It is confirmed! Jeffrey Wright is Commissioner Gordon in The Batman, motherfuckers! And I couldn’t be happier. The cast for the movie is shaping up to be fucking fantastic.

Robin may be the ally most associated with Batman, but a close runner-up would be Commissioner Gordon. The grizzled police commissioner who turns a blind eye to Batman’s vigilante activities and turns to the caped crusader when Gotham is in need of help, Gordon is an essential part of the Batman mythos and thus would need a capable actor to play him in Matt Reeves‘ upcoming film, The Batman. Following earlier reports that Jeffrey Wright was set to join The Batman cast in the role of the trusty commissioner, Reeves has now confirmed that the Westworld and Casino Royale actor is putting on the trench coat and fedora.

Last month, it was reported that Wright was in talks to play Commissioner Jim Gordon, the morally upstanding Gotham police commissioner who fights corruption within the city as Batman fights crime on the streets. Now, via Twitter, Reeves has confirmed that Wright is set to play the frequent Batman ally to Robert Pattinson‘s caped crusader.
