JK Simmons is 61-years-old and approximately 61 times as ripped as us.
The actor, known for playing J. Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man film series, has taken on the role of Batman’s mate Commissioner Gordon for the upcoming Justice League movie.
If you were a fan of Chris Nolan’s Batman films you’re probably picturing Gary Oldman’s Commissioner Gordon – a brilliant but very-much not ripped policeman.
Simmons is taking the character in a whole ‘nother direction – adding muscles on top of muscles to the extent that he could probably compete with the superheroes themselves in hand-to-hand combat. Which is probably exactly the point.

Simmons had already been in pretty good shape for his role in last year’s Whiplash – but his progress under the training of Aaron Williamson is jaw-dropping.

We can only assume that Commissioner Gordon’s about to kick some ass.
