J.K Simmons did an interview about playing Gordon http://col

Because OP is a fag

asking if he’s been reading comics to prepare for the role:

>“Well, to read the comics, yes, absolutely. I’m still a couple of months out from doing that and I have two other films before then, so I haven’t gotten started on that. Obviously, a lot of really wonderful actors have played that character previously, and most of them I saw at the time the movies came out, never imagining that I would be doing the same thing. So, I can’t say that I don’t have some impression of that character in my head that’s based on what I saw, but I’m not planning on going back and watching any of the other films. I’m just planning on learning as much as I can about him through the comics and getting my feet wet in the first movie, and then hopefully continuing on from there.”

In terms of avoiding revisiting previous portrayals of the character, Simmons likened it to doing theater:

>“I take this from my days doing theater. If I was doing a musical, I would never listen to the cast album because I wanted to do my version of something. I’m sure there will be differences and similarities with what Gary Oldman or Pat Hingle have done before, but I’m just going to try to do my take on it and be as informed as I can about the rich history of the Batman universe, going into it.”

the similarities between Gordon and Jameson begin and end with the facial hair:

>“There are easy comparisons to make. I wasn’t a big comic book reading kid, so I did a fair amount of reading when I was playing Jameson, who was very much the comic relief in those movies. Even in the comics, he was a blowhard who was all bark and very rarely bite. My understanding, from what I’ve learned so far about Commissioner Gordon, is that he’s the older guy with the mustache who relates with our hero in a certain way. Other than that, it’s a vastly different character and much more of a stronger, impactful character in the DC universe.”

I can see Affleck and Simmons having great chemistry together. IF Justice League fails, this is at least has some exciting implications for the future Batman solo films.

J.K. Simmons is the hero we don't deserve

The only major snag in the DCEU is Snyder at this point. and Gadot depending on who you ask. I think she's very pretty and could make for a cute Wondy, But, let's see how her movie goes. They have great ideas and some very quality talent in their fold. It's the execution that's missing and that's huge when it comes to a visual media. Snyder spends too much time explaining instead of delivering. Priorities, Snyder. Tone down the metaphors and concentrate on producing a cohesive story with these characters.
