for James Gordon in DC Cinematic Universe Reboot

Basically, the DCEU is hot garbage. However, I see the Matt Reeves Batman trilogy as being a gateway into a soft reboot that can actually be good. In this new DCCU, some actors can reprise their roles (for example, Jeremy Irons was a good Alfred, and Shazam can stay canon).The Justice League roster I'm working up towards is -Batman (Bruce Wayne) -Superman (Clark Kent) -Wonder Woman (Diana Prince) -The Flash (Barry Allen) -Green Lantern (John Stewart) -Aquaman (Arthur Curry) -Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) In this version, Cyborg will be a member of the Teen Titans long before he joins the JLA. Also, the villains of The Batman have already been confirmed, but I'm going to go in my own direction with my concept for those movies. The characters will be characters who would be in the Justice League movies, as well as the solo movies of the characters. Other movies would include 3 or 4 Batman movies, 3 Superman movies, 2 or 3 Flash movies, 3 or 4 Green Lantern movies (there are so many stories), 2 Aquaman movies, 2 Wonder Woman movies, a Shazam sequel, a hard maybe on a Green Arrow movie, a Nightwing movie, and 2 Teen Titans movies. Obviously I know none of these are ever going to happen, but a fanboy in his mom's basement can dream right?
