In the comics, Falcone is a powerful Mafia chieftain nicknamed `` The Roman, '' where his stranglehold over Gotham City 's organized crime is referenced as `` The Roman Empire '' at least once. In Batman : Year One, his penthouse is designed in a Roman architectural style. Falcone appeared in the mini-series Batman : The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. The character is based on Marlon Brando 's portrayal of Don Vito Corleone from the 1972 film The Godfather. Loeb stated in an interview that he paralleled the Falcone family to that of the Corleone family : Falcone 's power and wisdom akin to Vito Corleone, his son Alberto 's personality and appearance that of Fredo Corleone, and his daughter Sofia 's temper matching that of Sonny Corleone. Lastly, his elder son Mario 's deportation to Sicily, physical appearance and desire to legitimize the Falcone family are all traits shared with Michael Corleone. Fictional character biography In a flashback in The Long Halloween, Vincent Falcone brings his dying son, Carmine ( who had been shot several times by Luigi Maroni ), to Thomas Wayne. Fearing Maroni would finish the job at a public hospital, he begs Wayne to perform surgery at Wayne Manor. A young Bruce Wayne watches his father save Falcone 's life. At Thomas Wayne 's funeral, Carmine Falcone tells Bruce that he can always ask a favor of him. In Batman : Year One, Falcone virtually runs Gotham City, with the mayor, the city council, Commissioner Gillian B. Loeb, and Detective Arnold Flass in his pocket. His power comes under attack with the arrival of the mysterious vigilante Batman. In one scene, Batman crashes Falcone 's dinner party to announce that all of the corrupt attendees will be delivered to justice. Despite Loeb 's desperate attempts to stop him, Batman 's attacks on Falcone 's organization become even more brazen. Batman invades Falcone 's home, strips him to his underwear, and leaves him hogtied to his bed. Humiliated, Falcone orders Batman killed. Batman is too elusive, however, and aids Catwoman in attacking Falcone ; Catwoman leaves three scratch marks on his face. Finally, Falcone orders an unsuccessful attempt to kidnap Detective Jim Gordon 's family. Eventually, investigations led by Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, with some secret assistance by Batman, restore law and order to Gotham : Loeb is forced to resign and Falcone 's power is put under threat by the new opposition he faces. Falcone blames his nephew Johnny Viti for the foiled plot against Gordon and tries to order a hit ; Johnny survives and Falcone finds himself at odds with his sister Carla, the head of the Viti crime family in Chicago. During The Long Halloween, the Falcone family is targeted by a serial killer named Holiday. Falcone is able to frustrate his enemies with a careful mix of murder and influence. The situation changes when Batman and Dent discover one of Falcone 's warehouses, containing millions in stockpiled cash. They burn the money, striking a blow against Falcone he can not ignore. This drives him to take desperate measures, hiring `` freaks '' in the form of what becomes Batman 's Rogues Gallery. Infuriated by Dent 's efforts to disrupt his operations -- and convinced that Dent is the Holiday killer -- he persuades his former rival Sal Maroni to kill Dent while standing trial. Falcone 's men provide Maroni with a vial of acid, which he hurls at Dent during a court proceeding. This happens on August 2, Falcone 's birthday. The acid disfigures the left side of Dent 's face, leading to him becoming Two - Face. At the story 's climax, Two - Face leads the rest of Batman 's Rogue 's Gallery ( consisting of Catwoman, Joker, Mad Hatter, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, and Solomon Grundy ) into breaking into the Falcone penthouse. Two - Face kills Falcone following a coin flip that lands on the scarred side. Falcone 's son Alberto confesses to all of the Holiday killings in an attempt to be accepted into the family business. In Batman : Dark Victory, Falcone 's grave site is robbed and his body goes missing. His finger is cut off and sent to his daughter, Sofia Gigante, the new leader of the Falcone Family. This is described as an `` old style message '', signifying that someone is out to take everything away from the Falcone Family. Alberto is put under house arrest, and he begins to hear his father 's voice in the home. Ultimately, the dead body of corrupt District Attorney Janice Porter ends up in Alberto 's bed while he is sleeping. His father calls him a failure, and urges him to commit suicide. Knowing his father abhorred suicide, Alberto figures out that the voice is part of a ruse, and shoots a mirror : Behind the mirror is the Calendar Man, who shoots him as he tries to escape. When Batman and Gordon investigate, they find secret passages and microphones for the Calendar Man to move freely about the house. They then learn that Scarecrow had laced Alberto 's cigarettes with fear toxin. Not until the end is it revealed that Two - Face has Falcone 's body in his possession, having frozen it using Mr. Freeze 's cryogenic technology. Selina Kyle briefly visits the grave at the conclusion of the story, where it is revealed that she believes that Falcone is her biological father. The new 52 In The New 52 ( a reboot of the DC Comics universe ), Carmine Falcone appears in the second issue of Batman Eternal determined to reclaim his empire after Commissioner Gordon is framed for mass murder. Falcone 's plot to retake control of Gotham City progresses, with it clear that he controls Mayor Sebastian Hardy ( who has been the Mayor of Gotham City for 5 years with Falcone 's help ) and also control of the Gotham City Police Department. While Falcone and Mayor Hardy instruct the police to hunt down Batman, Falcone 's henchmen begin attacking arms caches belonging to his chief rival Penguin. It is revealed at the conclusion of the story that Falcone was unaware of the larger plot against Batman, and was simply informed that he would have a chance to strike by an anonymous letter sent to him by the true mastermind. DC rebirth In ' War of Jokes and Riddles ', a flash to a year after the events of Zero Year, Falcone is contacted by the Joker with strict instructions to kill the Riddler within an hour.

