I’ve been scrambling to catch up on news bits today — and this was one that seemed iffy as of this afternoon but then shifted into Actual Casting News.
Slashfilm uncoverted a bit of casting news on The Tracking Board that said Daniel Sunjata had joined the cast in an unspecified role.
Warner Bros and Sunjata’s reps remained silent, but Variety got the confirmation. Sunjata will be playing a “courageous special forces operative.” He’s joined by Diego Klattenhoff who is a “rookie cop who is looking to make a difference” and Burn Gorman in an unspecified (but probably as a policeman or a thug) role.
I’m not familiar with the other two, but Sunjata is a good pick. I liked him a lot on Rescue Me, and if he gets to throw down with Christian Bale once, I will consider my ticket well spent. I’ll also settle for some kind of violent and sexualized confrontation with Anne Hathaway.
How can I wish for such things? Well, I bet they all start out hunting Batman, but then they realize they must all unite against a greater threat. I know, some brilliant deductive work there on my part.

This’ll probably be like Anthony Michael Hall’s “role” in that it’s basically a cameo. Love Sunjata, though. He was a disturbingly childish Reggie Jackson.
I would be totally disappointed if something as obvious as “they all start out hunting Batman then unite against a bigger threat” happened. Hopefully Nolan won’t take such a predictable route.
Gorman was “Owen Harper” in the first two seasons of “Torchwood”
Yeah that would be the Classic Marvel approach. So far Nolan’s Batman isn’t his own creature yet, (so to speak) he still relies on mentors and benefactors. This guy will be part of a Year One style dirty cop saga with Gordon in the middle.
supposed to be after McGreedy’s comment
