According to Variety Nestor Cabonell (Lost) is been lined up to return as Gotham City’s Mayor as the actor is in talks which should be sorted very shortly and will join the ever increasing cast of Batman returnees which include, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman.

In the last movie The Mayor didnt have a major role in the movie but a few pivotal roles with Comissioner Gordon along with Harvey Dent you wonder how big his role will be in this movie plus will he actually get a full name this time?
