James "Jim" Gordon is a prominent character in the DC Comics universe, most notably associated with Batman. He is typically portrayed as a police officer, and later commissioner, of the Gotham City Police Department (GCPD).

Gordon is one of Batman's most important allies, often working with the vigilante to combat crime and corruption in Gotham. He is characterized by his strong moral compass and dedication to justice, often standing in stark contrast to the pervasive corruption within the GCPD.

Throughout various interpretations, Gordon's backstory includes military service and a transfer to Gotham from Chicago. He develops a complex, though ultimately supportive, relationship with Batman, recognizing the necessity of his methods while remaining committed to upholding the law.

Beyond his role in law enforcement, Gordon is frequently depicted as a devoted family man. His character embodies the struggle to maintain integrity in a morally compromised environment, making him a crucial counterpoint to the darker elements of Gotham's landscape.
