The last time we saw J.K. Simmons in a superhero movie he was busting Peter Parker's balls from the editor's chair of the Daily Bugle.

Now he's set to become one of the few actors to cross the great Marvel-DC divide by taking on the role of iconic Batman ally Commissioner James Gordon.

Simmons will make his first appearance as the Gotham City lawman in Zack Snyder's Justice League before reprising the role alongside Ben Affleck in The Batman.

We got our first look at Gordon 2.0 via Snyder's Twitter account when the filmmaker posted a stylish noir photo of Simmons's character in Bat Signalling mode.
