Erstwhile Pinhead, aka Doug Bradley, has been cast as Joe Chill for the new post-Batman TV series, Gotham Knights.

In Batman mythology, Joe Chill is the man responsible for gunning down Bruce Wayne’s parents, and thus beginning the whole Dark Knight saga. In the new TV show, he’s been on Death Row for 50 years and isn’t going quietly…

“When casting the iconic role of Joe Chill, arguably the man who created Batman, there was only one name we considered – Doug Bradley,” Gotham Knights exec producers Chad Fiveash, James Stoteraux and Natalie Abram told TVLine in a joint statement. “We needed an actor with the kind of gravitas that would do justice to such a seminal character in DC Comics canon. And who better to embody the role of the classic Gotham fiend than the man whose legendary portrayal of another classic fiend – Pinhead in the Hellraiser franchise — continues to terrify generations of horror fans?”

The series starts on the CW on March 14.
