Gotham City turns to White
Spawn is about to clash with Batman.
Proficient martial-artist and actor Michael Jai White (“Spawn”, “Undisputed II : Last Man Standing”) has joined the cast of the WB’s new “Batman” movie.
In “The Dark Knight”, says MTV Movies Blog, White plays a mobster named Gamble.
Says abovementioned site, “Gamble is one of several mob bosses attempting to take over Gotham’s streets now that Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson in the first ‘Batman’ flick) is out of the picture. As “Dark Knight” opens, Batman and Jim Gordon must decide whether to focus their energy on aspiring thugs like Gamble, or the homicidal Joker (Heath Ledger), a costumed anarchist bank robber.”
Rapper David Banner was also under contention for the part of Gamble, but White could kick higher – – – or something.
White is of course best known for playing the title role in the 1997 comic turned film “Spawn”.
Meantime, speaking of all things Caped Crusader, IGN asked Christian ‘Batman’ Bale whether he’ll be taking part in the upcoming Justice League movie. According to the one-time American Psycho, he’d indeed be keen to kick it with Superman, Aquaman and Wonder Woman in the one film.
“It’s like I was saying to Chris [Nolan] — I’ll be probably doing this in dinner theater somewhere in my 50s, so I won’t knock it. Because who knows where I’ll end up?”
