Actor J.K. Simmons has officially joined the cast of "Justice League: Part One" in the role of Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon.
The Oscar winner will take over the role which was previously portrayed by Gary Oldman in director Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight" trilogy. The iconic character is also currently featured in the Fox television series series "Gotham" where he is played by actor Ben McKenzie.
