West previously narrated a commercial for Wayne Securities on the show, the company where the characters work. But now he’ll be returning to the series in a larger capacity in a character that will have to deliver some bad news to the cast.

In the show, some mayhem and destruction in Gotham City will force parent company Wayne Industries to make hard cuts for the future of the company. And that’s when chairman of Wayne Industries Dean West will come to town to deliver some bad news to their subsidiary in Charm City.

No word yet on which episode West will appear in, but it should be coming up pretty soon.
