Personality: Gordon is aware of the legal issues associated with his partnership with the Dark Knight. Such as adopting a philosophy from Batman's activities. Whereas Batman works in darkness as Gotham's Dark Knight, Commissioner James Gordon is its knight in the spotlight-ever vigilant and open about his commitment and desire to do what is right to protect and serve the people of his city.


Backstory: Rookie cop James Gordon was transferred from Gotham to Chicago as part of a plan by Gillian Loeb, still only a captain. The plan was to cover up events that would eventually lead to the creation of the first wraith. Gordon had shot a dirty cop and his wife while they were sneaking out of a warehouse, leaving their child alive. Gordon complied when Loeb threatened to kill the couple's young son, James Jr. During his tenure in Chicago, Gordon struggled with his wife, Barbara Eileen Gordon over conceiving a child, and took university classes in criminology. He faced brutality amongst the other officers after uncovering corruption within the force. Later, Gordon uncovered evidence of rigging in the mayoral election, and brought down two more of his fellow officers. Eventually, his commissioner recommended a speedy transfer to Gotham City for him, both for his own safety and for theirs.


A man of integrity, the newly-promoted Lt. Gordon found that his only ally against the mob-controlled Gotham police department was the fledgling Batman, although he was forced to keep their working relationship out of the public eye whenever possible.[3] Gordon is able to contact Batman with the Bat-Signal, and usually meets with him on the rooftop of the GCPD.
