JUSTICE LEAGUE: J.K. Simmons talks Reshoots and Jim Gordon
J.K. Simmons has been back in the studio according to comicbookmovie.com.

SUICIDE SQUAD: Leto sticks to his Rule of Thumb
According to comicbook.com, Jared Leto has decided to not watch his performance in Suicide Squad. Leto has said that watching his own performances makes him self conscious, or prone to repeat his performances. Leto has said that he even hasn’t watched his Oscar winning performance in Dallas Buyers Club. He’ll break the rule for a few movies, like Requiem for a Dream, and Blade Runner 2049, but has decided for now, he won’t be watching the middling performance he gave in Suicide Squad. Personally I think he’s better off, but let us know how you feel about the movie by tweeting us @WatchtowerBabel.
