10 Movie Characters Who Were SHAFTED In 2021

10. Jim Gordon - Zack Snyder's Justice League

With all of the fuss made over what improvements would be made to Zack Snyder's inflated vision of Justice League, it was safe to assume that just about every character that'd been royally wasted in Joss Whedon's botched attempt to keep the DC dream alive would be given some much needed TLC in this 242-minute epic.

And while that was undoubtedly the case when it came to Ray Fisher's captivating portrayal of Cyborg, the same unfortunately could not be said for J.K. Simmons' highly anticipated turn as the long-suffering Commissioner Gordon. After seeing many of his scenes dropped from that aforementioned Whedon outing, fans were still left feeling a little let down by Gordon not exactly getting much to do of any real note in the colossal gathering of DC's superheroes. All in all, it felt like an actor of Simmons' calibre had been a little under-utilised in both flicks.

Thankfully, this disappointing introduction won't be the last we see of Simmons' Gordon as the veteran thespian looks set to reprise the grizzled role for the upcoming Batgirl movie, finally fleshing out the fatherly elements and other compelling aspects of this well-respected comic book unsung hero.
