Batman: Every Live-Action Commissioner Gordon Ranked Worst To Best

7. J.K. Simmons - DC Extended Universe

DC fans certainly rejoiced when the great J.K. Simmons was cast as the DC Extended Universe's Jim Gordon, yet as perfect a choice as Simmons was for the role, he ultimately ended up playing an incredibly small part in both versions of Justice League.

Despite getting supremely jacked for the role - causing Simmons to earn the hilarious nickname "Gym Gordon" among fans - little of the actor's physicality actually played into his take on The Commish.

While rocking one hell of a mustache and getting a few worthwhile scenes opposite Batman (Ben Affleck), the DCEU Gordon mostly feels like a thin sketch rather than a complete character.

We get to see flecks of a more senior, world-weary Gordon operating in Gotham, as fits perfectly within Zack Snyder's more dour tone, but audiences are mostly left to fill in the blanks themselves due to the scarcity of his presence.

At least with Simmons set to appear in the upcoming Batgirl film, there's a good chance he might jump up a few places on this list. The look and the casting are spot-on, but we've barely spent any time getting to know him.
