J.K. Simmons IS Commissioner Gordon

J.K. Simmons explains why he really looked so jacked in those workout photos

I think of J. Jonah Jameson in the 90s cartoon, come in here, and instantly see the thread about the actor who played the movie version of that character on top.
What a coincidence.

J.K. Simmons explains why he really looked so jacked in those workout photos

I knew it was his voice I heard in the trailer of Kung Fu Panda 3.
At least we know he was prepared far ahead to play the role.

Simmons still has one more trip to London to go to wrap his work as Commissioner Gordon on the action-adventure flick (due Nov. 17, 2017), but he says his time on set with Ben Affleck (Bruce Wayne/Batman), Ezra Miller (Barry Allen/The Flash), Gal Gadot (Diana Prince/Wonder Woman), director Zack Snyder, and more has already “been a fun experience, and knock wood, if it continues, then I’ll hopefully get to play Commissioner Gordon in a handful of movies.” Fingers crossed for that, but more immediately, what’s in store for Simmons’ take on the familiar Batman ally?

“People of my generation remember Commissioner Gordon as this jolly, ineffectual Santa Claus type, and I think over the years in the comics there’s definitely much more of a badass side to him,” Simmons explains. “One of the things that’s interesting to me is investigating hopefully a little bit more of that badass [side]…You’re living in a universe where it’s pretty tough to be a badass compared to somebody like Batman, but in the universe of non-superheroes I like the idea of Commissioner Gordon as a guy that can take care of himself, a guy that’s a real partner to Batman, not just a guy that turns on the bat signal and goes, ‘Help! Help, Batman!’”

That explains why Hal Jordan donned the trenchcoat:

"I'll be your Gordon guys, just let me in!"

No way Alfred is totally going to be the seventh Member and will be in the battle f****** up parademons from his gunnery seat.

JK Simmons is playing at the All Stars Celebrity Softball Game and these announcers have made no mention of him being our Jim Gordon. These uncultured swine...

Q: I'm not arguing with you on that, J.K. And you're moving back into your own superhero world with Justice League -- how is filming going?

My part is done. They are filming that for basically most of 2016, so some of the superheroes are still at work in jolly old London, but I'm back home with my family.

Q: Playing Commissioner Gordon, I assume that most of your scenes are with Ben Affleck's Batman? But did you get to play around with anyone else on the team?

Yeah, mostly with Ben. In this first installment of the Justice League, Commissioner Gordon is not a particularly sizable part. We just kind of introduce him and see a little bit of his interactions with Batman -- and with most of the Justice League. That was a really fun set. Zack [Snyder] runs sort of a big, happy family and it's obviously, in many ways, a very different work environment when you're working on a big, giant movie like that than a relatively small movie like The Meddler. But at the end of the day, the director is the one who sets the tone. And one of the things that Zack and Lorene have in common is they're just nice, smart, competent, fun people that you don't mind spending a 12-hour day with.
