Hey Collider! With the recent casting ofJK Simmonsas Commissioner Gordon in the upcomingJustice Leaguemovie, something crossed my mind. InNolan’sDark Knight Trilogy, Gordon didn’t know Batman’s true identity until the very end. Now that we are dealing with an older Batman, do you think Gordon will know Bruce Wayne is Batman? Thanks

Hey Collider Crew! I just found out that theTupacbio,All Eyez on Me, is slated for a possibly late 2016 release date. What events would you like to see the movie cover besides just his music and acting career? Speaking on his acting career, if Tupac was still alive, do you think his acting would’ve shown major improvement? He had many great roles and shown good acting chops before his death, my favorite is the 1992 film,Juice, playing the sociopathic, lost soul Bishop. I think he would’ve been not only a great rapper, but a talented actor on the level ofDenzel Washington,Samuel L Jackson, andMorgan Freeman.
