Just found out today through the Hollywood Reporter that J.K. Simmons was cast as Commissioner James Gordon in 2017's Justice League film...which begins principal photography next month. If his performance is anything like the hard-ass music instructor that he played in the 2014 Oscar nominee Whiplash, then Simmons should be intense as Gordon (moreso than Gary Oldman in The Dark Knight trilogy, and Ben McKenzie in FOX TV's Gotham). Fans want him to reprise his role as J. Jonah Jameson in Marvel and Sony's upcoming Spider-Man reboot, but the past is the past. Time for Simmons to move on to greater things—as the Gotham police's biggest ally of Batman. Carry on.
