As production begins to ramp up , recent set photos have confirmed GCPD involvement in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. This raises the question: Will Police Commissioner James Gordon make an appearance? As fans know, Gordon is a long time friend and ally of Batman so it would be hard to imagine him not being present in some form. Gary Oldman recently portrayed Gordon in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy. His performance will be a tough act to follow but here are 5 actors I think could do the role justice.
5. William H. Macy
He has the look and the acting chops. Macy wouldn't be my first choice but I think he's a solid choice for the role.
4. Gary Cole
He's not the best actor on this list but with proper direction I feel Cole would bring a certain confidence to the role. Think of Gordon from Batman: The Animated Series. As with everyone on this list he looks good with a mustache.
3. Ted Levine
With his tenure as Captain Leland Stottlemeyer on the series Monk, Levine is no stranger to playing an officer of the law. He would bring a commanding presence to the man in charge of Gotham's finest.
2. Tom Selleck
Selleck has experience playing Police Commissioner Frank Reagan on the CBS series Blue Bloods. He is easily the most charismatic choice on the list, known for his wit. Selleck has years of experience and the necessary gravitas to bring Gordon to life on the big screen.
1. Bryan Cranston
Who else? Fans have been saying this for years and for good reason. Not only is Cranston a phenominal actor, securing his 4th Emmy win last night for his portrayal of Walter White on AMC's Breaking Bad, but he has the look down to a tee. He even voiced Gordon in the animated feature Batman: Year One.
Well there you have it. The actors who I think are best suited to take on the iconic role of James Gordon. Who do you think should play Gordon in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Let me know in the comments below.
