He’s great in everything he’s in, and I cannot wait to see him in action as Commissioner Gordon. I truly believe he’s perfect for the role.
J.K. Simmons was the last person to play the role. He very briefly turned up in Justice League. He was in like one shot of the movie, which was a shame because I actually thought he was also good casting for the role.
Before Simmons, the last person to play Gordon on the big screen was Gary Oldman in the Christopher Nolan Batman films, and he was pretty darn good in that role.
Ben McKenzie has also played a version of Gordon in the Gotham TV show, but the less said about that the better.
