Highly approve of the choice. Hopefully this means the casting flood gates are about to open on this film.
I like him, but this movie sounds all over the place. I have no idea where it fits in or what it's trying to be anymore
I mean, she'd have to at least be mixed
Shut em down with the fact we already had Latinx Gordons (voiced by Héctor Elizondo and Rosario Dawson) in LEGO Batman
I thought that it has been clear this was unrelated to the "DCEU" for a while now. I guess they really haven't said anything concrete officially. But, there really just isn't a DCEU any more, so this is a full on reboot.
the title of the movie really makes me want a joker that looks like this
this dude was like half-animal in the show

Awesome actor. Should be good assuming they actually give Gordon anything to do.
But does this mean this isn't connected to the DCEU? Or are they literally scrapping everything associated with Snyder's version of Batman? Because I really liked Irons as Alfred.

Nothing has been clear at all, and as far as we've been told, this is essentially a prequel to the DCEU.
Awesome choice, hope they do it.
Sad JK Simmons didn't get a fair shake though.
I think Stephen Lang would've been an awesome Gordon for the Superheavy arc.

A shared DC universe is deader than The Dark Universe. I mean, Wonder Woman and Aquaman will obviously live on, but I just think everything will live in its own universe for now. Some years from now maybe they'll decide to start crossing streams again, but it will be weird as I guarantee they just pretend like the previous shit didn't happen. That or the Joker does some really fucked up shit to Gordon over the years.
After how BvS and Justice League turned out, I can't imagine wanting to anchor your most popular character to those movies. They need to wipe the slate clean after that shit.
Me and a buddy constantly talk about his role in that. So goddamn good, and then you think not so many years before he played the villain (or one of rather) in the Shaft remake.
The guy has range for sure.
Seems pretty obvious to me this will be its own thing; why manacle yourself to the shitshow of BvS/Justice League when you can draw a line under it? They've already said DCEU is gonna focus on solo movies moving forward so it works.
I'm so confused. So Justice League and BvS didn't happen?
Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Suicide Squad are just retconned into this universe?

Jonah Hill joins cast too. But ios13 being the buggy piece of shit it is, won't allow me to copy/paste the link.
It's on Variety.

All this hemming and hawing over continuity when we have no idea when these characters will intersect again.
You won't see Gordon in a Justice League movie for at least 5 years, if ever again.

I think Wright would be a good Gordon, he was great in Westworld. He projects this sense of world-weary authority which I think fits well with Gordon's character.
