CAROLINA BEACH — Pat Hingle, a veteran actor whose career included a recurring role as Commissioner Gordon in several Batman movies in the 1990s, has died after battling blood cancer. He was 84.
Family friend Michele Seidman says Hingle died at his home in Carolina Beach shortly after 10 p.m. Saturday.
Seidman says he decided to settle in the coastal town after shooting the movie "Maximum Overdrive" in the area in 1986. He lived there for more than 15 years.
Family spokeswoman Lynn Heritage says Hingle was diagnosed with myelodysplasia in November 2006.
His career in movies and television spanned six decades, and he was also nominated for a Tony Award in 1958. Hingle's last movie was "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby," which was released in 2006.

i'll miss this guy. i'm sure you youngsters in the audience won't remember him beyond his (last) role in "talladega nights: the ballad of ricky bobby", but he was a for-real working actor for several decades, and i was happy to see him land the role of commissioner gordon in the REAL "batman" film way back in '89. and from what i've read so far, no one has bothered to mention that he came very close to death in 1960 after falling down an elevator shaft (and lost the lead role in "elmer gantry" to burt lancaster because of it). if you don't know who he is, just google his pic, and you'll know him in a second. thanks for all the good work pat... adios amigo.
regards, jo.

I am going to miss him. He was a great actor. I loved his Commissioner Gordon In the Tim Burton Batman. He will surely be missed.
