As if one couldn’t get more information from the man himself, JK yet again explains further on some of the things we might want to know about his portrayal of the titular character Commissioner Gordon. He was recently interviewed by Entertainment Tonight who asked him a few things.
On why he got so into shape:
“The going to the gym, honestly, had nothing to do with Commissioner Gordon. I’ve just been going to the gym off and on my whole life — but the last five or six years, I’ve been trying to just stay pretty dedicated and fight Father Time, and not to turn into a fat piece of poo again.”
On his hopes for the character’s future:
“In the comics, he’s a pretty tough guy. He’s not just this comic relief. In the first film that we’re currently shooting [Justice League], my part is not as big as, knock wood, it will be in some of the future films…but the plan is if that there will be more Commissioner Gordon in the future. And I have absolutely no idea, zero idea, but I’m lobbying right now: let Commissioner Gordon be a badass.”
On calling up other actors for the role:“I have not, although our kids have been in school together. Actors like to do their own thing. Gary Oldman is a great, great actor, and I think he was awesome as Commissioner Gordon, and I’m doing a different version.”
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Directed by Zack Snyder, this marks the big screen debut of the Justice League, featuring an all-star lineup: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher. With JK Simmons as Comissioner Gordon, Amber Heard as Mera, Julian Lewis Jones, and Willem Dafoe as Vulko.
