Written by GLHe trashed Ra’s Al Ghul and made The Scarecrow pee his pants, and then we saw him heading off to take down The Joker. Now, what?
MTV News has learned that rapper/actor David Banner auditioned this week for a role in The Dark Knight, the super-secretive sequel to 2005’s Batman Begins. According to Banner, he would play a villain named Gamble, another criminal to help fill out the rogue ranks alongside Heath Ledger’s Joker.
The larger story must also be the presence of this mysterious Gamble character. Various searches on the Internet show that this Batman baddie has never appeared in a Dark Knight comic before.
Banner stressed that he couldn’t divulge anything more about the character, and that he didn’t know if he had landed the part just yet. But either way, David Banner seems one step closer to joining Ledger, Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhart and the other illustrated men of Gotham City.
Take note comic fans: David Banner actually named himself after our very own The Incredible Hulk (because he was such a fan of the old school TV show). Props.
Directed by Christopher Nolan, The Dark Knight is currently filming, and is targeting a July 2008 release.
