NEW YORK — To make his performance in “The Batman” soar, Jeffrey Wright says he drew inspiration from the city’s most prominent former police officer.
Wright stars as James Gordon in the upcoming superhero film, the only cop in Gotham who trusts Batman when new terrors wreak havoc in the fictional metropolis.
“Gotham is kind of a proxy for New York, and I thought about Eric Adams, our current mayor, for example, who happened to be the captain at one time of my neighborhood’s precinct,” Wright, a longtime Brooklyn resident, told the Daily News.
