3. Commissioner Gordon

At last, a first look at JK Simmons' Commissioner Jim Gordon, complete with a luxurious moustache and a paternal dynamic to Batman, who he says he's happy to see playing nicely with others again. The shadow of Nightwing looms large here.

Snyder has foreshadowed why this idea of finding family is important:

"He’s been a loner for certainly his crime-fighting career, maybe with the exception of Robin. When we meet him in BvS, he’s definitely at this low point of isolation. That was always our intention, that Justice League would be this continuation for Batman to evolve into a more complete hero."

Like I say, that moustache is pretty spot on.

The shape of it definitely feels like it's there as an homage to the Animated Batman version of Gordon...
