Jim Gordon
James Worthington “Jim” Gordon is a supporting character in DC Comics’ Batman series. Created by Bob Kane, he first appeared in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939). He was the first Batman supporting character to be introduced.
In most incarnations of the Batman mythos, Gordon is the police commissioner of Batman’s home of Gotham City. He shares the hero’s deep commitment of ridding the dark and corrupting city of crime. In Golden and Silver age comics and on the 1960s Batman television show, Gordon fully trusts, and is even somewhat dependent on Batman. In most modern stories, he is somewhat skeptical of Batman’s vigilante method but recognizes the necessity of Batman and the two have a mutual respect and tacit friendship. Gordon is also the father or adopted father, depending on the continuity, of Barbara Gordon, the original Batgirl and later Oracle.
Gordon is an important part of the Batman mythos and has appeared in most other media adaptations of the character.
