J.K. Simmons Talks his Version Of Jim Gordon

Published Sat, 02 Jul 2016 11:53:52 -0500

J.K. Simmons wowed folks with the recent pictures of him working out and looking like he could play Batman instead of Commissioner Gordon. Simmons talked with Entertainment Weekly about the upcoming Justice League film (Nov 17th, 2017).

The actor says he has one more trip to London to finish shooting but he's already been having fun with Ben Affleck (Bruce Wayne/Batman), Ezra Miller (Barry Allen/The Flash), Gal Gadot (Diana Prince/Wonder Woman), director Zack Snyder, and more. He also hopes he'll be able to play Gordon in a handful of films.

When asked what fans can expect from his take on Jim Gordon:

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. 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!'
