Pat Hingle, known primarily to the fan community for playing Commissioner Gordon in four Batman films, has died.  The actor passed at his Carolina Beach home; the cause was myelodysplasia (a type of blood cancer), which Hingle had contended with for the past two years.  Hingle had literally dozens of credits to his name, spanning fifty years in TV and film.  His most famous role is indeed likely that of Gordon, a part he played in Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, and Batman & Robin.  Pat Hingle was 84.
