Gotham
“Before Batman, there was Gotham.”
CreatorBruno Heller
Long before he became Gotham City's incorruptible commissioner, James Gordon is an idealistic young detective walking into a metropolis rotted through with corruption, mob warfare, and casual brutality. His investigation into the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne binds him to their orphaned son Bruce, even as the city's underworld breeds the monsters who will one day define it. Across its arc, familiar villains take shape in embryo, from the scheming Oswald Cobblepot to the future Catwoman, Riddler, and a chaotic figure who may become the Joker. Stylish, operatic, and pulpy, this origin story reimagines the Batman mythology as the noir tale of the good cop who refused to look away.
