"If I didn't work with cops you investigated while you were making your name at I.A., I'd be working alone. I don't get political points for being an idealist, I have to do the best I can with what I have."

Lieutenant James Gordon is an honest cop.

In a city where the line between light and darkness is often blurred by the smoke and haze of chaos, this is no small feat. A veteran of the Gotham City Police Department, he has watched his city crumble beneath the weight of madmen and organized crime, and rise with the help of a knight in not-so-shining armor. Batman isn't the hero that he ever thought Gotham would need - but he's the one that they deserve.

As far as canon and timelines go, Jim is set during the middle film in the trilogy - The Dark Knight - before the armored truck transport of Harvey Dent that captures the Joker (and before he makes the rank of Commissioner).

I am using Gary Oldman (obviously) as the physical appearance of Gordon. He is a 'normal' human, with no special abilities and/or strange physical features. He has brown hair (flecked with hints of grey) and brown eyes, a decent build for his height/weight - he's no muscled athlete, but he is in very good shape and able to perform his duties as a cop without any difficulty. He is trained in the use of several types of firearms and in advanced driving techniques, as well as crisis negotiation.

REGARDING COMICS PUPS RECOGNIZING GORDON / FINDING HIM SIMILAR IN APPEARANCE: Yes, by all means! Just be aware he may be a little confused at first, especially before he realizes that there are more universes and more versions of him that exist.

If anyone has any questions regarding Jim and/or wants to get in touch, he has a contact post up in his journal where a comment (screened) can be left.
