Justice League: Zack Snyder reveals the first look at J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon!


Giving fans of both a certain Dark Knight and the DC Extended Universe something to be excited about for Batman Day, director Zack Snyder has revealed via Twitter one of the most awaited reveals for his upcoming "Justice League" movie next year - the very FIRST LOOK of Academy Award winning actor J.K. Simmons as Batman's closest ally and confidant - Commissioner Jim Gordon!

As you can see in the image above, Gordon stands on what is presumably the Gotham City Police Department rooftop, with the Bat Signal on and shining for his vigilante ally to respond to and meet any threats that dare oppose the forces of Justice!


Besides Snyder also posting a photo with him standing beside the now iconic Bat Signal that first appeared with Ben Affleck's Batman in this year's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, this is the second reveal this week following the "Tactical Batsuit" tweet the director made a few days ago that announced the wrapping up of filming for Batman scenes in the JL Movie. Only time will tell for sure when we'll be seeing more teases as the countdown to the film's release next year continues.

Justice League will be released in theaters on November 17, 2017!

Batman Day: Save the date on September 17, 2016!


It's that time of the year again when a certain Caped Crusader gets a day to himself and his fans celebrating worldwide as well, as DC Comics has officially dated September 17, 2016 as "Batman Day" - the THIRD TIME the event has happened since its inception in 2014 as part of The Dark Knight's 75th Anniversary!

According to Comic Book.com, DC Comics has announced that there will be free comic book giveaways once again, as well as special artists like Frank Miller, Scott Snyder, and Tom King who have worked on the character promoting the legacy Bruce Wayne's alter ego has garnered for 77 years now. There's no better time to celebrate either, as Batman and the rest of the DC Universe have experience a "Rebirth" in comics, as well as Ben Affleck portraying an older and hardened Dark Knight in this year's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and will make a cameo in this August's Suicide Squad.

Prepare for Batman Day on September!

Batman Day Week ushers on, and DC Entertainment is not pulling any stops in letting fans and readers of the Caped Crusader know his big day arrives on Wednesday, July 23. That being said, Jim Lee and the people behind the publisher's popular MMORPG DC Universe Online have released this stellar video tackling the essence of The Dark Knight and his presence in the game, which is just perfect and in time for his 75th Anniversary.


75 Years of Batman: Building the Bat in DC Universe Online

What's pretty neat about the video is that not only does it recap the importance of Batman, but his design inspirations and look used in the game, which is drawn straight from Jim Lee's highly successful designs and pencil work in the 2002 "Batman: Hush" storyline. A classic take on the character is emphasized, not to mention it being recognizable and a standard for many that remains iconic to this day.
