First of all, props to the man who, in his 60s, managed to get this jacked, but this was the moment when Hollywood’s obsession with putting muscular men in superhero movies went way too far.

No wonder Gotham City is in the state it is in when its police commissioner is spending every waking hour doing bicep curls when he should be fighting crime. And why even bother going to the gym when you’re best mates with the Batman who will gladly beat up all your enemies for you anyway?

Considering he only appeared in 2017’s Justice League for all of six seconds and made absolutely no impact whatsoever - he didn't even get to take his shirt off - all of those hours at the gym really didn’t seem worth it. But hey? Good for him I guess. Take that Gary Oldman you scrawny second-rate Jim Gordon.

I used to get paid to write from an office until Covid took away my office and then took away my job. These days you'll mostly find me in bed binge-watching Buffy or standing outside a club at 10.01pm - hand pressed against the glass with a single tear running down my mask.
