James Gordon (Earth-8026)

"No, Barbara, I... I don't want to know who he is. Because as soon as I know who he is, he's just a man. He's no longer a symbol, he's no longer the Batman. And it isn't just the city that needs that symbol, and the hope that emanates off of it, but... I need that hope. I need the hope that normal people can be so much more than what was intended for them. And that's what he stands for to me and so many others, and I don't think I have the right to try and change that."

- Commissioner Gordon

James Gordon is the Commissioner of the Gotham City Police Department and a frequent ally of the vigilante the Batman.
