Surely Gotham wouldn’t cast Shane West as a character named Eduardo Dorrance without turning him into King Snake!
Sir Edmund Dorrance was a member of the British Army’s Royal Artillery and later became a dangerous mercenary.
Now, nowhere in the official description of Shane West’s character (courtesy of Deadline) is there an explicit reference to somebody named “King Snake,” but DC Comics fans will connect a character named “Eduardo Dorrance” to a comic counterpart with almost exactly the same name.
He eventually took on the “King Snake” title as a villain, although not without fathering a child that would go up to become the back- and Bat-breaking Bane.
