J.K. Simmons Reveals The Size Of 'Commissioner Gordon''s Role In JUSTICE LEAGUE And Future BATMAN Movies

One of Justice League's most impressive casting additions to date is no doubt Spider-Man and Whiplash star J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Jim Gordon, but it sounds like he'll only be making a cameo appearance of sorts in the superhero ensemble. Talking in the video below, the actor explained that Batman's closest ally won't be spending a huge amount of time hanging out with the Caped Crusader. "I don't get started on that until June, and my part in the first one is very small. I'm excited to be playing that iconic character in that iconic series."

That's slightly disappointing, but it sounds like Warner Bros. has big plans for the character, no doubt starting with Ben Affleck's The Batman a couple of years from now. "I'm going into a thing that hopefully will be 2, 3, 4, maybe more movies for me, and my part in the first one is really very small," he explained. "But obviously, we know who the guy is. We know his whole backstory, based on the comic book. So, I'm just gonna finish doing my research on that. And probably not watch the other actors who have played the part, because that is kind of intimidating, honestly, and I don't think I would find that to be productive. So, I'll do my take."

So if he hopes that he will be in more, then that means he read the script, WHICH MEANS HE MOST LIKELY WON'T DIE!!!

He will be incredible I'm sure. Great cast DC, WB, and Snyder/Affleck are assembling too.

I'd like to see him have a heavyweight scene or two with Irons Alfred.

I am not sure this would work well. The most interesting stories around Batman is when he first meets Batman. Batfleck is old to do a Year 1 type film.

JK Simmons will be killed within the first half hour. His role will be tiny and you'll be misled to believe it's just another cop, then it turns out he is a CIA agent. Then he'll be killed. Afterwards Synder will reveal he was actually the commissioner himself.

@SuperbatSpider1003 - Of course! They'll give him something classic and not fake-looking at all.

What the use of casting great actors if you don't have a director that really good?