Loeb ( Peter Scolari ), and specific members of the Gotham City Police Department in his pocket. He also claims that Detective Jim Gordon 's ( Ben McKenzie ) late father, who was Gotham 's district attorney, was on his payroll. Falcone is served by many operatives including the assassin Victor Zsasz ( Anthony Carrigan ). Throughout the first season, Falcone faces several threats to his power : his associate Fish Mooney ( Jada Pinkett Smith ) is secretly planning to overthrow him ; Gordon vows to bring him down ; and his main rival Sal Maroni ( David Zayas ) is encroaching on his territory. Falcone enlists small - time criminal Oswald Cobblepot ( Robin Lord Taylor ) to help him destroy his enemies. Falcone also becomes enamored of a young woman named Liza ( Makenzie Leigh ), who is secretly working for Mooney. He later strangles Liza to death when he discovers where her allegiances lie. As punishment for her treason, he has Mooney imprisoned and gives control of her nightclub and the remnants of her gang to Cobblepot. Bent on ruling Gotham himself, Cobblepot instigates a turf war between Falcone and Maroni. In the season finale, `` All Happy Families Are Alike, '' Falcone is wounded by Maroni 's men, and Cobblepot and his henchman Butch Gilzean ( Drew Powell ) go to the hospital to kill him. Gordon foils the assassination attempt, however, and takes Falcone, Cobblepot, and Gilzean to Falcone 's safehouse - where Mooney and Maroni are waiting, intent on killing them all. During the meeting, Mooney double - crosses Maroni by shooting him in the head, which leads to a fight between Maroni 's men and Mooney 's gang. While Cobblepot fights Mooney, Gordon, Bullock, and Falcone manage to escape back to Gordon 's apartment. Falcone announces that he is going to retire and leave Gotham, and gives Gordon a knife that was given to him by Gordon 's father.

When an attempt is made on Mario 's life, Falcone tortures one of the detained assassins that the Court of Owls arranged the hit. He meets with the group 's representative Kathryn and demands that they leave Mario alone, saying that the group owes him for letting them use the Indian Hill property. Kathryn withholds a dark secret about Mario and states that he and those on his side wo n't win against the Court of Owls if they come after them in retaliation. After his son 's wedding, he is confronted by Gordon that Mario has a Tetch virus and he 's willing to kill Leslie. He tells Gordon to bring his son alive. In `` Mad City : Ghosts, '' Carmine Falcone attends his son 's funeral. In a talk with Leslie Thompkins, Carmine tells Leslie to let him carry the burden of Mario 's loss as he had done with other burdens. This leads to Carmine Falcone sending Victor Zsasz to do a hit on Gordon. After visiting Nathaniel Barnes at Arkham Asylum, Leslie tells Carmine Falcone to call off the hit since Mario would 've acted the same way that Leslie did. Carmine comments that he knows that Leslie still loves Gordon. When it came to the shootout at Gordon 's apartment, Carmine arrived telling Victor Zsasz that the hit has been cancelled causing Victor to take his leave. After Gordon apologizes to him about what he had to do to Mario, Carmine quotes `` If it were up to me, you 'd be dead. '' Carmine then takes his leave from Gordon 's apartment.

Following Chill 's death, Wayne confronts Falcone and tells him that not everyone in Gotham is afraid of him.
