JK Simmons' Jim Gordon Was Wasted, But Not The Way You Thought
THe DCEU Almost Saw Two More Performances From The Perfectly Cast Part
In the aftermath of the viral gymnasium pic of JK Simmons ' shredded frame , DC fans inevitably believed that Gordon was go to be whole unlike inJustice League . When no sign of that appeared in the finished picture , and Simmons follow the same trend as other actor who played Jim Gordon , there was also some disappointment that the Gotham PD Commissioner was n’t a more all - action version . But really , that sorting of transformation would n’t have fit , and it was far from the worst missed opportunity with the character .
Gordon is a tough but cerebral character and his line to Batman ’s more uttermost method of DoJ - dished out with his physicality - is an authoritative part of their moral force . Gordon is the acceptable face of justice , not a eighties natural action hero cop punch felon into submission . That image of Gordon is n’t really a great miss inJustice League , but the fact that JK Simmons ' entire performance as Gordon come to very little is means more notable .
" What appeal to me about this flick was from Jim Gordon ’s point of part , it ’s really more a story about him as a guy and as a father and not just about the guy who ’s turn on the Bat Signal and trying to keep the citizen of Gotham safe . Although that ’s obviously also a part of the tale … it was a prospect to turn over into a different vista of the character . " -JK Simmons , onBatgirl
Simmons was fairly sideline inJustice League- understandably , yield the focal point on the world - end scourge of Steppenwolf and Darkseid - but the cancelation of bothBen Affleck’sBatmanmovieand the shelvedBatgirlrobbed fans of two more substantial looks at Gordon . For an actor of that level of power , so well - accommodate to the part , be fleece of two chance to show off how cracking that casting was is a catastrophe .
