J.K. Simmons looking forward to working with Ben Affleck on future Batman films

October 3, 2017 by Samuel Brace

J.K. Simmons, who plays the DCEU’s Jim Gordon, is excited about working with Ben Affleck on future Batman films.

While the latest incarnation of Batman has had its far share of turmoil in recent times, there is one actor at least who is thinking long term. Simmons, in a recent interview with Red Carpet News TV, expressed how much he enjoys working with Ben Affleck and is looking forward to developing their two characters together, especially in a more story driven sense as the two are now older.

“Oh absolutely, yeah. And I worked with Ben a couple of years ago on The Accountant and I met him years before that. So yes, I’m excited to work with him and hope to work with him on the other side of the camera at some point, as well. He’s obviously a talented filmmaker in addition to being the movie star that he is and the good actor that he is, which I think will continue to develop as we see Batman and Commissioner Gordon not be spring chickens and we get into some interesting stories about these weathered kinds of guys.”

Let’s hope Simmons’ enthusiasm rubs off on the right people, allowing us to witness the character developments proposed.

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

Justice League will reunite Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice stars Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Connie Nielsen as Queen Hippolyta and Robin Wright as General Antiope alongside J.K.
