How did you celebrate Batman Day? Did you scale a building with hastily knotted bedsheets? Did you burst into the Iceberg Lounge and pummel Cobblepot until he gave up the identities of the latest Red Hood gang? Did you offer an orphan the opportunity to train as a costumed, bird-themed human shield? Well, regardless of what you did or didn’t do, we know exactly what BvS and Justice League director Zack Snyder did: he granted us our very first look at actor J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon in Justice League.
First, the official tweet:

And now, a slightly larger version-
Snyder has been pretty liberal with some behind-the-scenes tweets from the set of Justice League. First, we witnessed an Atlantean striking the very first chord of “Freebird,” then we got a look at Batman in his very-reminiscent-of-Nite Owl costume. Now? Now we get Oscar-winner J.K. Simmons in full, Commissioner Gordon regalia, and he’s obviously in the midst of summoning Gotham’s favorite, but mostly terrifying, Bat-themed protector.
Yeah, Snyder also shared a picture of himself in front of the Bat-Signal, but really, who gives a flying ####. We’re here for Gordon.
