Batman was an ensemble artiste in Justice League, but there were nevertheless a few opportunities to stress the Caped Crusader's mythology in the movie. Along bearing in mind bringing urge on Bruce Wayne's trusty butler/confidant, Alfred Pennyworth, Justice League next included Gotham City Police commissioner James Gordon to the DC extended Universe, played by J.K. Simmons. For those who are wondering whether we'll ever look Simmons' Gordon again, the actor said there are currently no plans for him to return, while he is admission to reprising the character. In Simmons' words:
Nothing has changed. There are conversations going on, that I'm not going to create public. As far and wide as I know, there's no opportunity, in the rapid future, for me to attain more commissioner Gordon, but I continue to be optimistic that it will happen again.
The highly developed of the DCEU looks a lot alternative than it did bearing in mind the initial slate of movies was announced in late 2014, especially solution how Justice League commercially underperformed last year. while Matt Reeves' The Batman, the likeliest next-door area for commissioner Gordon to pop up, remains in development, it nevertheless doesn't have a release date attached. J.K. Simmons is helpfully privy to things being discussed in unnamed over at Warner Bros and DC, while he won't ration those bearing in mind the public. Still, while nothing is in the works currently for Simmons to don the mustache and trench coat again, as he told Collider, filling Gordon's shoes over hasn't been ruled out entirely.
In Justice League, commissioner Gordon first interacted bearing in mind Batman, wonder Woman, Flash and Cyborg atop the GCPD rooftop (home of the world-famous Bat-Signal), where he passed along intel roughly people from or close S.T.A.R. Labs being abducted by alien perpetrators. He highly developed returned after the League's first battle bearing in mind Steppenwolf, commenting that they caused millions in damages, but he liked seeing Batman "playing well bearing in mind others again." Gordon's screen time was minimal, but at least it had customary that he and the Dark Knight nevertheless have a fine rapport going.
Obviously it would be great for James Gordon to have a role in The Batman, but there's nevertheless a lot we don't know roughly that project, chiefly whether it will look Ben Affleck donning the cape and cowl over or if the rumors are true and a younger actor will doing Batman instead. If it's the latter, after that one would imagine that a younger actor would be needed to doing Gordon as well, before in objector depictions of Baman's history, Gordon is a ways off from becoming commissioner.
While it might be too late to tug this off before it's coming on filming soon, I would recommend birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (yes, that's in point of fact the title) put in James Gordon. bearing in mind the movie taking area in Gotham City and Batman reportedly MIA, it might be nice to have a au fait perspective around. Besides, if Harley Quinn, Huntress and Black Canary are causing a objection warfare Black Mask, you would imagine that the city's police commissioner would eventually hear roughly it and acquire the police force involved.
