Jeffrey Wright is being eyed to play the role of Jim Gordon. Jim is a long-time ally of the Dark Knight. He eventually rises in the Gotham City Police Department to become Commissioner. Hill also is in early talks to play a villain. Yes, you read that right! Hill might essay a baddie on the screen for this film.

Both are part of the so-called Batman’s “rogues gallery” and would hence be perfect to the approach that Reeves is going for with The Batman.
