one I saw was solace) but he was fantastic!
