Film Gary Dourdan voices Detective Crispus Allen in the 2008 Warner Premiere animated feature Batman: Gotham Knight in the segments "Crossfire", "In Darkness Dwells", and "Deadshot". He is depicted as the partner of Detective Anna Ramirez. In the film, he originally despised Batman's vigilantism. However, after the Dark Knight saved him and his partner from a gang war between Sal Maroni and the Russian mob, Allen begins to see that Batman's presence is necessary in Gotham, even though he still does not approve of vigilantes. In segment six, Allen is seen acting as the go-between for Batman and Gordon, as word has been received that Gordon has been targeted for assassination, so Allen must inform Batman of the Deadshot threat. Crispus Allen is also present in the DC Extended Universe, played by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith. In Justice League, Allen discusses sightings of Parademons with Commissioner Gordon, suggesting that Batman may have been the culprit.
