- ❝ My name is Jim. I'm a hardworking detective with a beautiful wife who won't touch me even though I treat her like a queen and do everything for her. EVERYTHING! ❞
- — James Gordon
Commissioner James Gordon is a character in the T.V. series, Harley Quinn.
Background
James Gordon is the police commissioner for Gotham City's law enforcement, although he has become somewhat mentally unstable over the years, possibly due to the Joker supposedly paralyzing his partner. He even have family issues when he found out his wife cheating on him.
Personality
- ❝ What would Commissioner Gordon actually be like if he was the Commissioner of the Gotham Police Department, saw what he saw every single day for 27 years, and never went to therapy? What would that look like? He'd be so fucked up and constantly on edge. He’s got a thankless job, He’s doing the day-to-day grunt work, filling out all the paper work, and he’s oftentimes maligned. That ultimately drives a man to madness. His marriage is falling apart, He’s drinking too much and has no real friends. ❞
- — Justin Halpern.
The show actually shows how being in charge of Gotham City would take a toll on someone. Unlike most media, where Gordon remains tough as hell in the face of overwhelming adversity, this Gordon is a deeply stressed out mess of a man who's always on edge.
Appearance
Jim Gordon's appearance reflects his constant stress and him being near his mental breaking-point, with deep, dark bags under his eyes which are typically very wide open. He wears thick black glasses and has messy brown hair and mustache with grey stubble all over his face and a notable cleft chin. He wears a grey shirt with a very loose black tie, a small portion of his white undershirt showing out above his tie, the shirt can be seen only tucked on one side at all times instead of fully either way. He wears black shoes, a dark green jacket, and brown pants.
Trivia
- The Joker claims that he paralyzed Gordon's partner, although it is likely he may be referring to Gordon's daughter, Barbara.
