With sad announcement, I just found out that actor David Warner has passaway. He was best known for playing Ra’s Al Ghoul in Batman The Animated and Jor-el in Lois & Clark The Adventures of Superman.
He really had a great career in both movie and television. There will be a watch Along of Batman The Animated Series ‘Demon’s Quest’ in his memory this Saturday.

This makes me so sad. I remember him in so many movies and TV shows, especially as Jack the Ripper in Time After Time. It’s been a bad month for people I admire dying. Over the weekend director Bob Rafelson, who co-created The Monkees, died.

Another sad loss. I loved his performances as Ra’s al Ghul. It’s really difficult for me to imagine another voice for the character.

Sad news. Rest In Peace

Also, though he seems like an odd fit for the rom-comm-y series Lois & Clark, he played Jor-El on that. Did a lot of Shakespeare, but also a ton of sci-fi work

Rest in Peace, he did great work outside of DC too “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze”, “Tron”, “Freakazoid”

In addition to those tip-top credits, he was in Star Treks V and VI and guest-starred on Star Trek: The Next Generation as well.
RIP Mr. Warner.

One thing I learned from his IMDB page: He was almost Freddy Krueger, but he had to back out of taking the role and they gave it to Robert Englund instead.

Probably for the better.
While I’m a big David Warner fan, I don’t think he’d have aced Krueger as well as Englund (who played Riddler on The Batman TV series, incidentally) ultimately did.
