James W. Gordon is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, most commonly in association with the superhero Batman. The character debuted in the first panel of Detective Comics #27 (May 1939), Batman's first appearance, making him the first Batman supporting character ever to be introduced. The character was created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane as an ally of Batman.[2] As the police commissioner of Gotham City, Gordon shares Batman's deep commitment to ridding the city of crime. The character is typically portrayed as having full trust in Batman and is even somewhat dependent on him. In many modern stories, he is somewhat skeptical of Batman's vigilante methods, but nevertheless believes that Gotham needs him. The two have a mutual respect and tacit friendship. Gordon is the father or adoptive father (depending on the continuity) of Barbara Gordon, the first modern Batgirl and the information broker Oracle. Jim Gordon also has a son, James Gordon Jr., who first appeared in Batman: Year One. One of Batman's most notable and enduring supporting characters, Gordon has appeared in various forms of non-comics media, and has been portrayed in live-action by Neil Hamilton, Lyle Talbot, Pat Hingle, Gary Oldman, Ben McKenzie, and J. K. Simmons. He will be portrayed by Jeffrey Wright in the 2022 film The Batman and the upcoming series GCPD.
