JK Simmons isn’t thrilled about the decision to scrap the Batgirl movie.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, Simmons reflected on his time as Commissoner Gordon in the DC universe. He technically only played him once, but that wasn’t the initial plan. Zack Snyder had cast Simmons as the mustached cop in Justice League, where he had a small role and, presumably, he also would’ve starred in Ben Affleck’s abandoned Batman film. When that fell by the wayside, he was eventually cast in Batgirl, where Michael Keaton would’ve reprised his role as the Caped Crusader.<\/p>\n
The entire film was shot and largely completed, but Warner Bros. scrapped it (along with other projects) in favor of a tax write-off. That tax write-off also meant that the film can never be released. According to Simmons, even he didn’t get to see it. <\/p>\n
