Jeffery Wright on THE BATMAN: “We Were Doing Some Pretty Cool Stuff”

3618

While appearing on THE BEAT WITH ARI MELBER, Jeffery Wright — who is playing Jim Gordon in THE BATMAN — talks a bit about, well, THE BATMAN

Batman is fascinating.  It’s evolved from 1939 to now.

What we were trying to do it to try to create a film, and a tone, a mood, a setting that’s contemporary, grounded…in a Gotham that we might all relate to…and we’re doing it together.

What I’m doing as Commissioner Gordon is to play off of what Rob Pattinson is doing as Batman.

Yeah, we were all in this together and doing some…pretty cool stuff.

Word.

Here’s hoping that they are able to get back to filming here soon — as long as it’s safe, of course — so we can ultimately see that “contemporary, grounded,” and “pretty cool stuff.”

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
