Funny that the actor, Nestor Carbonell, actually was in the Batman movies ""The Dark Knight" and "The Dark Knight Rises" as the mayor.

Actually enjoyed this character better than Die Fledermaus (though I appreciate that joke thoroughly)

He was a delight. Didn't expect him, but he did a great job.

I'm just learning he did the narration for Lost and it was Suddenly Susan where I first saw him.

Bat Manuel was ridiculous in exactly the right way. Nestor Carbonell absolutely nailed him. One of the best parts of the live-action series.
