Carl Finch (Earth-6531)

"Falcone has half the city bought and paid for. Drop it."

- - Carl Finch

Carl Finch was the District Attorney of Gotham City, New Jersey.

Early Life
Carl Finch became the District Attorney of Gotham City in late 2007. While he fought hard against corruption in the city, Finch also knew how to keep away from big criminals such as Carmine Falcone, rarely involving himself with his affairs.

Chill Trial
Finch took upon as the lawyer of Joe Chill during the latter's trial to convince Judge Faden Harkness on giving a parole to Chill after 40 years of incarceration at the Blackgate Penitentiary. However, while Chill's parole was given, he was ultimately killed by an informant of Falcone, who was shot when a security guard noticed it.

The Batman
Finch worked as the DA when Doctor Jonathan Crane asked him for Victor Zsasz to be sent to Arkham Asylum instead of Blackgate, claiming that Zsasz was criminally insane.

With the debut of the Batman vigilante, Lieutenant James Gordon was able to obtain proof of Falcone's criminal activities, although when he approached Carl, the DA showed reluctance in giving this proof to the courts knowing of Carmine's influence.

Death
This led him to investigate anonymous claims about extra compartment belonging to Wayne Enterprises. Opening a container, he and two police officers discovered WENT's Microwave Emitter. However, one of the cops betrayed Finch and the other, killing them, and revealing himself as a Falcone thug.
